SYSTEM Sounds | Music Of The Spheres: The Harmonic Series Played By Planets @SYSTEMSounds | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 10 minutes ago
The first 16 notes of the musical harmonic series are played by a hypothetical planetary system. The frequency of each planet, which determines its pitch and rhythm, is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency played by the outer planet (1, 2, 3,…,16). These are also the pitches produced when an oscillating string is divided into equal length segments or the rhythms produced when a bar of music is divided into equal lengths of time.
