The Music Edition

Arriving · First draft written · being expanded

Pythagoras discovered that harmonious intervals correspond to simple whole-number ratios. Those same ratios appear in the overtone series, in the structure of a Bach fugue, in the Fibonacci spiral of a Radiohead song form, and in the resonant frequencies of a cathedral nave. Music is mathematics made audible. The Divinity Rule applied to the medium that proves the principles before you can see them.
