Title: The History of Equal Temperament Tuning: How some pesky irrational numbers ruined music for 2000 years
Abstract: Why are there exactly twelve notes in the Western musical scale? How big is the space between the successive notes? What even is sound? These are some of the questions I will be answering in tomorrow's GIST talk. I will discuss a brief history of the math behind assigning pitch names like B flat to certain sound wave frequencies. We'll talk about how the assignment works today, how it has changed over time, and what impact adjusting the assignment has had on the development of more modern musical genres. No musical background required! Just bring your lovely selves!
