Pi as music
February 29, 2008 8:29pm
I tried a few combinations then found this one.
(lower case = the lower octave = keys to the left)
(UPPER CASE = the next octave up = keys further right)
c C e E f F g G a A
This, assuming mapping starts at 0 gives the even numbers to the lower octave and the odd numbers to the higher octave and sounds very tuneful in places.
Does anyone have a link to a graph of the frequency of occurrence of digits in pi(to 10,000 places say)? Just by listening, I think there are more even numbers.

Disemvowelling is intended to deprecate the text in question, keep passers-by from automatically reading it, be legible to those who are willing to put some work into it, and instruct onlookers about what is and isn't valued in this forum."
Teresa, to stop the casual reader mistaking moderation for server error, maybe when a comment is disemvouled, it could also be tagged with:
"Disemvouled by a moderator" at the beginning. You could even have 'Disemvouled' linked to wiki or some other explanation of Boing Boing policy
Up until now, I thought it was either a server error or a paranoid technique used by the commenter to disrupt searches by NSA and such.

What is most revealing is the segment for 'Juno.' Most of the other segments spike quickly and then trail away at varying speeds to nothing.
Juno spiked very slowly and then found a steady trail and still remains the most significant band at the end of the graph.
I wouldn't be surprised if it gets up again in the next holiday season.
I wonder if the amount of money spent marketing a movie could be overlaid in a meaningful way.
