In Life of Pi music may no be clearly stated or present in the text however because the setting is in the ocean for the most part we can make our own soundtrack. The journey can correlate with many songs as he is struggling to survive and all on his own but more than that its almost as if the sounds of the sea are present, and hearing the presence of the animals on board. Music helps your mind paint a picture of whats going on and is a creative way to get at a theme.
Many people use music as a way to find themselves in society today. Maybe at times its the only way that they can feel connected to the world - through someone elses words which may not even be the truth. Through music people are able to tackle and struggles that they have when there alone because the words help them be strong. By putting music to the ocean and the book is apparent that it could go hand in hand with Pi's struggle and his steps to survival. Music is a way to find the true you and what you realize what you are capable of achieving on your own.
