The Connection Between Music and Numbers 

The company I have worked with for nearly 30 years employs dozens of very good financial analysts. Some of them are technical. Some are fundamental. Some follow trends. Some follow momentum. And some follow large, macro-economic events.

One thing that has struck me is that many of them are keenly interested in music. It’s generally known that there is a relationship between music and numbers, and maybe that explains this. If it does, one would think that there is a common denominator in the music they like. But there is none. The range is wide and the preferences diverse.

When they talk about their preferences, I am always interested in the music they love that I don’t even know.

Here, Garrett Baldwin, one of my new favorite analysts, writes about some of his favorites.
