Themobilestudio. Exoplanet Puzzle Cracked by Jazz Musicians. When astronomers dropped the news that nearby star TRAPPIST-1 was circled by seven planets about the size of Earth — all of which could conceivably be studied by upcoming observatories, three or more of which could have lakes and oceans on their surfaces — most of the headlines were focused on the prospect of scouring these worlds for life. Daniel Tamayo noticed something else. The clockwork of the TRAPPIST-1 system is the most complex case yet of what astrophysicists call a resonant chain, where the “years” of each orbiting body relate to one another as simple ratios. For every eight times the innermost world races through its day-and-a-half-long orbit, the next planet goes around roughly five times, the next one after that orbits three times, and the next one two times.
And so on. All this interlocking complexity fascinated Tamayo, an orbital dynamicist at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics. There’s more than one way to appreciate the results.

The connections between mathematics and music are many. For example, the differential equations of vibrating strings and surfaces help us understand harmonics and tuning systems, rhythm analysis tells us the ways a measure can be divided into beats, and the study of symmetry relates to the translations in time and pitch that occur in a fugue or canon. This video explores a less well-known connection. It turns out that musical chords naturally inhabit various topological spaces, which show all the possible paths that a composer can use to move between chords. For a thorough presentation of the ideas introduced here, suitable for both mathematicians and musicians, see “A Geometry of Music” by Dmitri Tymoczko.
The “Umbilic Torus” sculpture shown at the end of the video was created by Helaman Ferguson. Lessons. Teoría - Music Theory Web.

Stanley, the interactive player piano. Syncopations. Preface DefinitionA syncopation can best be defined as - the prolongation of a note attacked on an Off-beat to the next Beat. It is usually anticipated (attacked sooner) , but we have left a section open at the end, for cases where it is retarded (attacked later). Anticipated Syncopations One may anticipate by different amounts (note-values) and we will catalogue these amounts by the corresponding rhythmic level - a anticipation at Level -2, a anticipation at Level -3, and a anticipation at Level -4.
Level -2 In a bar (composed of a ) with the basic Melo-rhythmic pattern the third beat (the first ) can be anticipated by a , producing the pattern A kind of snapIf there is a breath after the , as is often the case, we have the same process as when a normal Feminine Rhyme is transformed into a snap. Pattern is frequently used at Level -3 with shorter note-vales, as Level -3 In a bar with the basic Melo-rhythmic pattern the first (on the second beat ) can be anticipated by an pattern, the whole Level -4 and the. In_music.gif (GIF Image, 600 × 480 pixels) The Shape of Music. Zaha Hadid/Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection Roughly 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras observed that objects, such as the anvils he purportedly studied, produced harmonious sounds while vibrating at frequencies in simple whole-number ratios. More complex ratios gave rise to more dissonant sounds, which indicated that human beings were unconsciously sensitive to mathematical relationships inherent in nature.
By showing that the world could be described mathematically, Pythagoras not only provided an important inspiration for physics, but he also discovered a particular affinity between mathematics and music—one that Gottfried Leibniz was to invoke centuries later when he described music as the “unknowing exercise of our mathematical faculties.” For a thousand years, Western musicians have endeavored to satisfy two fundamental constraints in their compositions. The first is that melodies should, in general, move by short distances. Teoría - Music Theory Web. Guitar String Name Mnemonic Acronyms | TheGuitarLesson.com. Pick of the best of a dazzling array of internet radio stations. I was recently told about an old tape of Orson Welles exploding with fury during the recording of an advert. I tried to find it online. It took less than a minute. The near infinite resources of the web are a godsend - but sometimes all that choice can leave you paralysed.
This is certainly the case with internet radio, once seen as a novelty, now a global phenomenon, with stations taking music and the spoken word where they've never been before, and all just a click away. This American Life A character in the TV series The OC described This American Life thus: "Is that that show by those hipster know-it-alls who talk about how fascinating ordinary people are?
