Inspired by ground breaking pioneers in math, science and the arts, my music-mapping Periodicity Project began as a comprehensive catalog of musical patterns and processes, establishing powerful tools for understanding modern music. It grew into this book, Mapping the Music Universe, written for literate musicians, college music students, composers, music scholars, and anyone who is intellectually curious about how music works in the 20th and 21st centuries.
