I found it interesting to learn about why the Golden Ratio can be solidified with most of the things on Earth, such as flowers. Pythagoras' Greek Tuning also caught my attention because the whole concept was simply one note that contained overtones. I enjoyed learning about the Tuvan throat singing because it was definitely something new, acknowledging how unique music aspects can go. The way a simple movement of the mouth can change the tones at the same time, intrigues me. Lastly, what was the real purpose Pythagoras connected music with math?
What I liked about this post was how it connected math and music in a way that actually made sense. I’ve heard of the Golden Ratio before but never thought about how it could be related to music. I thought the part about octaves and the way we hear them as the “same” note, just higher or lower, was really interesting. Also, the explanation of the circle of fifths helped me understand how music is built off simple ratios and patterns.
I found it interesting how the golden ration can insert order even if it is not there. The mathematical aspects of it make it unique to me because i never thought that music could have some mathematical aspects. Also how poetry was incorporated into music, to me it makes it feel like it emphasizes the meaning of the music. I appreciate the fact that ratios are very flexible and make every piece of music unique.
It is interesting to see how pitch change happens. The throat singing was really interesting. The way he was changing the pitch and you could see how he had changed the pitch with his mouth. He would move his lips shape and sing higher or lower. Before seeing that video I never knew of that genre of music.
The mathematical relationships between frequencies and its relation to sounds and harmonies are very interesting. I didn't know about the Golden Ratio beforehand and learning the formula helped better understand the relationships between frequencies. The spiral diagram reminds me of the Fibonacci sequence.
what i found interesting was that the Archeologists have found simple flutes from about 50,000 years ago. This was from a long time ago that now we use in today music world. Another thing i learn was that the octaves the most powerful thing in the music world it could be moved up and down which make the frequency go higher or lower. I wonder if there are more then 12 notes and why 12 ?
It's interesting to know why 12 notes are the most common. The way those 12 notes are used and how they affect the sound and feel is also a cool thing I learned. I wonder if the the 12 notes sound different to different animals. Does music sound different to animals as well?
I find it interesting to learn how an octave works, especially learning about how two cords can go up and down in frequency, but not in pitch. Incredibly interesting to also see some early instruments to also better help visualize notes, showing off how people used their instruments to play notes. Was also cool to hear an example of Tuvan Throat Singing, just a really unique way of singing, one that uses overtones to create a unique sounding voice. I do want to ask, what are the lowest and highest octaves that humans can hear, and why?
I liked learning that math and music have a lot in common. I also thought that it was cool that octaves have the same pitch, but different frequencies. What's the lowest frequency of an octave that humans can hear? Do some notes paired with others sound better?
I like how notes can change the whole sound of the song. Notes can change the whole genre of the song. I do wonder why is there just a limit of 12 notes? Can more notes be invented?
It’s cool knowing that octaves can be moved up and down, which causes for a higher or a lower frequency. They all sound very similar but they are different. It’s crazy knowing that these notes that create music sound similar when played individually but when together makes a great song. Why isn’t there more than 12 notes?
I like that on different musical notes sound similar even though they are so different. Could there be more than 12 notes or is 12 the limit? I like how one note change can change the song so much.
I liked how these all come from Ancient Greece and western history, But the main thing that got my attention was the lyre. It amazes me that not a lot of people can play it. But is there a solution to being able to read their musical notation?
I still don’t quite understand what a Golden Ratio is. But I think that going back in history with well known greek instruments is critical to when it comes down to classical instruments. Greek God Apollo was known to play a lyre and I think it’s awesome that people can connect the two. And I also find the singing very fascinating!
I like that the notes on different musical insane even voices are similar yet so different. Notes can alternate and change music just by switching the notes. Why is there just a limit of 12 notes? Can there be more created?
I do quite like strings, guitars, violins, harps, all very beautiful and energetic, the history behind instruments we hear in everyday life is fascinating. Western music has 12 notes, but why the limitations? The perfect Octave and its significance were valuable takeaways, along with the concept of perfect fifths. So I must ask, what would happen if western music had fewer or more than the standard 12.
