Step One: Assign musical notes to the ten single-digit integers.
Step Two: Play the first 10,000 digits of pi.
Step Three: Profit.
I listened to this for much longer than it probably deserved.

TrackBackThere's supposed to be 6 notes or so that, played in any order with a nice C, F, G chord progression, will sound really bluesy. I think I got most of them, and got a nice boogie-woogie sound.

Thank you, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Posted by: froz gobo at December 23, 2004 11:07 PME minor 9, or E minor 7 with an added 2d, however you want to look at, works well. Use both octaves and put the third on the top. There seem to be a lot of 1,2 combinations, so if you put the 2d (or ninth, since it's a 7th chord) on integer 2, the E minor tonality is clear, but with a cool dissonance.
Posted by: shoveldog at December 23, 2004 11:28 PMNice. And putting the third up an octave, establishing the minor mode on a high note, qualifies the melancholy in an interesting way. Digit 8 comes kind of late in pi and I used the third with that digit to draw out the inconclusivity.
I'm much fonder of d, though; aeolian (I think - b6 AND b7). It's my favorite key.
