Does anyone recognise the equation from the Aphex Twin track?
∆Mᵢ⁻¹=−α ∑ Dᵢ[η][ ∑ Fjᵢ[η−1]+Fextᵢ [η⁻¹]]
With the ∆M and the sum over Fs, I wondered if it might be something to do with rocket dynamics derived from Newton's second law?
- trelliscoded 5y agoIt's pseudomathematical nonsense. The Fji term might be a hint about the image hidden in the track when plotted on a spectrogram, but the rest of it doesn't make much sense. You can see the original title here: https://i.discogs.com/YC8CLuli-NW3VB5z7eA9mALjnL2Qef4aGyDYH4u8mgw/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:472/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTM4NTI2/ODMtMTM0Njk0MDQ2/Mi0zOTExLmpwZWc.jpeg https://i.discogs.com/YC8CLuli-NW3VB5z7eA9mALjnL2Qef4aGyDYH4... As an example, why would the index of the last term be inverted like that? Maybe it's supposed to mean something phonetically, but I'm not a music person so I can't figure it out.
- joe__f 5y agoOh I didn't realise the eta was the index, I was reading the sum as over i on the right hand side
