The Pi Symphony - very nice.
http://www.pisymphony.com/gpage.html
Pi symphony was born in a Calculus I class in the early 1990's. With my
habit of making numbers into melodies, I decided to try the digits of
pi. I was astonished to discover the simple melody which does not sound
at all random out to 32 digits. At that time I did some more research
and found that the digits of pi have only been calculated out to
several hundred digits for a couple of hundred years. My goal then
became to create a classic orchestration of this melody which imparts
the emotions associated with scientific discovery. Within a year or
two, I had finished the Pi Symphony, while studying Engineering/Physics
at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I had several orchestral
arrangements performed, but alas, never Pi. I spent one entire summer
editing and writing more on the score. There are some .mp3 files of
excerpts (below) from the synthesized rendition. One goal of this site
is to sell copies of my synthesized rendition, to hopefully connect
with an appropriate debut environment.
This sample opens with pi rounded to 3.1416 on horn, followed by the
ensemble playing the same. Next a short fanfare digs deeper into the
digits. At 44: seconds, the flute plays pi while all other instruments
play snippets of the digital sequence.
At 1:36, the melody of 'e' is introduced on the flutes
At 1:45, The trupets play pi accompanied by strings whose chordal
structure is also dictated by the digits.
