i don't understand any of this but it sounds fucking awesome
Yeah, except he interprets a lot of stuff into it, it isn't really playing "Tau" anymore.
damn it math
this is also the number of radians in 360 degrees, in other words this is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 1.

sounds great.

Which makes me wonder why we even use pi, it's like using a half-meter instead of a meter for measuring distance
Pretty cool, a bit far fetched, but still very nice!
the lead riff is tau but the rhythm section is kinda just doing it's own thing

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is what pi sounds like.
Should probably add this to the OP.

So measuring the perimeter of a circle would be ½ pi * d?
[editline]29th June 2011[/editline]
That's not really handy
[editline]29th June 2011[/editline]
Oh, right, it could just be tau * r

Is there anything else to say?

it's a lot easier to use pi in higher level maths and so it's easier to just familiarize young students with the concept of pi than it is to scrap everything the kid has ever learned and start over with much harder equations

Yeah like radians and shit start getting important and if you go far enough like the whole imaginary number nonsense.
Also this music was what I originally expected when I first looked up math metal
Eh all throughout the year in my differential equations class we kept debating whether or not we liked tau better than pi. A large part of the arguments revolved around how nicely tau fit most equations and how much easier measuring the unit circle is with 1 tau instead of 2 pi.
That was about it though. No one really gave a shit since we've had pi hammered into our brains since 7th grade.
Have fun using tau in physics when rotation is involved and the symbol for torque is already tau, lol!

He's playing the same numbers on different instruments.

At least in some parts

I didn't get that part on the video and if you didn't tell me this i would be shitting bricks, no way a number can, all by itself, sound like that.

He's playing chords that correspond to the digits of the number, so it's about as close as you can get to the "sound" of the number
*A manly tear was shed*
This guy's fucking talented.
