Hello everyone, I would like to take this opportunity of introducing myself to the OpenSIPS community. I am Tushar Aggarwal, a third year undergraduate from BITS Pilani Hyderabad, India.
I am a prospective GSoC student and have identified the project "Going Beyond Equal Temperament in Music Blocks" as something that piques my interest and lies within my capabilities. I am self taught musician and know music theory as well. I believe equal temperament lies at the heart of modern western music theory. It is important for the users to "feel the difference" between various temperament. It is in this regard I would like to start contributing. From a coding perspective I looked at the code base and saw that we have defined notes which are equal. As a first step we would have to change that to achieve different temperament. Beyond that I have no clue on how this problem can be implemented. It would help if I could be assigned some introductory tasks. I have also gone through the material provided in the project description. Any additional resource will be appreciated as well(considering I am well versed with music theory). I have been heavily influenced by the book "Mathematics & Music" by James S. Walker. Its an abstract idea as of now but I was wondering if we could introduce music theory concepts using maths. For example we can introduce notes as being part of a geometric progression and how selecting certain notes (which are in ratio like C:E is 5:4). Let me know if this is something which excites the community and if someone can help me write a new proposal(if new proposals are accepted in the first place). I look forward to interacting with all the developers and contributing to the organization to the best of my abilities. Regards, Tushar Aggarwal (tushar1997 on IRC)
