Every dyad on the piano in increasing order of the difference in frequency between the two notes

On June 1 I'll play a tone with a duration equal in seconds to the number of postcards I receive with the message "Add one second to your performance"

Once again we must ask, where in the world is Congress? They should be pursuing every action possible to rein in Trump's raging lunacy. How is there no sense of urgency? (2/3)

Carlo Graziani: "hold my beer"

Bohuslav Martinu FTW

CPE Bach score with the tempo marking "poco andante"

CPE Bach, agent of chaos, adds more confusion

Is andantino slower or faster than andante?

Seems like he must have had some kind of algorithm for writing these. But if I can't figure it out, I'm going full Xenakis for Book 2.

I'm on it

I don't often post a work-in-progress, but I'm working on making a web-based catalogue of Christoph Graupner's 5626 four-part canons on the same theme.

Any feedback to help guide the project would be lovely.

I'm working on a piece that is sort of a game... (works best with good speakers)

500 cardboard portraits is a series of faces which are cut or torn into corrugated board but these are pencil drawings.

Sometimes cute, sometimes frightening but they all capture an emotion & technically they're amazing.

Individual holes and gaps in paving, tarmac and tiles that have been filled with perfectly fitting salami, a sandwich, a packet of biscuits and a packet of pasta.

Existing gaps closed with supermarket products. More genius here instagram.com/helmutsmits

The distribution of letters in English words.

Possessive "its" should have an apostrophe and 100 - 200 CE should be called the "first century"

A melody in which the ratios of the number of vibrations in each pitch are the same as the ratios of the number of letters in each word of this sentence.

This game is completely amazing rose.systems/animalist/

I love the fermata. Kind of a "some of us are better at this than others" indicator.

There's not a reason supplied in the text. Maybe he had a strong feeling about the tempo of adagio and felt he could sustain one bow for 12 beats and then a bit more? Or perhaps it comes from an example in the repertoire? It's a good puzzle though!

Sadly I am not yet advanced enough to understand...

I'm making a catalogue of historical re-tunings of the violin:

Send me a note if you know of others?

The oldest single-note piece I've found so far (1834). From "L'art du violon" by Pierre Baillot.

I'm loving "ending.beginning.interludes" by Aaron Lockhart. Here's the second track:

Battle it out with over 60 selectable fighters from across the Dostoevskyverse

Today's violin meditation: a 1008-second tone that bends up one whole step and then back down, in such a way that it forms the top of a 100-pitch 1-hour circle on a pitch/time grid.

A tone (147 1421/3600 Hz, when A=442 Hz), tunable by ear on the viola, which, when sustained, has a unique phase during each second of an hour

I'm working on a catalogue of written-out parts for change ringing on handbells, designed for people who want to enjoy
the musical richness of change ringing without the obstacle
of having to memorize each pattern. I'll keep adding more here:
