Hi! This is really cool, and I hope you’ll also go back to the “music theory for geeks” blog series — you suggested that you would post about a whole bunch of topics that I’m curious about. What I’d really also like to understand is what the underpinnings of these musical conventions are. What is the relationship of a chord, a scale, and a key, in “geek terms”? (I take it a chord is a subset of a scale, but by what operation is the chord derived from the scale?) Similarly — let’s say I whistle a melodic line; i.e. a sequence of single notes. A musician will say “oh, that’s in this key” — and, if she has a guitar in hand, will strum along appropriate chords. What operation produces this assignment of a sequence of notes to a key or chord progression? In geek terms, a note is a number in the set of 12, a scale and a chord are both two sets of numbers — so I’m whistling [1, 3, 4, 3, 5, 5, 3, 9] and my musician friend says “that is in [1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12], I will strum [1, 3, 5, 7] to accompany it.” Why? I’m hoping there is a geekier, more algorithmic answer than the intuitive musician’s answer of “’cause it sounds good”

The design for your site is a bit off in Opera. However I like your web site. I may have to install a “normal” browser just to enjoy it.
