I decided on the topic of music and math because I play upright bass in the orchestra and electric bass in the jazz ensemble and being a math enthusiast, it is impossible for me not to see the mathematics and physics present in music.
The album is no longer be the dominant format of popular music. But at one point it was so common to buy full albums rather than singles that some bands even made their albums carry a narrative through the songs.
