Jason Yust is Assistant Professor of Music Theory at Boston University. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, he received a BA in Music at Brown University and a PhD in Music Theory from the University of Washington. His research interests include mathematical theories of harmonic space; metrical, tonal, and formal structure in tonal music; and music perception and cognition.
Organized Time is the first attempt to unite theories of harmony, rhythm, and form under a common idea of structured time. This is a major advance in the field of music theory, leading to new theoretical approaches to topics such as closure, hypermeter, and formal function.
