NOTES

This collection of tracks, released for Pi Day 2015 celebrates the number Pi as a connective force in the space of mathematics, art and culture.

This year's Pi Day is extra special because 3/14/15 points to the first five digits of Pi, making it the Pi Day of the century. So in response to this unique moment, multi-disciplinary mathartist John Sims is releasing a three track CD called, 31415: The Pi Collection. The first track is the breakout single, “31415: The Pi Day Anthem,” featuring John Sims and mathmusician and youtube sensation Vi Hart covering the first 170 digits of Pi in a spoken digit duet. This track has been made into a music video that will launch on Youtube. The second track,“SquareMoon: A Binary Pi”, a dance piece combines the spoken digits of binary Pi over house beats. With the late virtuoso Kenny Drew Jr. on piano, the final track is an experimental jazz/blues/electronica mashup called “BluePi: The Sigma Remix”, based on the mapping of Pi into the key of B-flat. Each track on the CD is timed exactly at 03:14.
