Pi Music

 

    
I recently listened to an episode of Numberphile which featured data visualization guru Martin Krzywinski and composer Gregory Coles who composed music based on the mathematical constant, pi. I highly recommend listening to this episode: (66) The First and Last Digits of Pi - Numberphile Podcast - YouTube.

Some readers may be confused about the title including "...last digits of Pi." As a clarification, these last digits are based on the latest computation of Pi at the time of the composition. This was the 62.8 trillion digit computation of Pi.
