The sound of "Pi"

Beautiful Marina9! And really awesome :jawdrop: ! As Umberto Eco said: The universe is a great symphony of numerical correspondences
 
Very beautiful!!! It's amazing how numbers ordered in a certain way can make music. It would be interesting to decompose numbers and try to play them in some instrument to see what kind of melody it creates :violin:
 
Hi :D :

I'm not very fond of piano music, but this little piece sounded nice, beautiful.... :clap: :thup:
 
Very mechanic at first sight !
As if the mathematical language, translate in musical language gives an infinite random "melody".

But is indeed nice to hear, like telling a story, thank you Marina9.

And to go further, I search some of the logical following melodies :

Phi :

And Fibonacci :

Thanks Nico! After listening to the videos I shared, it reminded how music is created from mathematics, im no musician or mathematician and I may be wrong, but I remember a musician friend telling me about this. So I did some research on this topic about the connection of "Pi" with music and found this interesting article, that mentions Fibonacci's sequence in relation to music: http://www.goldennumber.net/music/

The Fibonacci series appears in the foundation of aspects of art, beauty and life. Even music has a foundation in the series, as:

There are 13 notes in the span of any note through its octave.
A scale is composed of 8 notes, of which the
5th and 3rd notes create the basic foundation of all chords, and
are based on a tone which are combination of 2 steps and 1 step from the root tone, that is the 1st note of the scale.

Note too how the piano keyboard scale of C to C above of 13 keys has 8 white keys and 5 black keys, split into groups of 3 and 2.While some might “note” that there are only 12 “notes” in the scale, if you don’t have a root and octave, a start and an end, you have no means of calculating the gradations in between, so this 13th note as the octave is essential to computing the frequencies of the other notes. The word “octave” comes from the Latin word for 8, referring to the eight tones of the complete musical scale, which in the key of C are C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C.

In a scale, the dominant note is the 5th note of the major scale, which is also the 8th note of all 13 notes that comprise the octave. This provides an added instance of Fibonacci numbers in key musical relationships. Interestingly, 8/13 is .61538, which approximates phi. What’s more, the typical three chord song in the key of A is made up of A, its Fibonacci & phi partner E, and D, to which A bears the same relationship as E does to A. This is analogous to the “A is to B as B is to C” basis for the golden section, or in this case “D is to A as A is to E.”
