As we get more in depth in music it is clear that you can separate the music from the meaning. If you take a mathematical approach you can see that music has a natural mathematical principles. The pitch of a note is determined by frequency and you can look at the music as having natural intervals. As technology starts to transform music you begin to see an increase of mathematics and a further separation from music and meaning itself. Technology alters music in a way that Claude Shannon would support as it takes the meaning out of music and makes it more or less binary. A prime example of this is seen when sampling as it samples the song twice at two times the highest frequency humans can hear. As the digital process uses a Yes-No type frequency, it begs the question does the meaning the artist want to get across get lost?
