  4. `During the second century AD, Claudius #Ptolemy described a 5-limit diatonic scale in his influential text on music theory #Harmonics, which he called "intense diatonic". Given ratios of string lengths 120, 112+1/2, 100, 90, 80, 75, 66+2/3, and 60, Ptolemy quantified the tuning of what would later be called the #Phrygian scale (equivalent to the major scale beginning and ending on the third note) – 16:15, 9:8, 10:9, 9:8, 16:15, 9:8, and 10:9. `

  6. Today's random thought turned hyper-focus: what would Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sound like in all 7 modes of the major scale? So here they are in all their weirdness. As expected, Locrian (the last one) is terrifying.

    Oh and the image I made using #blender. It's a volumetric with a bunch of math nodes thrown at it.
