We know the interval of a tritone today as "diabolus in musica," or the devil in music, but was it really always associated with evil? Are all of those metal musicians right in thinking that this interval is the sound of evil incarnate?

In the 17th century, Athanasius Kircher described an instrument with which we humans have had an intense and abiding fascination. Why? Well, it's either for its taboo nature, or because we just think it's the funniest thing on the planet.

Tuning A to 432 hz may yield the answers to the question that so many people ask themselves - why does my music not feel the way that I hear in my head? Why is it that so much of the music that I hear out in the real world feels so...plastic-y and false when I know it could be so much more? Actually, no it won't yield those answers. It's basically just a big new age circle jerk. But the weird internet obsession with A=432 does bring up some interesting questions about the history of how we got to our current standard, A=440, and why some people might dabble in lower tuning systems.
