and now the bad news: Practice may not make perfect - Ruby - 12-07-2014

Apologies for butting in, but since I brought it up initially – mathematics is inseparable from, and inherent in, many art forms (those that endure) – music, painting, architecture, things written – even cuisine. There’s a lot more to pi than meets the eye.

And it can't be said that genetics /DNA code had nothing to do with it unless he and his family/ancestors were genotyped and scientifically proved not to have it. About music being mathematics (well, arithmetic--yes, of course and Bach proved it) but math by itself is sterile-sounding and why I don't like much synthesizer stuff. BTW what exactly is synthesizer music synthesizing? Can you synthesize something that never existed in any analogue form? Or even hybridize? I believe another word or phrase is needed--"shaped artificial sound that's appreciable by humans".
