🎼17 April 1964. Happy Birthday🥳🍾 to Maynard James Keenan, a huge vegetables grower and marketer and winemaker from Arizona, USA ! His granparents were winemakers from North Italy, and he was born James Herbert Keenan in a small town in Ohio called Ravenna 😃
Ah, he is also the founder and leader of progressive post alternative industrial art rock metal (call it whatever they are fantastic anyway) bands such as Tool, Puscifer, A Perfect Circle.
He has been recently hit twice by Covid-19, severely suffering from pneumonia... therefore in the Chat Room👇I chose a fantastic suite from the last Tool album for my best wishes to Maynard🎂: it's called Pneuma, a term which has to do not only with breath, but with soul, spiritual life and recover instead 👍
And of course if you have any favorite song from Maynard... please post them 😃

📜🎶1222. 800 years ago Leonardo Bonacci from #Pisa, #Italy, later worldwide known as Fibonacci, introduced his numbers sequence, still today one of the most used and referred formulas in mathematics.

#Fibonacci was son of the most important merchant in Pisa at the time, and he travelled for years in North Africa and Middle East countries for trading. His passion for numbers grew in those years and he is considered the main "responsible" for introducing the "Indo-Persian-Arabic" numbering system (1-9) in Europe and in the Western world.
He added to it the "0" which was unknown: 👉 Venice (another prominent Maritime Republic in the Mediterranean, longtime rival of Pisa) later named this figure as "zero".

The #FibonacciSequence (today denoted as "Fn") is a sequence of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...)
Later studies confirmed that this sequence can be found everywhere in nature 🌳 and applied in all fields of life, from physics, to medicine, to economy...

The Fibonacci Sequence was often applied in Cassical Music too, by "translating" numbers into notes which resulted in repeating the same sequence after 16 notes... uncountable examples can be found in modern music too, especially in Progressive Rock.
This track👇🎧 is presented as one of today examples, Lateralus by #Tool: I'm not a musician so I confess I don't quite get it, but I'm sure some musician here can help.
