👉 Beats math, or mathematical music theory, is a framework that applies mathematical concepts to understand and create music. It involves analyzing musical elements like rhythm, harmony, and melody through mathematical lenses, such as ratios, frequencies, and patterns. For instance, the basis of musical scales is rooted in ratios (like 2:1 for an octave), while chord progressions often follow harmonic series and intervals derived from frequency ratios. This approach helps musicians and composers understand the underlying structure of music, enabling them to compose more harmonically rich and rhythmically coherent pieces. By using math, we can predict how notes will sound together, create balanced compositions, and even generate music algorithmically.
