The music teacher wanted us to do a presentation on anything related to experimental music. Since this is suppose to be a fun class, so he asked us to be as creative as possible and make use of whatever we have learnt as engineers to help us come up with ideas. The next lesson, this classmate of mine took out his guitar and started playing a very nice piece of music which he composed. At the end of the performance, the prof asked him,"So how is this music experimental?" He replied,"Fibonacci series." He has used the Fibonacci series to come up with the pitch for the scores!! Wow talk about inspiration! Who says scientist dun have an artistic side? Then my prof upped the creativity level when he told us about this musician John Cage who composed his music by imagining a score sheet in the sky by drawing 5 horizontal lines across the night sky and filled in the score sheet by superimposing the stars!! Though not stellar, the music turns out not too bad. Maybe you budding musicians (or scientists) out there can try something like that.
Meanwhile, i have yet to figure something out for myself..
