Deep Thoughts, by Finney

"When we consider how the Fibonacci Series relates to music you must think of our "octave":
It's made up of 12 + 1 (13 including the octave) chromatic tones.
We consider the semi-tone (1) and whole tone (2 semi-tones) to be building blocks of diatonic scales.
Pentatonic scales are 5 tones.
Diatonic scales are 8 tones.
The 1st, 3rd, and 5th tones in the diatonic scale are the building blocks of root chords.
I could go on to demonstrate the influence that the Fibonacci series has had in music...but it's likely better (if you're not convinced) to trust me that i know what i'm talking about"
