Mandala (A Musical Palindrome), by Daniel Starr-Tambor

[songmakersinger]

I really hope this goes on Itunes, I could listen to this all day. :)

Aleatoric Minimalism + Science = COOLEST SONG EVER WRITTEN

[robertanthonyfarrell]

Very interesting indeed, and not at all unpleasant. But you may benefit from learning the difference between "its" the possessive pronoun and "it's" the contraction - you used "it's" instead of "its" twice and it must have made at least one person other than myself sad. This is my only criticism. :)

@robertanthonyfarrell

Its been noted :)

The music of the spheres.

[mcolomy]

This was absolutely fascinating.. You would love The Book of 528.. namaste`

[tpoisot]

This is brilliant.

[gamemastermatt]

got this whole song on my mp3 player

[Catcherintherye11111]

the part about bach was beauty i guess he placed his essence in his music, now i want to hear the sound of the universe!

[375mnaylor]

Nice! Can you make the full version available on CD?

[Your2ndPlanB]

Even if I had to listen to the entire piece (the 532.25 septendecillion years),

I would'nt grow bored with it.

[AnimeJack231]

Simply amazing. If there could be an MP3 created from this, it would be amazing.

[BrianTheMagicGuy]

This is brilliant. Thank you.

[chsfrnc]

Thank you science.memebase

[chsfrnc]

HOW TO DO THIS!!!?

[Yamisquall]

Wait, you're counting Pluto "as" a planet?

[KyosBlog]

Idea: great, having us read handwritten signs for 4 minutes with explanation: WHY???

[nativefoot]

Daniel, do not remove this!!

[nativefoot]

Brilliant

[jimgraham100]

Totally amazing! (And what a catchy tune; hope I don't get tired of it after a few billion years).

[rankore]

Thumbs up those who are not awaiting the inevitable dubstep-remix.

[raimalarter]

This is wonderful, so interesting but also totally mesmerizing musically. Do you have a longer version? It would be great to have this go on for 20 minutes or so.

[starrtambor]

@raimalarter Thank you!

I have a little over hour recorded (the amount of time for 10 revolutions of Pluto as well as the data limit of a CD). I listen to it with a sample of Tibetan monks chanting, but until I get copyright permission for that, I can't share it. I put the first and last 7 minutes, as well as the middle 14 minutes on Google Music... they don't allow uploads of more than 15 minutes, but I'm working to see if iTunes does.

[W4bbit]

Awesome!

[sanguinesadie]

You are magnificently original...impressive and borderline, if not complete, genius. Can't wait to hear more!

[michaelkeselman]

genius

[n03m1]

[nativefoot]

Brilliant

[bearsmanmics]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[astroanu2004]

[AlmightyshO]

WOW.... I'm impressed...

[theghostoutside]

Drawing (Not to Scale) hahaha.

Man, this is awesome (Y).

[Cambria399]

Fantastic! Love it...Do you take requests? Play 55 Cancri!

[NicoleSlaunwhite]

I love this <3

[SchumiUCD]

Is that Pluto at 2:01?

[Jamie756u]

@SchumiUCD No, 2:01 is Uranus. 3:21 is Pluto.

[ThePouceGoose]

@SchumiUCD That's an A, so on 1:07 it would be the third from the bottom, possibly Uranus.

[mymusicthingy]

@SchumiUCD No, I don't think Pluto appears until 3:21

[peternummer14]

Awaiting the inevitable dubstep-remix :P

[andrewwowk]

Who on Earth disliked this?!

[QGrochala]

Read about this on brain pickings. Was so smooth I fell asleep before I could finish reading the article.

[ricardofernandespt]

"drum" as in the musical instrument is "bateria" (the complete instrument-set) or "tambor" (a single instrument as the "drum kick" in the set)

[paineite]

profound and wonderful. Thank you. 

[xuZoom]

great work !



[Descalabro]

I'm glad this sounds good, otherwise it would be just another experience. I hope this is some sort of academic project so you can get deserved recognition. Hey, another curious fact: your last name is Tambor, which is the portuguese word for "drum". :D

[baynative]

hav you heard of love528 dot org i wonder wat it would sound like if your piano was tuned to this frequency...waaaay cool thank you

[jpsalsman]

It's got a beat, but I can't dance to it.

[organicearthful]

I don't think youtube will let you upload something that long!

[freakimonki101]

this is so freaking cool! and the music is so soothing!

[WGBraves24]

Why does this not have many views?! I'm spreading this video.

[overshee]

Where can I get more?

[RockingJoeV6]

way to much math for me but sick concept. just gotta say dan the snowflakes building at the bottom makes it hard to read towards the end. happy new year! im giving u about 5 years or so to create one involving the galaxies to make an even longer one!

[patricktheok]

Where M is Mandala and N is a note or a palindromic sequence of notes, NMN is a longer palindrome.

[andrewwowk]

@patricktheok True, but until someone makes it NMN, this is the longest palindrome ever created.

[zevtambor]

for a very meditative and thoughtful experience, give this a listen. Imagine if music could resonate with the rhythm of your heart.
