Album Math is a concept within the electronic music scene, particularly associated with artists like Deadmau5 and Zeds Dead, that involves creating an album by mathematically determining the number of tracks needed to fill a specific duration, often 20 minutes or more, while maintaining a consistent tempo and overall structure. This involves calculating the time it takes for each track to play at the desired BPM (beats per minute) and ensuring that the sum of these times equals the total album length. For instance, if an album is set to play at 128 BPM and needs to fit within 20 minutes, the total track length must be approximately 1333 beats (20 minutes
128 BPM / 120 seconds per minute), which translates to around 110 tracks (1333 beats / 120 beats per track). This method ensures a cohesive and balanced album that flows smoothly, with each track contributing to the overall narrative or sonic journey.
