Geometry and Music
Purnaprajna Bangere, University of Kansas
It has long been known that there is a deep connection between Mathematics and Music. In this talk, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system”; a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. Metaraga system’s mathematical under pinning lies in category theoretic algebraic geometry, and Grothendieck like topologies. The dictionary that is set up is both ways; music from math and math from music. This power point presentation will contain both audio and visual elements to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned above
