The Sound of Tau (a new manifesto) by Luke Harrald

This piece was written in response to Michael Blake's "What Pi Sounds Like" and "What Tau Sounds Like" for Tau Day 2011 (6.28.11). It was premiered at the Tau Day Celebrations at RiAus, Adelaide, Australia. The live performance can be seen on You Tube here:

The melodies and rhythm are based on Tau to 31 decimal places. The video is also driven by Tau - combining video fragments and images reflecting on Tau Day in up to 8 layers simultaneously.

Video samples include images from Michael Hartl's Tau Manifesto: http://tauday.com/ and a short clip from Vi Hart's: Pi is (still) wrong - here...

Is this available for download? I like it.

@Crixler

unfortunately not at the moment - I might get time to post it on my website over the next few days.

Thanks for the kind words... as you can see by the votes - it's split 50/50 at the moment :)

not sure what this is trying to say, but there was a clip stolen from @vihart so i thumbed down

@DFTBA10000

The clip isn't stolen - if you watched the clip right through, you'd notice Vi and Michael Hartl are both acknowledged at the end. The clip itself is a reflection on tau day (a fairly abstract one at that) & the soundtrack is all derived from Tau. Happy to update the description if you're bothered.

the knife is so sharp it cuts things together not apart.
