Let's spread some musical misinformation

On April Fools Day, jazz musicians only play the correct notes.

And tunes that sound like the originals using scales understood by humans.

Mathcore is a form of music that was developed from the game show Numberwang.

Math Metal is Black Metal that takes its cues from partial differential equations.

 

[Leigh Semmens]

Jazz came about as the result of a high school music lesson taught by a calculus teacher.

Algebra is the only Math Metal Band (so far) to have a No 1 hit with their song "X equals Y"

Not sure if it's an improvement (speaking as a survivor of grade-school recorder concerts), but I give you...the Bag-less Bagpipe:

Pipeless bags are less rare.

Partial because our hearing is limited.

They were wrong! Only men have a Y chromosome.

Math Metal is Black Metal that takes its cues from partial differential equations.

And just to explain to those who didn't do maths, those are equations that are only partially differentiated, that is they are all much the same as each other. This is why all math metal sounds much the same. however, sometimes it is 'unbounded', which means the song can never end.

Nonsense. The Beatles had one first with Maxwell's Silver Hammer, which was about the Scottish physicist's equations. That was just before George Harrison confused Gell-Mann's eight fold way with Buddhism and got really into quantum mechanics and bongo playing. That was the real reason the Beatles split up - Harrison wanted Gell-Mann's collaborator Richard Feynmann to join the Beatles on percussion, but he and Starr massively disagreed on the Copenhagen Interpretation and came to blows.

Paul introduced Feynmann to Marc Bolan, and it's actually Feynman on the T-Rex hits. Finn was simply hired for live dates as Feynmann couldn't spare the time from his research to tour.

That sounds true-ish...

They had to go with partial equations because complete ones kept blowing the speakers.

So called Planck Speakers are capable of handling frequencies from DC up to the Planck Frequency, 2.952 x 10^42 Hz.

So called Planck Speakers are capable of handling frequencies from DC up to the Planck Frequency, 2.952 x 10^42 Hz.

Audiophiles have complained that cutting off at such a low frequency is bound to affect negatively stereo imaging, blurring frequencies and complicating the sense of depth in recordings of classics such as The Birdy Song and Agadoo.

As I understand it, DC just produces endless droning with no real point.

The lower the frequency, the greater distance needed for sound to develop. This is why headphones with great bass response tend to be comically large.

You mean that if I apply a DC filter to a Neil Young record it will eliminate his vocals?

He's not really got the Devo look quite right. For a start he needs some dorky glasses.

Has anyone heard the new covers band Punk Floyd yet? Noisy covers of all your favourites. Shorter too - the whole of Dark Side of The Moon in just six and a half minutes.
