Homework 1 - Gyujin Oh

I am a mathematics major, so I used famous irrational numbers as my dataset. Specifically, I used the first 1,700 digits of pi, e, and sqrt(2) as 340 data points with each consisted of 5 consecutive digits. Even though there is no obvious tendency of digits for irrational numbers, there are indeed some long-term properties. I like the concept of several irrational numbers fighting with each other for dominance.

I used pi and e for oscillators, and sqrt(2) for reverbs/filters. I used low-pass filters to prevent so-called "clicks." Pi and e are in charge of amplitude and frequency, and sqrt(2) is in charge of the mix of reverb, time duration and the frequency of low-pass filter. Note that the more the reverb, the longer the note.
