In musical terms, the pitch of the sound generated by the black hole translates into the note of B flat. But, a human would have no chance of hearing this cosmic performance because the note is 57 octaves lower than middle-C. For comparison, a typical piano contains only about seven octaves. At a frequency over a million billion times deeper than the limits of human hearing, this is the deepest note ever detected from an object in the Universe.

This thread seems to be about merging musical performance with that yoga of sound and even going beyond that to a musical physics or a musical approach to any human discipline. Intriguing.
"Art for art's sake, with no purpose, for any purpose perverts art. But art achieves a purpose which is not its own. (1804)" — Benjamin Constant
Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.

I think using the term solfeggio in regard to all this is misleading, though. It's like using the golfing term "putting" to talk about ballistics. My two cents worth.

Hawk is a very boring poster. You'd be surprised how many threads he's killed... just about any time numbers come up in a topic, along comes hawk and... crickets.

K, I've done a lot more research. I'd like to point out that this booming thread mysteriously disappeared and died right after the CIA comment from hawk123. Interesting.
