digits of pi to the base 12?

Because the chromatic scale is base12.

It might feel more natural to do this with 'e' (2.718...)

[Doug Schwarz]
The chromatic scale is based on one twelfth powers of two, i.e., if
the frequency of a note in the scale is f(n), then the frequency of
the next note is given by f(n+1) = f(n) * 2^(1/12)
This easy view of things has been known for a long time, but has only
been popular
[Bengt Richter]
It might also be interesting to keep a running sum of the base 12
values and use sum % 88 to select piano keys, to let it walk intervals
outside of a single octave ;-)
The generated would then run from the low octaves to high octaves
monotically, then start over again and

gmpy.pi() uses the Brent-Salamin Arithmetic-Geometric Mean formula for
