This is a normal post given that pi is a statistically random infinite series of numbers, at least as far as they've calculated it so far
one can only conclude that any series of notes can be made to sound pleasing when accompanied by harmonic arpeggios and some flourish in dynamics and tempo.
Actually, this bloke explains it better: The Problem with Pi Music www.youtube.com/watch?v=vekpN5e5PVY

This is a normal post I just hear a series of random notes,
With someone twiddling away with the other hand in a failed attempt to disguise it, like they're trying to drown out the neighbours having a row.

This is a normal post they've calculated to 60 trillion places i think now
I wonder what the chances of the transcribed pattern to mary had a little lamb are of appearing in that number set? monkeys/shakespeare etc

This is a normal post Interesting
But if you look at the line it appears jerky and artificial.

Open a page of a Tchaikovsky, Bach or Chopin score and you are immediately struck by detail, beauty and craft.

This is a normal post Sorry but I'm calling bollocks on that.
All standard western notation looks jerky and artificial because it is. Some PDQ Bach scores look prettier than some JS Bach scores.

This is a normal post Painting by numbers
Or splotching by Pollock may appeal to many, but studying the Asch ‘Carnaval’ variations by Robert Schumann, the numerical references by Alban Berg etc. etc. may reveal subtleties to be highly recommended.

You have to understand the idea and reality of ‘craft’.

This is a normal post I'm going to assume you're trolling. Good work.

This is a normal post Ok cool I think you
I forgot to reference Elgar’s major works - every bar/measure of his compositions are filled with requirements/details - not due to vanity(ies).

This is a normal post Now you seem to be arguing with your own spelling, punctuation and grammar.
It was good trolling, but the more you return to it the more shine you take off it.

This is a normal post I was just having a think about how I'd do this
and it turns out the first 100 digits of pi in base 12 is:
3.184809493B918664573A6211BB151551A05729290A7809A492742140A60A55256A0661A03753A3AA54805646880181A36830

This is a normal post I plotted this out as a sequence, it sounds shite.
Might try it in base 80 or 128 next.
