YouTube artist and multi-instrumentalist Michael John Blake has been exploring the musical patterns within mathematics, by assigning each note on the major scale a numeral. In this wonderful composition he plays Tau, a number used in a similar way to Pi, for calculating values of circles and whatnot.

Californian Roy Zimmerman is a satirical singer in the vein of Tom Lehrer (who endorses him). He recently released his seventh solo album, Real American, and I'm happy to say that Zimmerman has lost none of the brilliance us fans have come to expect.
The disc has 13 tracks of which 3 are spoken…

That's lovely and cool. Thanks for posting it.
First of all, tau is blasphemy against pi. http://www.thepimanifesto.com/ It's change for the sake of change. Kind of like the Office ribbon.
Second, I did this with pi years ago, converting the digits into notes on the blues scale and overlaying them on a boogie woogie bass line. With 10,000 digits. In Matlab. Sadly, I can't find the wav file, and I don't have Matlab anymore to recreate it.
Sounds like Tom is jealous.
What did they do for the digit '0' ?
