Crunchiness

🔗Keenan Pepper <mtpepper@prodigy.net>

Quoth my theory teacher: "Music is like cereal � it's either crunchy or
soggy."

He meant by "crunchiness" that a chord or a voicing of a chord consisted of
all consonant intervals except one, usually a minor second. I instantly
thought how this could be applied to microtonal chords, and the
possibilities are limitless. Since we are not constrained to the twelve
boring intervals of 12-eq there are much more crunchy dissonances. A good
example is the 3-7 square chord, 1/1:21/16:3/2:7/4. Every interval is
7-odd-limit consonant except the 21/16, which is so close to 4/3 as to be
quite dissonant, giving this chord the melancholy sound common to all
crunchy chords. This is completely lost in 12-eq because the best
approximation to 21/16 is the perfect fourth. 1/1:9/8:7/6:3/2:7/4 is also
very crunchy because every interval is 9-odd-limit consonant except the
28/27, a very narrow interval of 63 cents or a thirdtone. This chord is
recognizable in 12-eq as min7(9), but just doesn't have the same bite. I
think the characteristic sound of these chords stems from the statement of
two pitches that would be consonant on their own but are not with each
other, like when two arguments both make sense but are mutually conflicting.

My goal is to find a cruchy chord in which the harmonic entropy of the
crunchy interval is more than the sum of all the other entropies combined.
Such a chord would be as crunchy as ice cold raw green pepper, proven to be
the most crunchy food.

Below I give tables showing all the orbital ratios as decimal
values, to 4 significant digits. I also give the orbital periods
in Earth-days, which means that the values can be calculated
with much greater accuracy by anyone who wants to do it.
(I've done it, but it won't fit here; listen to the piece
to hear the accurate values.)

In the 'addendum' at the bottom of this post, there are two
charts showing how closely these values fit various low-integer
ratios, with the percentage error. In my previous post on this,
http://www.egroups.com/message/tuning/11867
I already pointed out the planetary relationships that had the
closest fit to low-integer ratios (but I used 23-limit there);
here they are quantified, and many other less-good rational
approximations are shown.

I was going to add that statement to my original post, but I
guess I thought it was obvious enough for anyone who's been
following the harmonic entropy threads... that's why I used
the emphases that I did.

To answer David directly, and you too, Paul: this is
musically relevant because I've suggested a collaboration
on a 'solar system' piece here, and in fact as I was writing
this post, it got so long and involved, and inspired me so
strongly to work on the piece I've been suggesting, that
I just decided to disconnect from the internet and work
on the piece myself. I stayed up all night to write this
post, and here's the piece:

The basic orbital data
----------------------

Orbital periods of planets (in Earth-units):

days years
Mercury 87.97 0.24
Venus 224.70 0.62
Earth 365.26 1.00
Mars 686.98 1.88
Jupiter 4332.71 11.86
Saturn 10759.50 29.46
Uranus 30685.00 84.00
Neptune 60190.00 164.80
Pluto 90800 247.70

(NOTE: many sources give Pluto's period as 248.5 Earth-years.
I got this data from a NASA website, and assume it to be the
most recent and accurate.)

Ratios of orbital periods of the solar system:

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto
Mercury 1.000 2.554 4.152 7.809 49.24 122.3 348.8 684.3 1028
Venus 0.391 1.000 1.626 3.057 19.28 47.89 136.5 267.9 402.6
Earth 0.241 0.615 1.000 1.881 11.86 29.46 84.00 164.8 247.7
Mars 0.128 0.327 0.532 1.000 6.306 15.66 44.66 87.62 131.7
Jupiter 0.020 0.052 0.084 0.159 1.000 2.484 7.083 13.90 20.89
Saturn 0.008 0.021 0.034 0.064 0.403 1.000 2.851 5.594 8.408
Uranus 0.003 0.007 0.012 0.022 0.141 0.351 1.000 1.962 2.949
Neptune 0.001 0.004 0.006 0.011 0.072 0.179 0.510 1.000 1.503
Pluto 0.001 0.002 0.004 0.008 0.048 0.119 0.339 0.665 1.000

Notice anything familiar? Why, it's nothing other than
an Interval Matrix! We're used to seeing tables like this
filled with fractional ratios (one need go no farther than
Partch's _Genesis of a Music_ for an example); this is the
same thing but in decimal format.

Given the fact that the planetary distances increase
logarithmically, just like our perception of musical ratios,
I have given all numbers to the same number of significant
digits - in this case, 4 digits, so that it would fit here.
6 significant digits would provide pretty reasonable accuracy,
and can be calculated from the table above this one.

Each row in the chart shows orbital periods from the point
of view of an observer on the planet listed on the left,
in terms of that planet's 'years' or fractions thereof.

Each column shows how many times the planets revolve around
the Sun in terms of that planet's 'year'.

So the numbers less than 1 are the reciprocals of the corresponding
relationship given by the number greater than 1. For example,
Jupiter revolves around the Sun in 11.86 Earth-years, and the
Earth revolves around the Sun in 1/11.86 = ~0.08 Jupiter-years.

Observe how 1.00 (the 1/1) flows diagonally down the center of
the chart. In mapping the orbital frequencies as sounds, we
can show all 36 planetary relationships as either an otonality or
a utonality. The otonality representation utilizes all the numbers
larger than 1, and the utonality all the numbers less than 1.

My 'Solar System' Piece
-----------------------

This piece is going to be a work in progress. I'm starting
it off with a simple demonstration of the orbital periods
of the 9 planets as a sustained 9-note chord. I use a
reed-organ (harmonium) timbre, so as to be free from vibrato;
the beating you hear is caused by slight differences in pitch.

The obvious starting point was to take the frequency values
from the 'Pluto' column, since they give a nice easy 1/1 at
the bottom, and it made sense to me to have the slowest planet
give the lowest note. So I used Pluto's orbital period as the
1/1 and all the closer planets as the higher pitches of the chord.

(I'm using the greatest pitch-bend resolution, 4096 units
per semitone.)

'8ve' + Semitones = MIDI-note + pitch-bend
Mercury 10 0.08 C 10 + 309
Venus 8 7.84 G# 8 - 653
Earth 7 11.43 B 7 +1759
Mars 7 0.49 C 7 +2020
Jupiter 4 4.61 F 4 -1585
Saturn 3 0.86 Db 3 - 569
Uranus 1 6.72 G 1 -1140
Neptune 0 7.05 G 0 + 223
Pluto 0 0.00 C 0 0

Thru *my* speakers, Pluto is inaudible, Neptune can just
barely be heard, Uranus is a low growl, and Mercury can
just barely be heard (it may be beyond the MIDI-note range).
The greater-than-10-'8ve' ratio between Mercury and Pluto
forced me to map each of them at the respective limits of
the human audible frequency range.

What's most surprising is that the overall sound rings out
quite clearly as something resembling a major chord!

Mercury, Earth, Mars, and Saturn all fall fairly close
to '8ves' of Pluto's 1/1 (if you isolate Earth and Saturn
they pretty much give a 'major 7th'); Venus, Uranus, and
Neptune all give something close to the '8ves' of the
3rd harmonic, and Jupiter sounds like an '8ve' of the
5th harmonic.

(see the '8ve'-reduced pitch graph)
http://www.egroups.com/files/tuning/monz/solarsystem/solar.gif

Using Pluto as 1/1 is rather arbitrary. Since the planets and
the Sun all formed together out of a disk of rotation gas, it
would make much more sense to use the Sun's period of rotation
(25.38 Earth-days) as a 'guide tone' (in Fokker's sense),
and calculate all the planet's periods as subharmonics of
that:

Sun 1.0
Mercury 0.288507446
Venus 0.112950601
Earth 0.069484751
Mars 0.036944307
Jupiter 0.005857766
Saturn 0.002358846
Uranus 0.000827114
Neptune 0.000421665
Pluto 0.00028052

Since the relative orbital periods are still the same,
if the Sun is omitted the chord would have the same sound
as the one I used, because the ratio between the Sun and
Pluto is impossible to represent within the human audible
range - either one of them must be given a note beyond
the audible frequency limit to make all the other planets
audible.

Ideas for extending the piece
-----------------------------

I'd also like to include the planetary distance data
in the piece somehow, but since the orbital distances *are*
periodic frequencies, it makes sense to map *them* as musical
pitch frequencies. After a similar experiment, but one which
mapped the planetary *distances* as pitch, David Finnamore
agreed that orbital period made more sense:
http://www.egroups.com/message/tuning/11894

Perhaps the planet's rate of rotation can be mapped as meter,
with the frequency sounding at the rate of one note per day
(of that particular planet's timescale, based on its rotation),
and the precise distance from the sun can be mapped as some
sort of timbral change. ...?

So it would be a La Monte Young-type piece consisting of a
droning chord whose notes have periodic timbral shifts.
Also, one of the parameters should be mapped to amplitude.

With a little more imagination, there are lots of other
data that could be mapped, such as orbital inclination
(above or below the Sun's equator) and obliquity (the
planet's rotational tilt from its orbital plane). To
make things really complicated, one could throw in stuff
like precession and nutation. The list goes on and on...
everything in the solar system (the universe?) that occurs
over long periods of time, repeats at periodic frequencies.

It would be really interesting to include the data about
the satellites, asteroids, and comets too... and how about
planetary impacts? Wow, what a fantastic sound!
Talk about 'music of the spheres'!

This may turn out to be a really useful endeavor, too:
I've mentioned before how mapping data aurally can allow
us to perceive patterns that we might not notice visually.

Perhaps listening to an accurate aural mapping of the solar
system's frequencies would allow us to hear patterns that
would enable us to predict such important things as major
asteroid or comet impacts on Earth.

Addendum
--------

Here is the interval matrix again, converted into semitones,
for easy comparison with common low-integer musical ratios.
(I removed the 'utonal' numbers so that the chart would fit
here; they're redundant anyway, as described above.)

Note the 841 cents (almost exactly a 13:8) of Venus/Earth,
and the 705 cents (extremely close to 3:2) of Neptune/Pluto.
Other relationships between adjacent planets which are close
to musical ratios are Mercury/Venus (fairly close to 18:7,
the '8ve' of the 9:7 'septimal 3rd'), Earth/Mars (just ~6
cents wider than the 15:8 'major 7th'), and Jupiter/Saturn
(~11 narrower than 5:2, the '8ve' of the 5:4 'major 3rd').

SEMITONES:

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto
Mercury 0.00 16.23 24.65 35.58 67.46 83.21 101.35 113.02 120.08
Venus 0.00 8.41 19.35 51.23 66.98 85.12 96.79 103.84
Earth 0.00 10.94 42.82 58.57 76.71 88.37 95.43
Mars 0.00 31.88 47.63 65.77 77.44 84.49
Jupiter 0.00 15.75 33.89 45.56 52.61
Saturn 0.00 18.14 29.81 36.86
Uranus 0.00 11.67 18.72
Neptune 0.00 7.05
Pluto 0.00

For those who want to know some other planetary orbital data:

(time is given in Earth-units; incl.=inclination,
ecc.=eccentricity; obliquity and inclination measured in degrees)

rotation obliquity incl. ecc.
hours days
Mercury 1403.49 58.65 0 7 .206
Venus 5814.99 243.0 178 3.39 .007
Earth 23.93 1.000 23.4 0.00 .017
Mars 24.55 1.026 25 1.85 .093
Jupiter 9.8 0.410 3.08 1.31 .048
Saturn 10.2 0.426 26.7 2.49 .056
Uranus 17.9 0.748 97.9 0.77 .047
Neptune 19.1 0.798 29.6 1.77 .009
Pluto 152.91 6.39 122.5 17.15 .248

Notes:

Because Venus, Uranus, and Pluto are tilted more than
90 degrees, they seem to us to be rotating backwards,
with apparent obliquities of 2, 82.1, and 57.5 degrees
respectively. In either case, Uranus appears tilted onto
its side.

Charts showing percentage error from ratios
-------------------------------------------

The percentage of error I obtained is greatly dependent
on the integer-limit I chose for my rational denominators,
which was 14. Including larger denominators, particularly
primes, would result in some planetary relationships coming
much closer to a low-integer ratio. I leave this as a
project for the reader...

Here is a table showing the smallest errors of rational
approximations from the actual orbital periods, based on
my 14-integer-denominator-limit, and ranked by amount of
error from least to greatest. I chose 2.18% error as
the arbitrary cut-off point.

Note both the very low integers of the ratio as well as
the tiny error for the Venus/Earth synchronicity (astronomers
call it 'resonance', and it happens to be one of my favorite
musical intervals, 13:8), and the very small errors for the
approximations of 2:3 for Neptune/Pluto and 2:5 for Jupiter/Saturn.

Also, even tho it's not a particularly small number, the
Earth/Uranus ratio is so close to 1:84 that multiplying it
by every integer thru 14 did not produce any close approximation.

And here is a more comprehensive table showing all the
significant low-integer approximations to the orbital periods,
within my 14-integer-denominator-limit. Relationships are
ranked by planetary order from the Sun.

Comparisons between widely-separated planets (i.e., between
any of the 'gas giants' and any of the smaller inner planets)
are going to be very close to integer ratios, because one of
the numbers is already extremely large; in most of these cases
I have given only two ratios: the most accurate (within my 14-limit)
and the smallest-integer.
