My name is Philip Dorrell. I currently work as a software development contractor (when I am not working on my book). Although my only formal qualification is a B.Sc (mathematics) from the University of Waikato, New Zealand, I have always had an interest in the fields of science, mathematics, and various other fields not commonly thought of as being scientific or mathematical, but I prefer to approach them that way anyway.

If you wish to contact me by email to discuss my book (or anything else), I have an email address "whatismusic" followed by "@" followed by 1729.com. (This is not given as a mailto link, to reduce spam.)

Feel free to email me to do any of the following:

• Ask questions about the theory explained in my book "What is Music?: Solving a Scientific Mystery"
• Point out errors in the book or make suggestions for improvement.
• Suggest links that I can add to my list of music science links.
• Tell me how much you liked the book (or even the preview).

I have a personal website at http://www.1729.com/, which contains articles on various subjects and also some items of software I have written.
