#phish

Cryptography and music have a deep connection. At the core is a Finite Field.

In music the finite field is {A,B,…..,G} where no matter what operation you wish to do on a note, you always end up back in the field, perhaps at a different octave, perhaps not.

A band called Phish, whose name represents an attack on privacy, might be the key that bridges the gap between thesE two disciplines. Their lyrics are known to be silly, but consider a recent song called Lonely Trip:

When doors are all closed tightly

With words the only keys

You may understand the reason

Why I'm floating on the breeze
