I make music, and I have a maths degree, and I understand this claim (e.g. harmony is ratios, rhythms are time divisions), but it’s not really actually useful. And lots of the best music does a lot of weird stuff that breaks the mathiness (e.g. microrhythms, groove, microtones, borrowed chords, etc. etc.).
