Is music math, or is music a chaos that people want to contain / control using math? If that's the case - learn your scales and be careful not to hit a wrong note. If that's not the case, then there is no such thing as a wrong note.
Who's counting that feels it?

Math exists in nature, and we give parts of it names. Music exists in nature, and we give parts of it names as well. The two, to me, have a lot in common, and can be mixed with totally beautiful and/or insane sonic results. This can be interpreting a series of numbers into a musical phrase, tuning an instrument to the vibrations of the earth, all sorts of things. I don't rely solely on this sort of reasoning for all of the music I write, nor do I rely solely on any other. An approach such as mixing music and math is simply one more way to pull new sounds from the world around us.
p.s. the only wrong notes I know are the ones that aren't really meant!
