This is liable to get us into a discussion about whether math was invented or discovered and I have only so much control of the ASp.

I will go so far as to also thank Faldage for the proverbial "chicken and the egg" exit... but I'd rather talk elephants... Music (I'm sure you all heard this before) is a unique and personal experience for all. Attempts at *understanding it in the context of mathematics is futile (or more appropriately "just not worth the effort") since it exists in real time as an occurance with endless relativities. It is not an application of mathematics.[hopefully *clearer emphasis this time] http://www.mwscomp.com/mpfc/argument.html What I meant was the reason why a musical instrument does what it does is entirely math and physics... Curious that you left us "*sensitive, *caring, *artistic *musician types" out of this statement... but I don't take it personally!

That's another one of my favourite things about music - quantify it though we may try - there's still some sort of human touch which can't be described in words or numbers. Both components enhance the experience, for sure. I was a musician long before I was a physicist, and loved music right from the start, but when I began to learn about how sound is produced, and all those other music-related physics things, it just made my musical experiences that much richer!
