MUSIC IS MIXED TO MAKE US LIKE IT MORE!

Indiana Jones is memorable. Game of Thrones has a legendary soundtrack. I wonder if every song we hear reminds us of happy memories. Equally, I wonder if Mathematics behind the Sine Waves of a track are so precise we can now fool a listener into liking a song more because of Science. I’m planning to explore throughout my Master’s Thesis whether music is mathematically manipulated to make us like it more. Or whether it’s just talent. Are we going to listen to Queen off a barely working casette tape? Always! Would we say the same for Billie Eilish?
