hello I'm a belgian wine maker. We play music in our wine celler (with a very powerfull baffle) because it creates small vibrations on the tanks. Thanks to this we mix he wines less and so they keep more aromas . I would like to get more "powerfull" vibrations. Does somebody have an idea of how...

Hello there.. I had previously worked with the TDA2030A amplifier and made an 8 W sound-box which was nice. So I thought I should upgrade my plan and decided to make a 2 channel music system on my own. I have it all rigged up and mounted inside an old cassette player (with my own speakers) but...

First of all, Thank you very much for you time if you're reading my question. I just want to know how things work (i guess all of us), and some guidance will be more than welcomed. One of the questions that i have in my mind is: Could the sound waves (e.g:a song or a sound) make some...

Hi What approach should I take if I want to try this with music? I know the mathematics that are needed to learn neural networks (from what I have read on websites like Coursera). Also, I know basic scientific programming with Python. I am willing to spend time to learn how to make the...

Any genre any song that stirs your soul. I'll start off with Metastaseis by Iannis Xenakis. A componist, music theorist, architect-engineer. Most of musical his work is inspired by mathematical concepts. Be warned, it isn't easy to listen to the first couple of times. As Newtonian views of...

I can't help it. DNCE's single "Cake by the Ocean" is just way to catchy for me to ignore. When first heard it, not only was I moving to the music, but I kept wanting to figure out what "cake by the ocean" meant. To me, it was as cryptic (nonsensical?) as Jimmy Webb's "left my cake out in the...

Do you follow the trends of the day in clothing and keeping up with the music of the day, Follow the latest food trends.?

So I'd like to listen to some music but the fact is I only know a few interprets. I've never been a music fan but I feel like listening to some damn good music when I get home this evening. I'm looking for something with a nice melody, easy to listen to, but also meaningful words. It would...

Homework Statement A guitar player is plucking a strong of length 30cm. How fast must the player move towards or away from the stationary observer, in order for the observer to mistake the fundamental frequency for the second harmonic? ANSWER: 2(Vsound) towards the observer Homework...

I am working in a group for designing a LED interactive Screen. My part of the project is the design of the music visualization system. I am new in this area, but I know I need to use some op-amps to filter the input signal from the mp3 player. Could anyone give me any suggestions on how to...

As another of my personal music projects, I have wondered if it would not be possible to calculate the 'feel' of a drumhead (i.e. the amount of 'give' expressed as transverse displacement 'z' that an equally pre-tensioned circular membrane of radius 'r' experiences when struck on its plane at a...

I myself are thinking about chiptune and dubstep ... and if it's possible , can you name a song that is the best to listen to when programming ?

Well, I thought that this was a good idea. As there are people all around the world in here, from different cultures, I think that we could share some music in a topic like this, learn a little bit, and socialize in some way through music. I love music, I listent to all class of generes. In my...

I am a computer programmer, mostly in Windows, but a little bit into open source, Linux and Java. I work a lot in javascript and SQL of one kind or another, both of which are utilized somehow via all common platforms. I am also interested in music, physics, and chemistry. I play piano and...

I was watching 'The sound of Music' for the nth time with my 11 year old daughter. There is a scene at the beginning, the Reverend mother tells Maria to go to the Captain's house. My daughter insists the reverend mother says "the captain's wife died seven years ago". And when the kids's names...

Is anyone else having problems with local storage on their iPhones after downloading Apple Music? I'm not even talking about the problems with my music files... which also is an issue. But my local storage has become so depleted that I can't even do basic app updates.

I lightly placed my finger a quarter of the length down the E-string of a violin and drew the bow, forcing the third harmonic. I used an oscilloscope app to look at the waveform. I got this unusually regular pure pattern...

I have recently found this song on Youtube called "Physicsmen"... Anyone knows other songs about Physics or Science in general?

Dear PF forum, Do anyone know, why music interval is always \sqrt[12]{2}?

I've been researching this subject for a little while. I'd like to hear your ideas, because the topic is widely discussed. So here is some part of my research which makes my opinion quite clear: "Sometimes we say , that one is moved by music. Of course, it does not mean for him/her to be...

When it comes to waves, spherical harmonics are, like, da bomb. I'm no expert - probably obvious from the question - but it seem to me that an instrument which maximises the utilisation of harmonics/resonances would be spherical. And yet, I can think of no spherical instruments - the most...

A B C D E F G Sharp, flat, neutral Beat 8 4 1 half quarter eighth ... Vocal chords Three different hertz variances, this may be in the wrong thread. Vowels can be extended for ever

I guess that the way we experience sounds on Earth is very importantly influenced by the composition and density of our atmosphere, since it determines how a pressure wave will be formed and will propagate. Does music sound appreciably different when heard at very high altitudes with low air...

This is not a homework question per se, but rather something I have come across during a homework project. Using Audacity, I recorded a few different instruments playing the same notes (investigating timbre). I noticed that (using a steel string acoustic guitar) the first harmonic at 131 Hz...

So I've been researching into this a lot lately as I want to learn just exactly what pitch is coming from my speakers but I'm getting confused. If pitch changes with temperature/speed of sound and 1hz is always the speed of sound. Then when using a midi instrument or electronical instrument...

Is there any application of maths in music, which topic is directly used. I've heard group theory is used, but how it is used. Plz help..i m going to work on a project that will show how maths works in music or sound system.

Hi everyone. I have a question on the role of piano in choral music. Piano seems to be the "default" instrument for accompaniment in many choral works. May I know why is piano the "preferred" instrument? Thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfJRX-8SXOs It sounds Jazz to my ears. But I'm pretty novice about music genres.

Hi, New to this forum.. ..and physics I am currently a seasoned undergrad who only recently decided to study physics. The choice was more out of a growingly passionate curiosity of the subject than of desired career field. While I have been rather indecisive in my choosing of a major, I...

Hi, I've been searching for a way to turn off album art on my lockscreen for a Samsung galaxy note 3. Every time I look for something like this on the playstore, it comes up with a bunch of apps for people who WANT their album art displayed on the lockscreen while playing. Some of the bands I...

I have come across some articles saying that the reason we like music is that its auditory cheesecake. And i think someone called steven pinker came up with it. Can someone please shed some light into the matter, what does it mean? Simple explanation please.

I noticed that when I was younger, there was a much higher prevalence of bands having popular songs. I'm talking about the late 90s to about 2004. It seems in recent times that music have shifted towards solo artists instead of bands, I was wondering what might account for this.

Hello Physics Forums- My name is Tyler Cutts, and I am a student at the University of South Florida. After some serious career and college thought, I have decided to change my major to Mathematics Education, which covers almost all of the content a Math major would take, as well as a...

I understand octaves, like 100 hz, the first octave is 25, second, 50, and 100 the third octave. How can I relate all this to chords? I have been reading all this music lingo and can't correspond any of it to frequencies, and a lot of the ideas from now today don't match up with the past etc...

I like the background music. Can anyone recognize?

If you put your two hands over two ears while listening to music, sounds of which frequency range will be more audible? When I listen to music, I notice that if I put my two hands over my two ears, some sounds become more audible than others. Please check it yourself. I don't know...

so I have a program that pull data from a microphone and does an FFT. now it is working for computer Generated Sin waves like from: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/ and youtube.. but not for read work sound from youtube. so I do not have a piano, but I have been using youtube videos...

I have been doing some research on music note frequencies. and I am getting a lot of mix information. ok middle C is 261.625565 hertz Human can sing between 150Hz to 4K Or between 60Hz to 2K ? Also I tried this site http://onlinetonegenerator.com/?freq=5000 and I can't hear 60Hz...

Check it bruh, physicist/mathematician PTTRNRCGNTN has new stuff.

How do you classify music? Music is so complex that it seems impossible to categorize it but still there are so many genres. Here are a few common:- -Rock -Pop -Classical -Rap -Hip-hop Some classify based on the instrument used, some based on how you sing but I don't understand...

I know everyone says do not put Music or any sounds on a WebSite. But my WebSite has Diferant Galleries on it and every Gallery has it's own theme. So for my Fall Gallery Page I have a Spooky Sound that I want to play one time. I have iE10 and I have an MP3 file. And I can not get it...

Hello, the internet. I am attempting to graph Doppler Shift as a function of time for a music project. The equation for observed frequency is: fo=fs(c)/vs(c) Where fo is observed frequency fs is the source frequency c is the speed of sound vs is the velocity of the source But...

I was reading this article - http://psychology.about.com/od/personalitydevelopment/a/music-and-personality.htm which links type of music with different personalities and I was very surprised at its correctness. I'm very introverted and the article was correct pointing out that I generally like...

Here is the question: I have posted a link to this topic so the OP can see my work.

I am trying to understand how our brain interprets sound and I am bumped on a few things. We can differentiate between different frequencies of sound (athough if they are close enough we might get confused). And there is something called pitch which is a subjective realisation of frequency of...

I want to know about music. It should be something that starts with what music is, how humans started it, why humans are stimulated by it. Further it should give a brief description about idea of solfege, music notation, rhythm and how we develop new songs. The latter part is music theory which...

this is the music from the trailer of the new Cosmos series : love it Have you got any song of this type? Here's the trailer if you've not watched yet:

Here is the question: Here is a link to the question: Quick Proof about a Square Matrix? - Yahoo! Answers I have posted a link there to this topic so the OP can find my response.

This thread is inspired by MarkFL and mathmaniac. I'll start, Best Trance 2011 2012 2013 :) We've been discussing dreaming and music lately so... TRANCE! edit* VG is video game. Thanks MarFL i can embed the video now!

I've had the same CD in my car that I've been listening to for almost a year; a lot of the songs are great, but I'm starting to get sick of some of them. I've started putting some new songs together for a new CD, but I only have this list so far: - All Along the Watchtower - Another Brick...
