I have an occassional side interest in the psychology of music. The psychoacoustic approach derives originally from Plato who considered both music and mathematics to be a description of reality. Others, deriving from Hilbert, consider music to be a pattern of conventions and, deriving from Chomsky, that music is a mental grammatical language.
My bias towards the Platonic orientation also means I derive great musical pleasure from natural sounds.
