It's true. playing music requires addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for rhythm
composition is where it gets deeep
the way our brains interpret rhythms is directly related to the ratio of the frequencies of events between different sounds. The way we hear harmony is similarly linked to frequency ratios

If you want to hear music that's never been made just take 2 large prime numbers A and B and multiply them together. That is your time signature, then play one sound every A beats, and one every B beats. If it sounds familiar use bigger primes.

I compose experimental music and for me Music composition is about matching a feeling to a sound as accurately as possible , which is all mathematics.
