The job jar is items planned for the future - can you write? Contributions wanted!
Theory
The surprising contribution of volume
Pitch seems to reign, but volume actually rules.
In music, everything, but Everything is relative
"G" is the dominant of "C", but what is C the dominant of?
Inventing the scales … from scratch, so to speak
Given the above three principles, one can deduce the major scales, minor scales and much, much more.
Pick a Vowel, pick your harmonics
Why choral directors are so totally nuts about getting the vowel right. Further consequences of these simple principles.
More to come
Minor notes / Inventing chords / why is there a "backbone" or root note? /
Minor and Major triads - the joy of tuning them well / Fitting more in: sixths, sevenths and more.
Special tunings: neglected and lost chords / The great circles of notes /
Pick your harmonics, pick your dissonances - why micro tuning is a high art

Science
You thought I was joking when I said "Music Science". No, it's not an contradiction in terms.
Perfect pitch: an hypothesis and tests
Tuning - a difficult thing to do well
Simple demonstrations of harmonics and how they mesh
Music: An understudied yet over detailed world: why is classical theory hard, the reality simple?
Music History Deduced
Much can be infered from an instrument's design
