Chord Progressions

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

A programmer's code-first guide derives music theory from sound wave math

A developer who struggled with traditional music instruction wrote a tutorial that builds music theory from scratch using code, starting with a single oscillating number representing air pressure. The piece shows how the twelve-note system, scales, and chords can be derived computationally from physics and arithmetic rather than memorized as arbitrary convention, using simple audio programming examples like sine wave oscillators.
