<p>Binx, I concur I have bookmarked it for my husband, he will be very interested in it, thanks!</p>
<p>I heard a piece about that on NPR,it was interesting to say the least, and they also had the music playing. It doesn’t surprise me that the music was a basic theme that musicians were supposed to improvise around, that kind of flexibility was common into the Baroque era (and sadly in the following centuries was stamped out of classical music forms…), but that they were using binary to notate it was a surprise. I suppose it was easier for them,especially when carving it into a statuary head:)</p>
<p>I just caught the tail end of the NPR piece and made a mental note to check it out-and promptly forgot! Thanks for posting this…</p>
<p>Very interesting! I just forwarded it to my D’s Music Theory teacher who is also an accomplished composer. Right up his alley. We just got back from visiting Leonardo da Vinci’s home and seeing all his inventive thought from the 1500s. Fascinating.</p>
<p>…and we thought digital music was something new. Go figure.</p>
