A02. Minimal Information Content
Read more: A02. Minimal Information ContentThere is not a whole lot to say about this chromatic scale. – There are 12 steps (of theoretically, but not practically, equal distance) – After 12 steps the scale repeats, with every step doubling in frequency (this is called an octave) Alternatively, this could also just be expressed as a string of consecutive numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 (octave 1) 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (octave 2)…

A01. The Chromatic Substrate
Read more: A01. The Chromatic SubstrateWe are using the 12 note chromatic scale as the basic substrate for our exploration of music theory and its possible parallels with the fabric of reality. Above the twelve steps with sound frequencies above each step (or “station”). The Chromatic Scale normally used in modern Western music has a pretty clear definition. “Our” chromatic scale has 12 pitches of increasing frequency. For now we call these pitches 1, 2, 3,…..12. After step 12 the scale repeats, but every pitch/note will have a…

Only after the physical aspect got a little easier and more second nature, did music theory come in the mix. At first it was learning about various chords that somehow belong together. At some point the need to improvise a melody arose. You use a scale, or two, or three. Then…

Rounding Errors
Read more: Rounding ErrorsFor as long as I can remember one of my most favorite pastimes has been thinking about god, the universe and everything. Half of the books I read deal with this subject one way or another (the other half is Science Fiction, which often deals with the very same topics). In the past few years there has been a quickening of ideas on various subjects. Probably helped along by the fact that we have a little dog in the house since 2014, who…
