I love diagrams that portray musical intervals as semicircular arcs. I'm starting a little catalogue of them here: midnightsledding.net/arcs/arcs.html
Let me know if you have any tips on other examples?

A surprising number of pages from the handwritten manuscript of "Tristan and Isolde" use every staff on the page. Gonna write a paper about how the orchestration was determined in large part by Wagner's choice of music paper.

Thank you!!

When I took my current job, I had to sign a paper saying that I would defend the Constitution of the United States, and I feel like maybe there should have been some online training assigned to me on this topic.

I'll check. Thank you!!

Thanks!

To celebrate the new year, I'll do two performances one hour apart. One at 11pm on December 31 and one at midnight on January 1.
Both will consist of a tone sustained for 1/8760 of the remaining duration of the year.

I'm resuming the podcast that I started in 2016: once and a while my computer randomly records one second of audio from a microphone in my living room and then posts it as this podcast.

If you say so?

I believe this is Plain Hunt Major

Finally.

We should be friends! :-)

I've been exploring what I'm calling "Complete-Harmony Canons", which are canons that result in all possible harmonies (once and only once, ignoring pitch doublings) depending on the number of voices and the number of pitches that are used. (examples in the link)

I feel its lack of usefulness would be a feature not a bug

I was working on Huge Helicopter String Quartet but this looks more fun

Do the sample values in digital audio have a unit name? And if not, can we call it a Carlson? Like, "the bass is lacking something, let's bump it up 100 Carlsons"?

I'm at the combination

Thank you!!

Fascinating. I think 0-2 is totally good.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for station/stop schedules (trains, buses, school buses, ferries, planes...), current or historic, where there are only two arrivals and/or departures each day.

I'll be researching, but contact me if you know of any?

For my recitals of conceptual and often-pattern-based pieces of music, I'm up to 100 works by people other than me. It brings me great joy to learn of new works like these, old or new. Please let me know if you think of something that might fit in?

I really thought this one would get the Met Opera to DM me about a commission. I'll keep trying...

As part of my series of recitals consisting of one note within an hour, I sustained a single tone during the 400000th hour since my birth.

What line are people waiting for him to cross?

I've been trying to find the smallest hour-long MIDI file that contains a single note. I'm down to 44 bytes. Any experts out there who can help me shave it down?
This is what I have now:
