On the mathematics of beauty: beautiful music
arXiv:1707.06510
Abstract
In this paper, we will study the simplest kind of beauty that can be found in a simple piece of music and can be appreciated universally. The proposed approach shows that aesthetically appealing patterns deliver higher amount of information over multiple levels in comparison with less aesthetically appealing patterns when the same amount of energy is used. The proposed model is tested on a set of beautiful music pieces.
