Avoision's site has some nice pieces
that tie together music, art and
science. For example the
pi10k
experiment is based on the concept of
generation music from numbers, in this
case the symbol Pi.

The concept here is quite simple -
assign pitch values to 10,000 places of
a decimal expansion, but don't worry
about rhythm. However the interesting
part lies in the idea that there exists a
greater tie between musical sound and
mathematical truth.

After all, music and sound are just a
series of interpreted air particle
frequency values. This reminds me of
a book I read by Marcus du Sautoy
called the
Music of the Primes.

Back to the avoision website and there
are a number of other interesting
experiments to check out involving
music and visualization.

We're always interested in the
intersection of sound and
mathematical or scientific realm, so if
you've got the knowledge, please
do
share!
