Music box, backwards Bach, orbifolds and wooden bowl.

Oh, and don’t miss her other videos about visualizing math in hilarious ways!!!
One of my favorite Youtube channels.
and I thought my old guitar teacher could write music fast
Pretty amazing way to think about it.
Chick’s on meth. :yes:
So Bach used a paper tape music box to write all those inversions/variations?
Performs actions based on holes in tape. Is it a Turing machine?
Interesting. I have no idea how I would use this, but it’s still interesting
Only if you envision ViHart is acting as the controller.
Standard notation has flow control information: jump to here, go to start, repeat. So does standard notation represent a Turing machine?
No, it is a formal language … which is what a turing machine implements… She actually sort of states that in the video.
Whoa. Mobius strip in a music box. Fascinating. Makes me wonder what we’re really doing when we write music. I will have to watch more of her videos. Thanks.
