Half of music theory is just signal processing in disguise accidentally discovered by artists instead of engineers. I shit you not, having studied some basic signal processing in the uni gives me a much better insight into music.
@newt I think part of why I've struggled to get into music theory is because it sort of feels like physics but filtered through a language I don't understand that makes things feel weird and arbitrary
Need a course in music theory specifically for engineers

@scathach maybe this is a good idea for a book. Quick googling gave this, which might be interesting.

I'd recommend Musimatics by Gareth Loy: https://www.amazon.com/Musimathics-Mathematical-Foundations-Music-1/dp/0262122820
I own both volumes, but I've never touched the second one — I don't think it gets worse after the first, it starts with the basics, but advances quickly and covers a very broad range of topics associated with music.

@m0xee @scathach oh thanks! I'll check it out.
