thanks Libeccio,
I like learning... that's about all I can say.
I was going to get to fibonacci, Phi (that is my alternate hanlde) and biology... but gotta save something for later ... after some more fractals and infinities I figured we would delve into a little quantum mechanics before making our way back here and then touch on the fibonacci/Phi relationships etc etc.
and yeah I just started... maybe almost a year ago casually teaching myself music theory... once I understood a little bit of the math side of it and the correlation between numbers and notes that fit within key it all became much easier to play and improvise... not that I am good at all
I know of a video where a physicist and a musician embed Phi all over into a metal song... once my bandwidth frees up I'll post if for you... I don't care for the song, but the way they use Phi is really really cool.
Peace,
Infinitesimal
i'll be waiting for more!
just one thing i can say now (don't wanna get boring) about math and music is: realize (you probably already know) that western music theory is an approximation of what's going on in nature. the major scale is an approximation. overtones tell us why; spectral harmony (France '70 - composers like g. grisey, t. mureil) for instance, uses the "natural" sounds. it's super interesting that the golden section works in music as well: some intervals are far more appealing for us. culture or nature?
