In this episode, I chat with Professor Jason Yust. Professor Yust is a music theorist and professor at Boston University whose research spans mathematical theories of rhythm and harmonic spaces, Schenkerian analysis, eighteenth-century form, music perception, and scale theory. His 2018 book Organized Time: Rhythm, Tonality, and Form received the Society for Music Theory's Wallace Berry Award in 2019, and his articles have appeared in the Journal of Music Theory, Music Theory Spectrum, Music Analysis, and the Journal of Mathematics and Music, among other journals. He is co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematics and Music and has served the Society for Music Theory in multiple capacities, including as founder and former chair of its Mathematics of Music Analysis interest group. He holds a Ph.D. in Music Theory from the University of Washington and a B.A. from Brown University.
