Ask HN: About music, scales, intervals, mathematics, musical interfaces
I can't find a post which i'm quite sure i found here.
The article was posted in hackernews, and started with some simple acoustics, mathematics and elementary music theory. I don't think there was too much about harmony in it.
Probably there were mentions of the circle of fifths though.
At some point the writer diverted to a road describing certain ideas about how the western music was also shaped by the ergonomy of the instruments used and finally he introduces his idea own for a new interface.
The article was a little bit too hard for me to ubderstand i whole, but i'd like to give it an other try.
Please help me finding it again, and excuse my english writing.. :-)

I guess, I was a bit off with my description. It still is really hard for me to understand as a musician only. I was having a discussion with my wife about why the western music is the way it is, and couldn't remember the name of the article. Anyways, have fun !
