Pi is a constant number, infinite, never repetitive and proverbially unpredictable – and therefore fascinating.
This is how we know Pi from school: 3.14159265359 … but what does Pi look like?
Pi in Colors
The basis are the spectral colors from 380nm (ultraviolet) to 780nm (infrared), i.e. the color spectrum visible to the human eye. Pi contains the numbers from 0 – 9, so the spectral colors are divided into 10 parts. Calculated for each number you get an exact wavelength and color.

And how does pi sound?
Pi in tones
The numbers 0-9 are calculated, generated and sounded with different methods, e.g. with:
Bowl
Like a wine glass, a suitable porcelain bowl produces a clear and rich tone by rubbing the upper edge. The clay changes with the amount of water in the bowl.
Frequency
Humans can perceive frequencies from approx. 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. These are, if at all, sometimes unpleasant to hear in the extremely low and high range. This frequency range can also be divided by 10.
Telephone
Every modern telephone has the keys 0-9. The multi-frequency dialling method MFV is the common dialling technique since the 90s. The tone of a key is generated from a overlapping of two frequencies.
Instruments
The pentatonic scale has five tones. Thus ten notes can be played over two octaves.
Assuming Pi is infinite, never repeats itself and any combination of numbers, no matter how short or long, occurs in Pi – shouldn’t every melody, or rather sequence of notes, which has ever been “invented”, occur in Pi?

Pi is limited to 1’000’000 jobs on this website. If you would play a sound every second, it would take 11.5 days. Have fun!
