In my last entry I wrote about creating interesting patterns that sounds difficult to predict. For example the pattern x: 1,2,1,3,1,4,1,2,1,3,1,4,1,2.. A pattern alone might not make a song interesting enough, to make it more interesting we can create multiple patterns and add them on top of each other, if we have pattern y: 4,5,4,5,6,4,5,4,5,6,4,5... and play it while playing pattern x: --4,5,4,5,6,4,5,4,5,6,4,5 1,2,1,3,1,4,1,2,1,3,1,4,1,2 You might have been able to tell that pattern y s...

I was talking to a couple of friends about what makes music interesting and or good. We came to the subject of patterns in music. That is, each piece of music is built using some form of pattern. In its most basic form, this pattern can for example be a repeated list of drum beats. Let's try to represent this repeated list of drum beats with numbers. Imagine each number as a unique sound. 1,2,1,2,... Can you guess what comes next? Both visually, and auditory guessing what comes next is intuiti...

I had a discussion with a couple of friends about the new Nolan movie Tenet. We came to a point where we were trying to explain what entropy and time is. (slight spoilers) The main idea of the movie is that objects and people can enter a reversed-entropy state. In this state, the 'entropy' of their existence is moving in the opposite direction of what we view as the normal entropy direction. When trying to how this worked in the movie we came to a point where we thought of time as two lines. Me...
