If you’ve been feeling the lack of awesomeness and/or mathematical concepts in your life (not that mathematical concepts aren’t awesome), then you’ll appreciate a recent project by musician Michael John Blake. Just in time for Pi Day on Mar. 14, Blake decided to musically interpret pi by exchanging the numbers, up to 31 decimal places, for both notes and chords. He then recorded a track at 157 beats per minute – that is, one-half of 314. The finished product is actually pretty good, considering it is a song based off an irrational number.
