palindromes and equations

plaster · Post by **plaster** » Sun Dec 19, 2004 4:50 pm

i've been trying to figure out how to make music using certain equations,but nothing so far.
the internet doesn't have and info about that,so i'm thinking that some of you might know.

and how about audio palindromes...the term when you have a reversed vocal saying exactly the same as in normal stage.

the track Ais to B as B is to C is made using an simple equation...anyone knows which one?

I read something a while back that said A is to B as B is to C has some audio palindromes in it.

Supposedly they are "We love you all", and "I've been gone about a week"
These don't seem to me to be the same in reverse as forwards though. Don't really see how these are palindromes.

As for the equation, A is to B as B is to C is the relationship used to calculate the golden ratio (1.618), and is also a feature of some Euclidean hypothesis about prime numbers.

i know that,but how do you inplement that in music?

that's what i'm trying to figure out...

i think i still have alink to audio palindromes page... http://www.palindromelist.com/

You probably already implement it in music without realising it!

The Golden Number/Ratio (aka Phi) is inherent in the Fibonacci sequence, which also appears to feature in musical scales :

"A is to B as B is to C" is not really an equation though - it is more of a proportional relationship, e.g. :

This probably doesn't answer your question, but I don't really see how to use this in music (apart from how it is already used in scales), apart from relating 2 aspects of your music using this ratio - for example, make each note length (in say seconds, or beats) equal to 1.618 times the frequency of the note. Probably wouldn't sound very rhythmic though.

well,yeah i might have...

i was searching online for some fractal music programs and i stumbled upon this site where one girl did music with math equations and sh posted midi files of it.
sounds very interresting to hear....some melodies are very pleasant.

well,i found this fractal music program,but i don't know how to make music with it,so i'll wait for a friend to explain when he's back from holidays.

hello,
well all that is very interesting
that's really something i would like to understand once.
i heard about a composer called Ton Johnson who make music with maths : like cosinus for piano
well bye
