Quite a while ago, Brian and I were well into our years-long discussion about Fibonacci and our continued fascination with the relationship (or equality) between art (music, architecture, nature) and math.
We wondered -- I don't remember exactly how it evolved -- man, what would happen if the numbers in a Fibonacci series (or a series of Fibonacci-type series) correlated somehow to the keys on a piano?
What happened was Fibonacci Chords for piano. I stumbled across it last weekend while cleaning out a storage room. I don't think it was ever played outside Brian's head or piano. If you happen to have a head for numbers and Brian's way of thinking about them (!) and are interested in having a copy or doing something with it, let me know. I'd be happy to talk numbers again. It has about 30 measures to it -- mostly "chord" combos -- plus extras that include some notes and observations including one of my favorites. He writes:
"The sixth number of every series is always divisible by eight. I checked down to 25, but I imagine it continues... But I also imagine LOTS of other things."

Mazzy Star funny moment
2/10/09
Got an email newsletter from OSU Alums and clicked on the “Take a Walk Down High Street” tour where they tell the history of the stores on High St. When the tour got to Singing Dog Records, I remembered when Brian used to work there and Mazzy Star played an in house concert. I was excited to hear they had been there even though I missed it and said something about liking the song “Fade Into You” and he said in a very funny way, “You know the singer has green pee.” I laughed and said, “What? What are you talking about?” and he said, “Her pee is green.” I said, “What does that mean?” and he laughed and said, “Well, I don’t know what that means but I happened to go to the bathroom after she did and she didn’t flush! There it was-glowing bright fluorescent green pee!” Priceless information!
Obviously I think of that every time I hear Mazzy Star for the rest of my life now.
