Music: Sound of Music, Making Music, Famous Musicians







Doodle music: A visual and musical expression of mathematical symmetry groups. The transformations done to the video are equivalent to the transformations done to the notes. These type of repeating patterns are called frieze patterns. A couple wallpaper groups are also represented.


What is up with noises? (The science and mathematics of sound, frequency, and pitch): Accuracy not guaranteed. Get Audacity and play! http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Correction: it is the "Basilar" membrane, which is what I say, but somehow between recording the script and actually drawing the stuff I got confused and thought I just pronounced my Vs poorly. Always sad to have such a simple and glaring error in something I put hundreds of hours of work into, but a "Vasilar" membrane can be the kind that a Vi draws to explain Viola Vibrations, I guess! Making up new words is just so prolightfully awstastic. Props to my Bro for excellent and creative swing pushing, and to my Mamma for filming it. Extra special thanks to my generous donators, without whom I would not have been able to create this video. Because of your support, I have the equipment, time, and take-out Thai food necessary for doing stuff like this.
