Hi Pi Day!
To celebrate, you’re invited on a journey in search of patterns in the randomness of the putatively infinitely-expressed ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Keith Jarrett famously searched for patterns in the randomness of his 1975 solo improvisation performance in Köln, Germany. With a recording of that concert as a guide, WNHH FM’s “Dateline New Haven” explored more than 3,000 of pi’s digits in search of new patterns.

The Koln concert was a great performance, but set to the lyrics of Paul Bass reciting Pi numbers took the concert to a whole new level. Paul Bass is wasting his talents in journalism, he should have been a singer.
