Comment on Math Becomes Music: What Pi Sounds Like

Comments

Great video and a beautiful composition using very simple rules. I'd have liked to have seen more about the circle of fifths and harmonic structure though, because this is where the relationship between music and mathematics starts to get really interesting.

I don't, however, agree that this is what Pi sounds like. The composer could easily have applied any one of an incalculable number of different rules, and come up with something which sounded completely different..
