What are you doing here?
I play jazz piano.
I'm sorry?
It's quite fun really, especially if, like me, you don't do it professionally. And it involves more theory than you would think.
I hated music theory at school.
Join the club. I'm looking for new ways into the subject. Visual and geometric ways, in particular.
What does geometry sound like?
A better question might be, what does harmony look like? If this stuff interests you, take a look at the Jazz Harmony Cube.
That's not Mathematica. It's Sketchfab.
That particular example doesn't require Mathematica's awesome symbolic processing capabilities. Actually the pop-up paper version of the cube is my favourite. I'm using Mathematica for things which actually require a bit of computing oomph. Music gets you very quickly into multidimensional geometry.
Tell me something surprising about yourself.
In the 1980s I was writing a lot about computing and AI, and happened to interview Stephen Wolfram.
