[SPEC] Whipsmart Music

[Rob_Riv]

turn the music off on the 'pastures green' page (via the flower) then every so often a little tune plays.. which also sounds like it could be played via the trees..

[Sasuntsi Davit]

I don't think the trick is with the trees, because on the main page, I think about 3 trees play the same note, for every note.

However, after switching off the music I realised that each cow makes a differently pitched 'moo', and just rolling over them in order from left to right plays a tune that sounds similar to the main song. However, it gets really annoying trying to figure out how to play the tune...

Ok... so the way I see it...
Green Pastures

the milkmaid song is EGDGGFEGCEG (although on my computer at least its about a quarter step sharp but whatever)

I'm working on trying to play it with the trees. While chords play with each passover there is an accented note on each tree. This is really irritating, but I feel like I have to at least try it.

Web savy types out there-- could a flash page like this link to something else if certain events were triggered in a certain order? Or am I wasting my time?

The range of notesvis very limited though. Only A-G, what words can be made or indeed how could we try to decipher them (assuming they are a message)...it would be disapointing if there is no puzzle here yet

Yes, infact by the time you spend 1 second on a (loaded) page you have probably triggered more events than you know. Just because nothing appears to happen - doesn't mean something's not happening, or being notated.

I cannot read music in real-time, I do not have perfect pitch. If Uptownishnyc has perfect pitch and the transcription is accurate then these notes are found in CMaj and Fmaj. (ef#g#a#bc#d#EF#G#A#BC#D#) C and F are each a fifth from one another. 0.20 or 1/5? If my theory skills missed some keys caveat emptor!

There are also music systems other than Western, which I recognize as 12 semi-tone chromatic, and heavily European(western)-centric.

And there are different standards of Concert Pitch, 220 cycles per/second (CPS/Hz) is a nice A, but many guitarists tune down so they may more easily accompany their music vocally. This is a digital file - I suspect it will be pitch perfect. Note that when ascending (going up) an octave the CPS rate doubles to 440, then 880, etc. The reverse is true when descending (220, 110, 55...)

Ice comes in cubes.
Whip is whisking(spinning/ROTating) in some fashion
Smart is how one whips to be good, easy enough to 'say'

EGDGGFEGCEG - (hums this repeatedly)

Eh, what do you want from cows? Brahms?

[Edit - since someone found there are no action commands in the file - let me add that this sounds nice accompanied by c f g7 in a lazy, moseying country western kind of digital way.]

Just posted this in another thread but thought I'd do it here too. The prominent notes on the main page from left to right are:

middle C, E, G, top G, top C, top E, middle C, top G, middle C, top G, top C, E, G, G, top G

The trees on the Pastures Green page play (from left to right)

middle C, E, top C, G, G, top G, top C, top E, G, E.

The rainbow plays in a different key, it plays B flat, top E flat, top G and top B flat (if you imagine they're in the same octave the trees are in)

Basically, all the trees play the same four notes, middle C, E, G and top C with the prominent note on top to highlight it.

Also, you can't play the milkmaid's song with the trees because she sings:

F sharp, G sharp, C, E flat, G sharp,
F sharp, F, G sharp, C, F, G sharp

Wild spec: one of the comments made by the bloke in the ice cream shop is about his maids being a 'right handful'. Something about the right hand side of the page, maybe?

Hehe

There could be something in that though can't think what but something

Oh and unhappypanda i meant notes in general (otherwise id be very worried about my sanity...) i'd feel very sorry for musicians, that would be one hell of a lot of notes to learn!

Just so you know someone already checked all this out. There is not secret order for pressing things or with a tune. See this post.

However, there still may be a code or message hidden somewhere. It just isnt interactive.

having looked at what sort of things they do at the Academy, they mention using one medium to represent another, such as music. The page is here http://www.perplexcityacademy.com/departments.html

The only music that's available to us so far is on the whipsmart site, but I don't know about a puzzle...
