PI SONG | SAVED MOMENTS |
Or, just go to a totally random moment
This is one continuous song that lasts for 52,596,000 minutes, or 100 years.
Canton Becker composed these sounds and an algorithm that orchestrates these sounds using the first one billion digits of pi (π). Each digit (3.1415...) determines four seconds of music, supplying the "turn signals" used to determine every musical expression.
Because the numbers in pi never repeat, each minute of "Shepard's Pi" music is in fact unique. By fast forwarding to some distant moment in the song, you are virtually guaranteed to find yourself listening to something that nobody else – including the composer – has ever heard before.
Use the SAVE button to save interesting moments you discover within the song. You may also give it your moment a name for everyone else to see.
Use the EXPLORE button to search the music for special digits, listen to moments named by other people, or listen to entirely different pi songs.
We can notify you when new Pi Songs are released.
