Abstract
As a matter of fact, algorithmic composition, the fusion of computational methods with music creation, has a rich history dating back to Pythagoras. On this basis, this paper explores the innovative intersection of mathematics, algorithms, and music, focusing on the translation of Pi's digits into a musical composition. Through a combination of manual and automated techniques, the research successfully crafts a melody using the minor pentatonic scale and traditional Chinese instruments, enriched by an algorithmically generated counter-melody. According to the analysis, the study reveals both the potential and limitations of this approach, with the fixed nature of the accompaniment and strict adherence to the pentatonic scale constraining musical diversity. Nevertheless, the research offers a novel perspective on mathematical representation in music, contributing to the broader field of algorithmic music composition. The findings open new avenues for personalized music creation, educational tools, and artistic exploration, highlighting the limitless possibilities when art and science converge.
