What if we could somehow chart the number of times people said "what the fuck?" It could be broken up by age, gender, location, time of day it was said, etc.
Statistical sound!

I would suppose that this would be limited to places where the majority speak English. :erm:

Not necessarily. My ESL middle-school students in Japan never seemed to tire of saying it ... "Teecha ... faak yu. Wat za faak." :erg:

2) Wolfram Tones is shit
Yeah I've played with it a bit more and it's not much more rewarding than the musicalalgorithms link posted earlier in this thread. But still I feel like cellular automata have huge potential for interpretation, particularly the class-4 automata (like rule 110 shewn below) which straddle the line between periodic and chaotic behavior. I'd like to try using it where each column refers to a single sample or loop, that's played whenever it's black and not played whenever it's white. And I guess to avoid having 200+ samples being played at once there could be some sort of cutoff, i.e. columns 1-16 are samples, columns 17-32 controls the pan of 1-16, columns 33-48 control the playback speed of 1-16, etc for however long you run it or however many parameters you can think of. I feel like this would yield some melodic patterns half-way inbetween repetition and random, or get magnified (i.e. the bigger spaceships), or it could be nonsense.

You know the earth resonates at approx. 6 octaves below "LOW C" on a standard 88 key piano (or 7.83Hz. with the highest recorded frequency being 45Hz) and this resonance has a massive impact on the growth of plant life, and with the rate of the earth resonance increasing through the years it makes me wonder what kind of changes we'll see throughout the next few generations...
Everything throughout the universe has a resonating frequency, and as well everything is affected by vibrations. Human’s bones grow at a certain rate according to the projected frequency of the earth, and this is how they develop a resonating frequency. There is an experiment that you can do to find out the resonating frequency of your cranium. Use an instrument such as a xylophone, or piano, Hit every key from bottom to top, which ever key sounds the loudest it tuned to the resonating frequency of your cranium. There will also be half-tones that sound louder, though they might not be the loudest.
I suppose this is why the key of C is the most commonly used key for simple songs and children’s songs. If the earth is generating a frequency at C 6 octaves below low C on a piano, then perhaps our bones grow to this frequency so whenever the specific frequency is projected through our bodies, our bones react and vibrate comfortably giving us the feeling that this specific frequency of tone is the best to use in songs, or we simply just grow a liking to it.
Similarly with trees, when the specific frequency is generated and projected through them, they react and resonate causing them to grow easier making a taller tree. Well I don't know how accurate this is... it's just based on old memory...
As far as a tree generating sound its self, I would assume that anything that moves to grow would generate a frequency. Obviously it would be WAY too low of a frequency to be audible to the human ear, but if we could measure the growth of the tree and maybe compare it with the earth generated frequency to see how the earth has affected its growth, that might help us to determine the frequency of which the tree generates.
Actually reading over that last paragraph makes me realize that it would be nothing like that... To measure the generated frequency we would have to understand how the earth forms a resonating frequency into something growing. Obviously not EVERYTHING has the same resonating frequency, so there must be a system that we do not understand. If we could understand this, we could better determine what frequency a growing plant might generate in relation to its resonance.
I don't know if any of that made sense, I'm trying to type while listening to my brother play a loud on the guitar and singing and it makes it hard to concentrate. "Through the Fire and Flames - Dragon Force"

Unless you're a robot you'll never be able to play each note at the same amplitude. At any rate the ear is more sensitive to (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour) some frequencies rather than others, and so this experiment will just give you an idea which range of frequencies your
ear canal resonates at.

Oh wow, I guess that was wrong... I heard it from a sound engineer that used to work in a music shop here... He was showing it to me with a xylophone... He said it's your actual cranium vibrating... Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait yet for the later day when I can say something interesting and be right...

Dragon Force are shit man, they cant play any of that stuff live, also while your key of c thing sounds nice it doesnt explain half of the music in the world that has nothing to do with diatonic theory.

As I agree with you completley about Dragon Force, I started the statement with 'I suppose' for the reason that it was all my mindless ramblings. No facts. It just made sense to me at the time. Damn Dragon Force, messing with my mind...
