Hypothetically of course ... so no need for anyone to get on their high horses! I've sort of come to the conclusion that he/she is one or the other. It's basically two ancient ways of communicating that have some sort of structure to it.
Or according to 5-element theory (Yin/Yang) it would be the two with a bith of both in each.
The spoken word can nowhere reach near the emotional experience that the musically accompanied spoken word reaches. (i know very little on harmonics, ancient chinese medical texts states that for organs are tuned to the tones of the pentatonic scale.) Neither can it (spoken word) explain the complexities of mathemathics without going into some almost archaic world where rules are almost like the rules that govern the physical world itself.
So ...?
Musician ...
Mathematician ...
or a bith of both with a bit of both in each?
Answers on a postcard if you please :-)

God is actually both. According to Plato's Timaeus which is the root of alchemy and Western Occult, the Creator of the universe uses simple building blocks that are attached to him by invisible strings. The vibration of the strings defines what matter is created in the universe he projects and make a sort of melody that was referred to as the Music of the Spheres by the ancient Greeks.

Hypothetically of course... I'll have to entertain the idea that we are talking about something that supposedly created the world (which would mean he's got plenty of ability). Considering also that this deity would have had plenty of time on his hands from both before and after the world was 'created', then it is likely that both music and maths would have flourished. But the whole concept of god supposes that he is all-knowing, so he wouldn't have had to learn his subjects - he'd have already known them. You may have guessed that I'm not a believer in something that can apparently do instant logarithms and play every instrument, especially when it's taken me most of my life to learn just two. So I'm sure the 'christian' answer would be that he can do absolutely everything perfectly. My realistic answer would be that it's all just wishful thinking.

Both... God is super mathematician. His calculation has never gone or will go wrong. Look around you the Sun,the Moon, the seasons and other movements have never erred even a microscopic division of second. If any body meddle with his calculations he will be doomed. He is a silent Musician par excellence. There is music and art every one of his creation, which reaches you direct through the sense organs created by him. There is beauty and Harmony in all His creations around us. Nothing in His creation is ugly. Thank you God for every thing.

Lord Krishna is good in everything, He is the best in everything.
Particularly, He likes to play His flute a lot. He carries 2 Flutes, one small an another bigger everywhere He goes. With those flutes He enchants the Gopis's (His lovers) hearts. When He talks it is like a music itself, because it is extremely sweet, have rhyme and , melody.

Music is a form of math. It is math through sound. Math is simply a numerical way to express something. Movement, sports, and dance can be described through physics, which is just math too. You don't have to be able to crunch numbers to play music, sports, or dance, but all of it can be described with mathematics.

Both. Look into "sacred geometry" and the sound current ("music of the spheres") the audible lifestream ... and you'll agree!
Both are ways God communicates with us ... "for those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear."

It makes no difference to me whatever God is, as I'm useless at maths and can't sing for ****.

musicians, mathematically the universe is not precise at all. music is beautiful and mathematics are not. the world is beautiful, go figure.
