"Brady Haran over at Numberphile has brought us an amazing experimental track based on Pi. Everything follows patterns of the irrational number, and the result is a mind-blowing progressive rock song. This expands upon the concept first tried with the Golden Ratio song. Notice the length of the video?"

Sorry, I didn't use the full quote, it ends with:
The 12-TET is a local minimum regarding the approximation to the ratios, the next best approximation is the 53-TET (with 31 and 41 coming close). They are, however, full of dissonant intervals, so most of the notes would never be used anyways. The 1% is not an arbitrary choice, it just happens to be within 1%, all near possibilities are much worse than 1%.
