Music is shaped by the science of sound. How can music - an artform
- have anything to do with science? Yet there are myriad ways in
which the two are intertwined, from the basics of music theory and
the design of instruments to hi-fi systems and how the brain
processes music. Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising
connections between science and music, from the theory of sound
waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create
music. The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in
the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create,
record and listen to music. Technology has also provided new
insights into the effects that different music has on the brain, to
the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with
uncanny accuracy, which raises a worrying question: how long will
it be before AI can create music on a par with humans?
