Music is an art that brings out the beautiful gifts of sound listened to through speakers, iPods, car radios, and other resources day by day. Music in itself is a basis of wonder in which are society revolves around. The beautiful melodies and instruments are just magically heard everywhere and whenever at our expense. However, the question is how are we allowed to even hear these beautiful sounds coming out of these devices and electronics in the first place.
Wave Frequencies
Music appears to be transmitted by magic, appearing in all our devices day by day. Sound produces as though it is a wave in the air, that cannot be produced without an atmosphere.
A sound wave creates minute pockets of higher and lower air pressure, and all the sounds we hear are caused by these pressure changes. With music, the frequency at which these pockets hit your ear controls the pitch that you hear. If a note has a frequency of 260 Hertz, this mean that 260 pockets of high air pressure are hitting your ear each second. This also means that higher pitched notes have higher frequencies.
How Joseph Fourier Evolved Music With Math
In the 60s, an American engineer by the name of R A Moog used the equation's made by Joseph Fourier to design electronic music synthesizers. In the 80s, Yamaha, the Japanese electronics company, used the same math to revolutionize the music industry with the first of electronic keyboard instruments. And today, Fourier's equations reign as part of the mathematical framework on which the music MP3 is based.
Conclusion
All in all, music has gotten to be where it is today through the work and intelligence of those in history. Without Fournier and his equations the ways in which music has evolved would have never been reached, and the sounds of music would not be heard as much as it is today. The complex, intriguing world of wave frequencies and sound waves would never have been seen ,and the idea's of how we can evolve music would never have spread.
