What Pi Sounds Like

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bleep-bleep-bloop dept.

I've always loved generative music, and this guy used Pi as the basis for his composition. I'm not saying it's as good as Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber or something, but it's a great way to get ready for Pi day which is tragically still not a federal holiday. Write your congressman.

    I always thought Pi sounded more like this. But then I used to be on YTMND.

  3. Any random numbers would produce the same result by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Any random notes from a clearly defined scale (e.g. C major) paired with triadic chords from the same scale will sound vaguely pleasant.
    Thus, this is not "what PI" sounds like as much as it's what C major sounds like.

  4. Pi is wrong. by pipatron · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Stop being silly. Perhaps after reading this, you will understand why it's simply retarded to even mention pi: http://tauday.com/
