Musician Creates a Million-Hour Song Based on the Number Pi

Jam for 114 years to celebrate pi day.
There are over 2.7 trillion known digits of Pi. This irrational (non-repeating) number we all remember from primary school has inspired all manner of artistic endeavors, from Kate Bush’s song “Pi” to Martin Krzywinski’s data artworks. Now, for Pi Day (March 14), music software programmer Canton Becker has crafted a million-hour song based on Pi that unfolds generatively on a virtual tape deck.
