Eine Kleine Knock Music: GE Engineer Used Music Theory to PreventEngine Damage, Then Turned Sounds of Engine Trouble into Music
Good engineers have many handy tools hanging from their belts. Jeff Bizub has a degree in music theory. “Music theory is the engineering behind the art,” Bizub says. He used the theory to build a software version of his ear. It listens for knocking sounds inside massive GE engine cylinders. The sounds herald errant gas explosions that can cause cracks and severe engine damage. Bizub transcribed his knocking recordings into notes and set them in a short musical piece titled Knock Music.
MOSCOW, RUSSIA---GE (NYSE: GE) and OJSC Rosneft, a leader in Russia's petroleum industry, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that lays the foundation for the two companies to jointly evaluate and develop commercial opportunities in oil and gas exploration and production in the Russian Federation.
