You know how people like to discuss the idea that it's possible we all experience colour differently? Like if you and I were to look at something green we'd both say it's green because we've always been taught that that colour is green; but it's entirely possible the colour each of us sees in our mind is entirely different. Do you think that would be possible with music? Or sound in general? Like, that there could be fundamental differences in the way that we consciously experience sound? And if that were the case could those differences affect our experience of music?

Weirdly my personal instinct is actually to say no but I can't fully reason why

Do you think there are any parallels between music theory and game design? Like for example, could you space/write music notation in a way that would make it easier to process or play? In a similar way to how you can design levels to place certain objects/enemies to guide your eye or change how a level feels or the player understands it.

What are your thoughts on xenharmonic music?

Backbeat. Why is that essential to jazz? Is it? What if jazz was focused on the opposite beat?

Can you explain neo-Riemannian theory?

I don't know much about music theory (which is really the only reason I haven't contributed to this list, but I've enjoyed reading it), so forgive me if this is an overly simple question. but, given you're going to listen to the new Taylor Swift album, I'm curious what sort of things you tend to listen for and analyse when you hear something for the first time - whether that's from deliberately looking for it, or they're things that just naturally stand out because you're well acquainted with music theory.

also, do you have examples of any songs or albums or artists that aren't your chosen type of music but are great from a music theory perspective? meaning, ones you really respect technically despite not being something you enjoy listening to for pleasure?

What differences in music theory exist across different cultures? Are the models used to describe music broadly the same, but with normative disagreements on which elements are effectively used for which purposes?

I'd assume that different people have a wide variety in associations with certain melodies, chord progressions, etc. so the viability of goals of your piece will heavily depend on the audience.

What is your favourite key and why?
