I’m not a music theory expert but have a good understanding of some of the physics as a sound engineer. It’s a fascinating subject. Every living thing vibrates and it obviously affects us in numerous ways, music being the most obvious in that it can alter or enhance mood just by listening. There’s also some stuff about frequencies written about that just doesn’t hold weight. There’s a theory about western tuning, that 432Hz is more in tune with the universe than the standard 440Hz. It’s interesting but when you look into the maths it just doesn’t stack up so I’m both interested and wary on theories around frequencies (I’ve also experimented with some of these in music I’ve made over the years). I’m open minded on the subject, I think there’s a lot we don’t know about how vibrations affect us and the world around us. Fascinating subject!
