Too Much Science, Not Enough Sleep
Okay okay… I’ve been way too distracted with work recently for my or anyone elses liking. After reading about grounding, and op-amps, and other similarly geeky but necessarily distracting items for the last three hours my brain is all churned to numerical mush. Hopefully, writing about artsy musical type stuff will distract me from my analysing enough to sleep.
Actually, speaking of (yeah, typing of, I know) analyzing - I can’t decide whether to use z’s or s’s tonight - stuff, I have a grand idea at the moment to categorize composers. Wow, that sounds so incredibly unexciting dunnit? Well it almost gets more exciting: what I wanna do is to plot a bunch of composers as points a graph, so that people can be like “Ah! Mozart has an x co-ordinate of 0.76 and a y-co-ordinate of 0.12, therefore I shall listen to him!” I’ll have a bunch of composers on the graph and it’ll be interesting to see how they group, who is on opposite corners, etc.
The only problem is, I don’t really have any idea what the x and y axis are going to be.
It’s also going to be horribly subjective, but maybe I’ll just push it totally in that direction. Hmm. This is starting to remind of the time that I wanted to work out a color wheel for flavors, so that one could easily come up with good recipe ideas by choosing flavor-schemes which were simulacra of things like a split-complimentary color scheme.
Oh my gosh I’m getting totally off topic. Bedtime.
