This is what pi sounds like. At least, that's one person's interpretation. There are certainly
plenty of others, including
touchtone pi,
hammered dulcimer pi,
violin pi,
smooth techno pi,
crazy awesome pi,
vaguely unsettling pi (sounds best with headphones), and
lots of piano pi. Pi has even done
a duet with its buddy e. Nothing here that tickles your fancy? Think you could do better? Why not
make your own pi song? Hell,
make two! If you're having trouble remembering all those pesky digits, don't worry:
there's a song for that, too.

"This day may be celebrated in a variety of ways. Pause and give thought to the role that the number pi has played in your life. Imagine a world without pi. Attempt to memorise pi to as many decimal places as you can. If you're feeling creative, devise alternative values for pi. Go to a party (I will). Or just celebrate in the time-honoured fashion of ignoring Pi Approximation Day altogether."
Happy Pi Approximation Day.

Very few people will ever need to learn the value of
pi beyond a handful of digits, but some people are more obsessed than others. They call themselves
Piphilologists, and all the pi-memorization writings you could ever possibly want have been compiled into
one massive Piphilogical text file. And today, Piphilologists the world over must surely bow in tribute to Akira Haraguchi, who has just recited pi from memory to
83,431 places.
