Comment on Math Becomes Music: What Pi Sounds Likeparent

Comments

I appreciate it for its good production value, and as an example of constrained composition. I question even the "mathiness" of it, since it's just based on a truncated decimalization of pi. If you're just looking for a quick and easy constraint to express yourself under, I suppose this is as good a constraint as any, but my main point is that, as you say, there is no aesthetic value to the piece, and definitely no true insight on mathematics or the nature of the constant known as pi.
