Description
Hans Straub's MaMuTh Page:
What is "MaMuTh"?
This word, invented by Guerino Mazzola, is a shortcut for "Mathematical Music Theory" and stands for any use of mathematical methods in music theory or music generally.
If you think it is rather a prehistoric shaggy elephant and should be spelled differently, you are partly right. To see a picture of the elephant, click here. (But about the spelling, I have to insist...)
About the author
From 1984 to 1989, I studied mathematics and computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). During this time I came in contact with the amazing theories of Guerino Mazzola which fascinated me right away - one reason being the possibility to combine my profession with music, one of my great private passions. I then had the opportunity to write my thesis in this field. Nowadays it has been some years since I left the university and went into software development (the place I work is here); mathematics as well as music are now just hobbies - and not the least important effect of MaMuTh is now that it has inspired me to some of my recent musical compositions - On-To-Sū, So-Na-Ta and Asīmchōmsaia are two examples presented on this site. Concerning theory, my writings serve merely as an introduction to the subject; for current academic research I recommend the links section.

Temperament is one of those subjects that attracts a) buffs and b) incomprehensible jargon. The usual explanations start with an analaysis of the dreaded COMMA - whether Pythagorean or Syntonic - and most of us never really get past the problem of trying to work out what on earth such a thing might be....
