The Golden Mean Project is a musical experiment in the seven Greek modes.

We are a group of neurodivergent musicians whose interests in philosophy, mathematics, science, technology, and art have found an avenue of expression through our music. We hope to inspire other neurodivergent people of all ages through this album to listen deeply to yourselves and find your own avenues of exploration of the world around you, wherever your natural curiosity and self-expression leads you throughout your lives.

The Golden Mean refers to the Fibonacci spiral, which is an infinite mathematical equation, in which each number equals the sum of the previous two numbers (i.e. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and so on), with origins in ancient India. Scientists have discovered a relationship between the Golden Mean and the Golden Spiral, a formula that is found everywhere from growing plants to spiral galaxies. It also refers to the ancient Greek maxim Meden Agan, which means “Nothing To Excess” in modern English.
