OK, here she comes again with a weird ass question...
I don't know if anyone is into geometry and maths...but if you are you are, then you will probably know about the golden mean/ratio. I guess I describe it as being the perfect geometric proportion for ultimate aesthetic pleasure. The golden mean is regularly found in nature, and that is what interests me most of all, but it can, and has been, found in the arts; architecture, painting, etc.
I only know about the ratio in the sense of the equation in algebra/geometry, and from seeing it applied visually to the world around me. But I've never really considered it in a musical sense.
It must surely apply to music too though? My music knowledge is limited...so if you can explain or know anything about how the ratio might apply in music (in laymen terms) it would be greatly appreciated. Any info or articles you might be able to point me to on the subject, I'd be really grateful, and more than happy to read for myself.
