Pi is a number, made up of a bunch of digits. But what do these digits... sound like? This takes the first 150 digits of pi after the decimal point, and it assigns each digit from 1 to 9 a note on the E major scale (0 having no note played, i.e. a rest). It also takes chords with the roots of these notes, making them major/minor/diminished to correspond with the key. I have tried to make it sound good, though it is somewhat hard, as these notes do not form any sort of pattern. The song starts at a tempo of 94 bpm (pi*30 rounded), and then becomes 63 bpm at the end (pi*20 rounded). Pi is a mathematical constant that approximately equals 3.14. It is represented by the Greek letter π, and is equal to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, i.e. the length of the circumference of a circle divided by the length of the diameter. Pi goes on forever, having an infinite amount of digits. Because it cannot be represented by a fraction of two numbers (e.g. 22/7), it is considered irrational. Because it cannot be represented by any polynomial operation (e.g. square roots, exponents, etc.), it is also considered transcendental. For a potentially better performance, click the green flag multiple times. The number may still be slightly out of sync, but I tried my best to sync it with the song. Fun fact: Pi has been calculated to 202,112,290,000,000 decimal places! (>202 trillion) Also, happy Pi Day! (Pi Day Friday!)
Please do not comment any chain messages on this project (such as being "cursed" or 9 random facts), since spamming violates Scratch's Terms of Use. (It doesn't matter who started it, please don't do it). This was partially inspired by Michael Blake's compositions of turning digits of constants into songs (making one for pi, tau, phi/the golden ratio, and e/Euler's number). Here's his version of what pi sounds like, from over 14 years ago: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/wK7tq7L0N8E/ He made his songs in the key of C instead of E. This song also only has two instruments and does not repeat previous digits. The two songs used in this project that aren't the one that I made are by Kevin MacLeod (Groove Grove and Split In Synapse). Also, not really "credits", but right before the end, I included a reference to the lunar eclipse that happened earlier today. If you don't know what a lunar eclipse is, it's where the Earth is directly in between the Moon and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Moon.
