Mathemusical Conversations is an international workshop bringing together world experts and emerging scholars in and across mathematics and music, with a special focus on mathematical and computational research in music performance and composition that serve as the foundation for understanding and enabling human creativity and for future music technologies. Ancient philosophers such as Pythagoras, Leibniz, and Diderot have long drawn profound connections between mathematics and music. In the liberal arts education of medieval universities, music was considered one of the quadrivium—four mathematical science subjects taught after the foundational trivium—alongside arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy. Today, the connections between mathematics and music has renewed relevance, both philosophical because "no domain can any longer be considered and learned in isolation" (Bugliarello 2003), as well as pragmatic. The rise of computing devices and the ensuing digitization of music has led to new ways to represent, create and perform music, to study and understand it, and to make scientific discoveries as to how music is made and why. Revenue from digital music is predicted to reach USD$22.5 billion by 2017, with the Asia Pacific having a regional compound annual growth rate of 44% (Ovum 27/8/12). At the core of this digital music revolution, are mathematical and computational techniques that drive the scientific advances. Almost every subfield of mathematics—including number theory, algebraic geometry, topology, geometric analysis, probability, statistics and mathematical physics—as well as modeling technique—including optimization, stochastic systems, game theory, and network flows—has contributed to these advances in digital music research. Every step of the music process, from composition (including improvisation, a form of real-time composition) to performance, from conceptualization to perception and cognition, can be modeled and studied using mathematical and computational means. In 1999, a landmark event, the Diderot Forum on Mathematics and Music, led to a seminal book with an an opening quote by Diderot: "c'est par les nombres et non par les sens qu'il faut estimer la sublimité de la musique" (It is through numbers, rather than through the senses, that music's sublimeness can be measured). Likewise, the Mathemusical Conversations workshop celebrates the understanding of the essence of music through mathematics, and the presentations and discussions will be published in a book to serve as a reference for the state of the art in mathematics and music thinking. The program, consisting of six thematic sessions and two concerts, is designed for broad appeal not only to researchers in the mathematical music sciences, but also to mathematicians and scientists in general, to musicians interested in the formal models of music knowledge and practice, and the general public. Many mathematicians and scientists are also fine musicians. For example, the young geometer Donald Coxeter composed piano music and wrote on the parallels between composition and mathematical proof; Albert Einstein was a talented and enthusiastic violinist. At MIT, 60% of incoming freshmen declare advanced proficiency in music (usually performance), and 25% declare proficiency in other performing arts. Conversely, a number of prominent musical figures have publicly acknowledged their passion for mathematics, including the popular American classical composer Paul Schoenfield, who is a keen mathematician. Many of the plenary speakers at the conference embody both the music and mathematic fields, and some have found creative ways to combine the two. The broad objective of the workshop is to raise awareness of mathematics, music, and the mathematical music fields in Singapore, the region, and beyond.
