    That’s the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard… unfortunately by playing those notes aloud the secrets of the universe have torn the heavens asunder and a mega black hole has begun sucking the universe back into a single atom. We have 6 days left to live before all of creation is contained in a single point. Thanks guy, sounded great.

    Repeating π’s notes forms an ostinato – PLUS – the initial melody is embellished with other melodies created by the diminution and augmentation of note values from the original melody – EQUALS – a polyphonic composition.

    I wonder what e sounds like?; e is approximately equal to 2.71828183.

    In the mid-1990s, the University of Waterloo professor who had calculated π to the most digits gave a lecture at my university. He would have been proud.

    Could have done with out the majority of the first 34 seconds, otherwise interesting. Not good or bad, sounds a bit like the soundtrack to some commercial though.

    That was clearly in the ‘dorian mode’. I much prefer pie ‘a la mode’.

    sorry – had to do it…

    Carl Sagan would have loved this. Fits with his book Cosmos.

    Pi was solved a long time ago: 22/7.

    Too bad they don’t teach your kids fractions anymore. If they did kids wouldn’t think that pi is something magical or spiritual.

    Pi was solved a long time ago: 22/7 – Pi is 0.001264489.
    Pi is still transcendental

    And I thought Pi was a character in a barely sufferable novel…
