B Flat

[angischy]

This is an interesting article/podcast about the note B♭ and how it occurs repeatedly out in the world . . .

Have You Heard About B Flat? (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7442915)

For example, if you play a B Flat to a pit of alligators, they bellow.
(Wanna try this out at Langerado, anyone? Gator Bait?

b flat huh?

I'm not so musical that I can think of what B flat sounds like. So I went to this virtual thing,
http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/music/piano/steel_drums.htm

I chose steel drums, pretty ain't she?- but it doesn't go a whole octave below middle C-
I was trying to figure if B flat played a big part in Oh Yeah by Yello. remember that one? it was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
My dog used to bellow for that, everytime. I don't know if that's reason --probably not. In a similar fashion the cats would howl when I played the sax or the accordian, I know I was playing more than just B flats, probably just triggered their pain receptors. haha

I think it's pretty neat, all the patterns in nature, that'd be a cool thing to study-
the mathematics of the world, phi, spirals, stuff like that. I was just looking up spirals- like sunflowers, seahells, horns, galaxies- and then I read this about fractals, just think of it,
capitalAfuckinAmazing, check this-

*Shapes and forms that look similar under any magnification are known as fractals. Numerous apparently irregular natural phenomena display approximate self-similarity, meaning that similar patterns and details recur at smaller and smaller scales. This applies, for example, to the branching of lightning, rivers, trees, and human lungs. Other fractal objects include the chambered nautilus, a head of cauliflower, coastlines, clouds, snowflakes, and rocks (a magnified rock can look like an entire mountain).
