There is only one note

Pitch does not exist. It is merely by random elimination of other frequencies that we arrive at what we refer to as a pitch. Therefore, only one sound exists--that of all frequencies playing together. Removing frequencies is arbitrary and meaningless.

 

 

Terje, don't get mad this time.

Why would I get mad? I really like that thought. Do you know how much hinduism there is in that? :cool:

Is this like when you turn on the light in the room, the darkness is sucked into it? As in "Hey, turn on the darkness sucker"...

Youd certainly think so given some of the over distorted absolute crap bands are coming out with these days.

You can make a flashdark if you put the batteries backwards in a flashlight.

My thinking lately is that there are infinite notes. Our 12-tone scale consists of arbitrary signposts along an endless continuum. Next stop, 'A' 440-->but what about 441--still A? At what point does it start to become kind of "sharpish?"

Food for thought.

You Scandanavians are a weird bunch. I played with a Finnish guitarist/violinist for a while. He was very good, but he had the weirdest taste in music. He didn't have your knack for weirdass musical theories, however.

What if A 440 is actually M 440 with the "M" partially erased and elongated and with an extra line?


eh? :confused:

It's actually just 440 to an observer in the same reference frame. Someone observing from a stationary point in the universe watching the Milky Way go whingin' past, doppler shifted from the velocity and all, would hear you playing an entirely different note. Maybe Ab.
