fibinacci numbers by Ken Nordine

[Mr1coolguy2]

Dude...hit spell check for god's sake

[josiahsixkiller]

Fibonnaci Numbers are widely used to trade the stock and options markets.

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

Hahahahaha... I was going to say something nice then I saw the last comment was 'you are weird'... oh dear... Well, I suppose 'weird' isn't a pejorative at least...

[craxclimber]

you are weird.

[idic5]

Nicely edited and gets across a great idea in an entertaining way. LIke the use of the harpsichord.

[mitternacht07]

those voices are cool...

[f0xmuld3r]

Pff its Fibonacci morons!

[MrAggroShiva]

1+2=3+2=5+3=8+5=13+8=21+13=34+­21=55

[kennordine]

Thinking is the curious key that opens the doors to wonder and awe.

[pontepolentepontepi]

Beautiful :-)))

[LoraIaurora]

@pontepolentepontepi I am glad you featured this video on your page caro Maestro Luix.:) Beautiful!!!!

[kennordine]

should be two ones in the animation, Have to imagine the one that isn't there, so

one can be added top one at the begining.

Ab does one voice, Stract does the other.

@TheAnimeGirl15 7 23 7 Johannes 23

JA, DIE KONTOAUSZÜGE wegschmeiSSen aber die LIEBESBRIEFE behalten !!! this is really a very good idea !!! fuck bankstatements SCHEISS KONTOAUSZÜGE !!!!

W 23 NUMEROLOGY RULEZ :o) John 7:23 :o) lol ha ha ha !!!

[hairymarx]

I remember late Alexis Korner played 'Flesh' and a GTO's song as a segway when DJing for the BBC back in the early 1980s. This was my introduction to Ken's work and I have been a fan ever since. Sadly, I missed his performance at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall sometime ago.

[majik725]

who is the guy talking in this video? he sounds so entrancing, no homo.

[iseeRedpeople1]

Nm I messed up at 500

[iseeRedpeople1]

1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 500 877 1377 2154 notice the pattern 1)44 2)33 3)77 5)00 8)77 13)77 21)54

[MamselleChaos]

@iseeRedpeople1

233 + 377 = 610

[eklipzer]

@MamselleChaos

interesting how you just add the result to the previous number to get the next number in the sequence. I was doing it on the side and had 610 and I saw the 500 in Redpeople's comment and threw me off for a second until I saw your correction.

[auropepo]

@iseeRedpeople1 No se que hiciste, pero despues del 377 viene el 610.

[Zeredek]

His calm voice combined with the music is making me insane.

[kennordine]

The music behind fibonacci was something free form effort influenced by JS Bach

done in ProTools

[wan2773]

@kennordine Who did the voice? Did you record the two personas and used some effect(what is it?) on the second one?(eg. voice in a large room effect in southbooth)

[Ironjagg]

pls tell me the background music

[davill93]

[younghippo]

if i had a voice like that id talk to myself way more often

[santibarion]

Please please, guys, do not take this the wrong way, but it's Fibonacci and not Fibinnacci. I felt that I had to put this straight oly because Fibonacci was an amazing guy and people should know more about him. Anyway, Ken cool as ever!

[Xalimdor]

Amazing voice. Are there more videos like this?

[iacthulu]

click on the channel, he's great

[Scix]

Loved Word Jazz. Stoked to hear that voice again.

[blheron]

Read The Power of Limits by MIT prof Doczi for a great illustration of the golden section in nature and composition. Love your work and your golden pipes.

[atrios28]

+5, +7, +9

[tippo747]

also the guitar divided perfectly into three,,devides, on the 7 and 19 th fret

7 and 19 both third level fibinacci numbers

to make the first fibinnaci sequence you start

with just one and two and add them together..

but the third level fibinacci sequence....starts with 1234.......then you add the first number 1 with third one along from that number (4) and write down the answer...which is 5....now move along..and do the same for 2.

(1 2 3 4 5 7 10 14 19 26 36 50 69 95 131 181 )

[tippo747]

..the name JESUS

contains 4 third level fibinnaci letter....

see J is the tenth (10)letter

and E is the fith (5)letter

and S is the 19 th letter

so the third level fibinnaci series goes like this

.1 2 3 4 5 7 10 14 19 26 36 50 69 95 131 181

so it exactly the same but leaps 3 instead of 1..so start with 1234 and add the 1 to the 4 and write down 5..and then move along and add 2 to 7 and get seven. 10 commandments..and God created the universe in 7 days, both 3rd level fibinaci

[gamingfreak10]

there are 2 1's at the beginning it only shows 1 1 (i know they say it but it only showed 1) >.>

1 1 2 3

[kennordine]

You are right. Should have been two ones. Waiting to have the mistake corrected by the animator.

ken

[sydartarose]

@kennordine it begins with 0

[a2zhandi]

@sydartarose haaa your right. 0+1=1=2=3=5

Good call!!

[sydartarose]

it begins with 0

[jk3us]

@kennordine Doesn't it actually start with 0, then 1, followed by a second 1 and so on?

[juanpedro19840914]

@gamingfreak10 Actually it should be 0 1 1 2 3 ...

[kennordine]

Music and math are the loveliest of constructs.

2 next to to two is twenty two

[hanumizzle]

This reminds me of a tutorial on Haskell lazy evaluation—Fibonacci numbers are a common example—on shrooms!

I'm a CS / math major, this video really made my day

[kennordine]

Take a peek at c'est la vie

[setlaew]

Hi! I'm not so sure what you mean by "Fibonacci numbers are a common example—on shrooms."

I certainly don't want to sound simple, but are you making a reference to Fractals?

Please explain? Thanks.

[odenskrigare]

The Fibonacci sequence is the most common way of showing how lazy evaluation works in Haskell, i.e.:

fibs = 0 : 1 : [ a + b | (a, b) <- zip fibs (tail fibs)]

Evaluates to [0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,...]; goes on forever.

No, he is not talking about fractals.

[odenskrigare]

And, by the way, savatdi khrap/sabaidi if you are Thai or Lao, which the name 'setlaew' sounds like.

[chi8cago]

fantastic production....

[RonaldVaughan]

OMG!! Cross KEN NORDINE with the Fibonacci

[sic] Series and who knows what could happen!

BTW, check out KATE BUSH doing "Pi" on her

"Aerial" recording,LOL!!

[appppppppple]

i thought it was 1,1,2,3,5,8... not just 1,2

[kennordine]

you are right, should be two ones before two makes one three and then two makes three five etc. a graphic oops.

ken

[roxhana2]

Isn't God the greatest Mathematician?

[drjsteinberg]

amen

[mdiem]

Who?

[cawleym1]

This universal sequence of numbers could lead to the ability to predict the appearance and forms of alien life. If this ratio is set into the development of  life on this planet then it could be true for life elsewhere. Just a thought.

[kennordine]

lots of number systems can give us seconds thoughts:

for instance, there is an infintely larger number of infinite irrational number than there is an infinite number of infinite rational numbers. Check out George Cantor, mathemetician circa 1920 something. ken

[cawleym1]

The Lucas system 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843......also embedded into nature.

I think that numbers are potentially infinite but are actualy finite like the universe. It will all end one day you know. ;¬)

[cawleym1]

fibonacci did not come up with this sequence it came out of africa.

[IzzyD42]

This would not be surprising, as it is a "natural" sequence of numbers, and it may be more accurate to say that Fibonacci discovered it than invented it, if you will. Would that be Northern Africa or sub-Saharan Africa? Or possibly Arab traders? It's not called the Hindu-Arabic numbering system for no reason, you know!(;-)

[kennordine]

A great poet Omar Hakim Khayahm laid down some good lines at the same time the Arabic numbers came spilling out. Could have been the vast landscape of shifting whispering sand working on the cognitive shelf within the spirit. I have never met a quantum that didn't leap. ken

[Teflon65]

There it is again! A couple of years ago, I downloaded Jim Reeves' version of "The Shifting, Whispering Sands", but only just today found your version, which an uncle of mine used to listen to, just before he'd go into stories of his time in the desert. Never thought I'd see that track somehow linked to Omar Khayahm, but you've managed to do it. Wonderful!

[cawleym1]

I should have said North African with the 0 being Indian. Cheers ;¬)

[mdiem]

Stigler's Law?

[IzzyD42]

May I humbly suggest commas? Also, sometimes I have seen this sequence starting 0,1,1,2,3, etc.?

[kennordine]

you are right. the idea

0,1,1,2,3 etc..makes the inductive leap

a little easier to see.  Probably imaginary space helped Fibby find his way. Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

ken

[IzzyD42]

Delighted to be of service.

[cawleym1]

yes it should be 0,1,1,2,3.........

[2terence2jones]

where's the other 1?

[kennordine]

I have to confess...the other 1 is hiding out, being so close to itself, it worries that 11 will be misconstrued as being eleven. (22 has similar problem: 2 next to 2 is 22, but that's a totally different number playground.) Thought of fixing the graphic, so there'd be two ones in the animation, but I have to finish something else before that.

Thanks for noticing the crime of omission.

ken

[torpss]

any individuality or singularity on the surface may appear true but there is an underlying duality in everything as far as we can empirically determine.. so the 1 1 does correlate to nature and is correct.

[randallpaulcom]

Dawrr HAHAHA Moron? Unfortunately everyone who follows knows 11 is the first of the sequence otherwisw you can not devise two. Watch listen and learn. Also look at the Elliot wave correlations with Fib # Fascinating study

[dawrr]

HAHAHAHAHAH HE FUCKED UP!!!! IT'S 112358 and so on... You need the 1!!!! AHAHAHAHAH HE FUCKED UP!!! WHAT A MORON

[mongoose7001]

lol yea you need two 1's at the beginning.

[raahr]

yeah but why?

[ZincSolution]

The solution is zinc!

[lemmymorton]

debussy used fibonacci sequences extensively

[airnomad12]

man ken i thank you for making this vid it helped me alot wit ma project

[Peteworth]

Ken, I wish i could afford your cds

[Rhemasonador]

I am in Spoken Word Heaven here.... brilliant work Sire. HUGS--Andy

[BitShift]

Great video.

[tonykartyz125]

Ken, any live performances in Chicago?

[bobsong7]

Ken,

I have been a fan for years. Where can I acquire your classic pieces like the bit about "the sins of the father befall the son", "the videot" the guy who overbuys rat poison, aka"which lousy neighbor poisoned the dog". hehehe. makes me smile just to recall these chestnuts.

[DrShrinker]

God, this is brilliant. One of my favorites of Ken's work, along with Devout Catalyst and Emperor Of Ice Cream.

Thanks for posting.

[kennordine]

thanks for the comment. I'll have to add some things about infinity sizes,

which is the greater, rational or irrational, somnething George Cantor did

some puzzling over a long time ago.

[meu02136]

It's remembered as the Fibonacci numbers? Not the Fibonacci sequence? Anyway, this is shite.

[scotpens]

I thought it was the Fibonacci series. Or is that a 1970s TV show about an Italian detective?

[b1llgbg]

Petrocelli :)

[rdelaney]

awsome

[notvalidcharacters]

"Fibonacci" actually

[wickawickasaywhat]

my most favorite of yours, Ken. Thanks for this.
