Statement

I have composed the music "Variation 2 Periodic Table in C major". I converted electron's number in each electron shell of elements into musical notes. I adopted an idea from Binary Music of Mr. Alex Altair to describe the electron number. I changed an electron numbers to binary number form. Then I converted binary numbers into musical notes.
