The Principle of Pyson

 

·   Number → Scale Conversion

·   Pi Song is created by converting each number of pi into a scale (scale name)

·   Example conversion method (based on C major)

 

·   If you convert the pi 3.1415926535... according to the table above,

·   "Me do pa do sol re re la sol me sol do re si..."

·   This is how the melody is created.
