| Dec 5, 2010 at 19:19 | comment | added | Daniel Mehkeri | I have a score for Fermat's Last Fugue, but the character limit for this comment is too small to describe it. (Sorry, someone had to say it.) Seriously though, a long time ago my friend came up with an audio-visual demo of the towers of Hanoi with 7 disks on his computer. It was impressive to me at the time, but for "sonification" he just had a simple scale. I suggested instead (least significant bit to most significant bit) A-B-E-F-C(up octacve)-D-A(down octave). Second voice (rest)-E-A-A-G-B-A. Third voice (rest)-(rest)-C-D-E-G-C. The song still sticks with me as a binary count mnemonic. | |

There's plenty of responses to your question in there. | |
