The Sound of (Bear) Music
June 1, 2009

Hi Doug,

Found your website very interesting. The graph of the 4 bears is fascinating.

I would like to plot that data into a tone generator and thus make a tune ;-) (will probably sound like a Stuka bomber)

Is it possible for you to let me have the data?

How could I resist? The next day I received an email from lnxrlz007 with four mp3 files attached. If your computer can play this file type, click the links below to hear the unique (but strangely similar) melodies of our Four Bad Bears. At first I thought these were atonal, but after repeated listening, I think I detect the key of Ursa Major.

I wonder what they'd sound like as four-voice polyphony?
