CONCERT TO CELEBRATE THE MATHEMATICIAN PAUL ERDOS
Numbers and music by Emanuel Pimenta

Budapest. August the 13th, 19:00, at the Europa Congress Centre, in
Budapest, Hungary, in the ambit of the Symmetry Festival - an international
Meeting of Science and Art - the Hungarian composer Sandor Fekete-Kiss will
perform the world premiere of ERDOS X, a musical concert composed by Emanuel
Dimas de Melo Pimenta. ERDOS X is a celebration of the famous Hungarian
mathematician Paul Erdos (March 26, 1913 - September 20, 1996). Just after
his death, Erdos' friends created the erdos number as a humorous tribute.
Paul Erdos alone was assigned the erdos number 0, while his immediate
collaborators could claim an erdos number 1, their collaborators have erdos
number at most 2, and so on. Emanuel Pimenta took the letters of the names
of many erdos numbers and used them as the basis for the composition. Those
letters designed the musical sounds that were transformed and prepared for
new transformations in a mathematical non-intentional process, celebrating
the principle of mutual collaboration and friendship.
