So, if an interval of 1/1 is played, and it slides gradually wider, to 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 and so on, until it exits the human hearing range, this might be seen as implying 1/0.
So, if an interval of 1/1 is played, and it slides gradually wider, to 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 and so on, until it exits the human hearing range, this might be seen as implying 1/0.
Another way to imply 1/0 might be for a piece of music to be written in an antidiatonic scale with an L:s (Large step size:small step size) ratio of 6:-2 or 5:-3, and to gradually slide that ratio towards 5:-2 throughout the course of the piece.
The listener, however, may hear such a piece as a wall of incomprehensible dissonance, so it might be advisable to use forgiving timbres such as sine waves for such a piece and to keep the slide very gradual to allow their ears time to adjust.
