I Forget<p>In theory most instruments look like a pile of integer harmonics through a filter, right? And chords are consonant when parts play in small integer ratios—harmonics of some shared lower chord root. In some sense chord harmonics form a subfield of the rationals.</p><p>12edo tempers out intervals to 2^{1/12} semitones. So do we get anything musically if we analyze ed harmonies as subsets of field extensions, like Q(2^{1/12}) for 12edo?</p><p>How do different field extensions *sound*?</p><p><a href="https://signs.codes/tags/microtonal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microtonal</span></a> <a href="https://signs.codes/tags/algebra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>algebra</span></a></p>
