Listen "Microtonalities Based On Multiples Of PI"
Episode Synopsis

A note vibrates a definite number of times per second. A note one octave above vibrates at twice that amount. Understanding the maths of music is part of understanding how the universe works. A note of "A" will be found at 55 Hertz and one octave above at 110 Hertz while the note of "A" one octave below 55 Hertz will be 27.5 Hertz. Octaves double the number of Hertz. The sounds in this recording are not normal musical notes. They are octaves based on multiples of PI. Why PI? Because the structure of universe gives us PI and that same structure also gives us musical octaves. I love that feeling of beginning to understand something about the structure of the universe.
