RE: The science behind music: an evolutionary mistake, and a human obsession

On the level of vibrations, it has to do mainly with Phi and the way our ear interprets the mathematical relationships between those frequencies. On a psychological level, who knows why we really find one chord more 'pleasant' than another. Of course this can differ between people - I'm also a fan of dissonance a lot of the time!
