```My name is Philip Dorrell. I currently work as a software development contractor. Although my only formal qualification is a B.Sc (mathematics) from the University of Waikato, New Zealand, I have always had an interest in the fields of science, mathematics, and various other fields not commonly thought of as being scientific or mathematical, but I prefer to approach them that way anyway.

My current email address can be found at http://thinkinghard.com/email.html.

I have a personal website at http://thinkinghard.com/, which contains articles on various subjects and also some items of software I have written.```

I'm not sure I would call the author a music scientist given a lack of formal grounding or experience in music theory, composition, and performance. This kind of conjecture is completely devoid of the context of the history of music which in many ways is the history of language and art. What makes art pleasing to consume is highly contextual and not really something that can be reduced to context free grammar.
