Encoding the Fibonacci Sequence Into Music

[@nembobuldrini]

As another guy mentioned down the line, the beauty of the composition is due to the harmonization + structure added by the player. It would probably work with random numbers as well. So it is human interpretation which renders it enjoyable. It would be interesting to have it generated *completely* algorithmically (melody+harmonization+rhythm) and see if it still would sound so great!

[@XenophonSoulis]

Thanks, Mr. Obvious. π, as well as the Fibonacci sequence have a lot of Mathematical properties, but they don't have musical properties.

[@tinottt1]

My understanding is, the more mathematical a composition gets the less likely it sounds like music to the average human listener.

[@jennabarton433]

I generated notes and chords using the Fibonacci sequence randomly when I was studying my computer science degree. It is much like any computer generated music and sounds.. Computer generated; quite random. The piece in this video sounds good but it's a human interpretation using the numbers in a way that fits Western composition rules. For example he has played larger numbers by sequencing the individual integers rather than playing those integers as a chord... Which would have sounded discordant and muddy but is what a computer would do unless you gave it additional rules to split those numbers into something more palatable to our musical sensibilities.

Music is based on maths, specifically the intervals between notes; simple ratios sound nice to the human brain.

However, it still sounds good because it's in key. I'll prove it, with your left hand hold down C, E and G. Now with your right hand, press any white note you like, it doesn't matter which one, they will all sound good. You've just learnt the chord of C, in the key of C with the scale of C.

[@davidjohnston710]

Fibonacci, as well as Mandelbrot Fractals, Pi, repeating decimals, are all instances of calculations that are the result of multiple iterations, sometimes never reaching a conclusion with a definable whole number unit. Prime numbers are interesting because they fit a specific limitation of division, not divisible by other numbers than itself or one. In either case, there is a hint of something infinite on their characteristics. The iterations could continue as long into the future as we have time to look, and the same for discovering prime numbers.

Last night, I had a dream that Animusic 3 had a secret special teaser, and aSongScout posted a piano version of it, but he ruined the whole surprise because it had not been released to the public yet. Also, he had posted it on his aGameScout channel, which made no sense and made me sad because I had wished that his aSongScout channel would see the light again, and not only that, but in the end, it wouldn't be perfect and he would have to reupload a new version to the channel again! Then I met Wayne Lytle, who rudely walked away after saying hi for a few seconds, and Dave Crognale, who stayed longer, but I still didn't seem to get to talk to him in the entirety.

[@solargreg1]

This is a beautiful piece of music, but I agree with other commenters who have said it only sounds good because it started with a major scale, which is already pre-selected to contain notes that harmonize. It has half-steps and whole-steps, so the proportionality of pitches and intervals is not the same as for natural numbers. You've assigned the distance from 0 to 1 is a half-step, but your distance from 1 to 2 is a whole step. So the relationship of pitch intervals to each other is not proportional to a Fibonacci sequence. To hear what a Fibonacci sequence sounds like in the audio domain, you need to use a full chromatic scale. Assign each half-step to equal the quantity of 1. Start a Fibonacci sequence in a very low octave, because you'll need a lot of high notes. On a piano, you'll only be able to explore the sequence up to the number 88. The first several numbers fit inside the first octave (0 1 1 2 3 5 8) , then you have 13 21 in the second octave, 34 in the third octave, 55 is in the 5th octave, and 89 (frustratingly) wont even fit on the piano, unless you have some kind of digital programmable thing. The next one, 144, im not sure, but i think is out of the range Given that human hearing is only about 9 or 10 octaves wide, the sequence will rapidly expand beyond human hearing. I tried this sequence on a guitar, and it produces a mildly consonant series at first, increasingly dissonant above 13. However, I think it should be possible for someone more creative than me to compose a piece that sounds interesting using this kind of scale. If you ever try this, I'd be very interested to hear what you come up with.

[@ThisReckless]

But how do you solve the 0+0=1

[@solargreg1]

@@ThisReckless Good question. A sequence does not necessarily have to start from 0, it can have some pre-defined starting point. The classic Fibonacci sequence is arbitrarily defined to start from O and 1. Otherwise, if it started from 0 and 0, it would simply repeat zero's forever, which is not very interesting. You can also create Fibonacci sequences starting with any two numbers you want, and see what the sequence produces. Try negative numbers, fractions, or irrationals. This is not necessarily musical, its just fun math.
