today, march 14, was officially pi day!
a few days ago, my husband's friend marcelo sent us an incredible video of musician michael john blake's musical representation of pi. marcelo is brazilian and unlike anyone i have ever met. he has the sweetest spirit and ends every sentence with "my friend." plus, my husband says he is one of the most immensely talented musicians he knows. marcelo came to america to study music and earned a master's in jazz performance at georgia state university. now he teaches music at his kids' school in brazil. a noble career choice.
this was also featured on npr today. check it out...
i love it so much. people assume that music and math are 2 ends of a spectrum. not so. as a musician, i am always thinking about beats, patterns, and timing.
another cool example of music in the natural world...
