Come in my Nest

Ghost Train

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

Hi Al:)

Matt Holck

on musical scales
the musical scale is based on twelve even logarithmic steps in frequency

2^(0 / 12) = 1 THIS IS THE BASE NOTE
2^(1 / 12) = 1.05946309
2^(2 / 12) = 1.12246205 the second note
2^(3 / 12) = 1.18920712
2^(4 / 12) = 1.25992105 this is the third on the classical music scale
2^(5 / 12) = 1.33483985 this is the fourth
2^(6 / 12) = 1.41421356
2^(7 / 12) = 1.49830708 this is the fifth
2^(8 / 12) = 1.58740105
2^(9 / 12) = 1.68179283 this is the sixth
2^(10 / 12) = 1.78179744
2^(11 / 12) = 1.88774863 this is the seventh
2^(12 / 12) = 2 the octave

note:
the fifth frequency is 3/2 as large of the base frequency
so three wavelengths of the fifth match two wave lengths of the the base note

why is a doubling of frequency called an "octave"?
when twelve keys span across each pitch doubling
where middle c is twice low c and half high c

octave indicates the eight white key notes

why not "dodecave" for all 12 notes?

I was under the impression that they didn't match exactly.

Matt Holck

they were based on fractions multiples of the base note frequency


2^(0 / 12) = 1 THIS IS THE BASE NOTE
2^(1 / 12) = 1.05946309
2^(2 / 12) = 1.12246205 ~ 10/9 the second note
2^(3 / 12) = 1.18920712
2^(4 / 12) = 1.25992105 ~ 5/4 the third
2^(5 / 12) = 1.33483985 ~ 4/3 the fourth
2^(6 / 12) = 1.41421356
2^(7 / 12) = 1.49830708 ~ 3/2 the fifth
2^(8 / 12) = 1.58740105
2^(9 / 12) = 1.68179283 ~ 5/3 the sixth
2^(10 / 12) = 1.78179744
2^(11 / 12) = 1.88774863 ~ 17/9 this is the seventh
2^(12 / 12) = 2 the octave


the third, forth, fifth, and sixth will resonate with the base note over 2, 3 or 4 wavelengths

the ear finds this resonance to be harmonic
the second the third fill the gapes in the 8 step scale

Matt: You need to get out more!

*waves to cin*

Cinful

Stealthy GT! Blows kiss back.

Ghost Train

Sweet... you must think I spend all my time waiting for you in here

Cinful

Whatcha see is whatcha get!

Now that's looking!

Ghost Train

Hi B!ue

are you both in the same place? in the same boat so to speak?

Black Swan

Hi Ghost! We are sitting next to each other in a very boring lecture, trying to stay awake while the prof drones on and on and on, without taking a breath. He probably thinks were are taking copious notes, when in fact we're chatting with you on TCN. Ha!

Cinful

Yawn!

Black Swan

How about a story, huh? Something that you could do to keep us awake while we are all sharing Cinful's nest?

Cinful

I'll help. "Once upon a time..."

Black Swan

...there was this very scary Irish ghost...

Ghost Train

haha, that kind of funny

what type of stories do you like ?

Ghost Train

i'm not scary!

Cinful

that had many strange creatures that dwelt there

Black Swan

One went by the alias Ghost Train, or GT for short (although he was not short in height), who...

Ghost Train

hunted ghosts and drove a train. One creature had long blue flowing hair and three....

Cinful

(Holds breath. Waiting for GT. That's you're cue!)EDIT: He scripted!

Black Swan

...heads, each with a different name... Cin, Ghost, and Blue.

Ghost Train

don't pass out with all the breath holding, cins turn

Cinful

Ghost between Blue and Cin. A sandwich!

Black Swan

That was mixed with tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, and creamy KerryGold.

Ghost Train

Cin and B!ue would talk a lot, all the time really. Ghost always had a headache for some reason that only got better when...

Black Swan

they would be quiet and...
