We know that Music is a complex phenomenon impossible to approach from any single point of view; thus, most scientific attempts to understand music will not make justice to its amazing richness. However, this cannot prevent us from trying to explain and formalize some aspects. In this way we also contribute to its understanding and develop new tools to create and enjoy new musical artwork. This in turn can be seen as a form of further enrichment of that marvelous complexity.
