This project's goal is to investigate the relationship between space, time, and music. An attempt is made here to briefly show how space and time are used to advantage in music and how music is modulated to create effects of space and time.

There can be two distinct approaches for conducting this type of study. One would entail selecting a specific musical form, such as rock music, Hindustani classical music, folk music, or any other, and then studying how spatial and temporal effects are created in that musical form. This would require a thorough study of that particular form of music and access to a large number of compositions in that style.

The other approach would be to keep the spectrum of music choices wide and demonstrate through various forms of music how spatial and temporal effects are achieved. The method followed here is the second, as the first necessarily requires extensive knowledge of one particular form of music. These ideas and interpretations are personal and thus highly subjective.
