musical pi

I never spent much time memorizing digits of pi, but one of the ideas I had for doing so was to map digits onto notes and memorize the pitch sequence (since memorizing musical lines is generally pretty easy for me), and I did so with the first ten digits or so before losing interest.

pi10k does the mapping for you, for any given 10 musical notes that you might care to specify, and then plays back the results. Rather cool.

Heh.
