one of their best. they're scientists. tool is another band that uses mathematics. radiohead does it too. same with a little avant-garde band called the locust. im not comparing any of their styles in any way, im just saying, what they're doing is mathematically based seriously. i know i sound crazy, but i know some people will know what im getting at

Can't wait to see Incubus in concert tonight.

@blodhgarm96 Tool for example uses odd mixtures of time signatures and rhythms that are based on mathematical patterns like the Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,etc.). It seems to suggest that even though it may go unnoticed, are brains may label the resulting sounds as "catchy" or even hypnotic. Great music for a long *trip* if you catch my drift.

@crildate what are u talking about how the hell do they use mathematics

[SirChandler2011]

reminds me of highschool lol, i used to write incubus lines on my walls. my parents loved that. lol

[FeelixLovesLights]

@crildate crazy as fuck but pretty dam sweet hahaha

[crildate]

@crildate I'll save some now, the fact that I used those bands are references are only because they also make aesthetic sense to me when their music is graphed. tool actually has a song using the fibonacci sequence, and that's what inspired me to look into this concept. all im saying is that some bands end up having traditional equations in the graphs. whether or not thats coincidental, is my question.

@crildate i can't wait to not read all the arguments that are going to come out of this

[crildate]

@DoctorBlissphd mmm i think a crow left of the murder was my last one. i liked morning view though. and don't be mean BiGGgraff100, the world has enough shit to deal with already

@crildate it gets really complicated with the drums, because you need to section off each sound as a note, and that can be done with a few pitch matches on a keyboard with each drum/cymbal. guitar chords look so good though. and best of all, the colors of each acrylic polymer gel line are completely arbitrary!

@loriannedc if you map out the frequency of when notes are hit with the x axis, and mark what notes were hit on the y axis by using middle c as the zero point, you can graph music. I'm still looking into this, but this band makes really (pretty pictures)hahaha. it's a part of my thesis for sculpture. I make huge meshed grids in the x and y dimensions and illustrate music on a rotating drum. Still trying to orchestrate how the z axis would work
