This audio explores the intricate relationship between Pythagorean and Just-Intonation scales, using the medium of sound effects and synthesis. It begins with the resonant tones of the Pythagorean scale, a mathematical system of tuning based on the ratios discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician, Pythagoras. The audio then smoothly transitions to the mellower, more harmonically rich Just-Intonation scale, an alternative tuning system that aims to produce pure intervals between each note. As the audio progresses, the abstract and complex concepts of these two tuning systems are elegantly illustrated through the use of sound effects. The listener is taken on a journey through the contrasting scales, with the subtle differences in tone and harmony highlighted. The synthesized sounds lend a futuristic and otherworldly feel to the audio, further enhancing the listener's experience. Towards the end, the audio investigates the relationship between the Pythagorean, Just-Intonation, and
