Join me today for a geometry lesson accompanied by music! I will have all three members of the band, How Many Hippos, joining me. The first episode is about how each member learned to play their instruments, how they formed the band, and the story behind their unique name. Additionally, we'll explore the inspiration for their songs, what makes their live performances special, and which song they recommend for newcomers.

How Many Hippos (幾何碼) is a band founded in 2023 by YuChia Wang (bass), Shan Lin (piano), and FlyingPP (drums). The band aims to blend elements of breakbeats, drum and bass, and other electronic rhythms into the mainstream and jazz music scenes.

Their musical inspiration is drawn from images, seeking to interpret various visual concepts through timbre, rhythm, melody, and more. Geometry is the primary visual theme they explore, which is why the keyword "geometry" is emphasized. They also incorporate a variety of sounds as codes to represent visual images that they analyze and integrate into their arrangements, making "code" another significant term. This merging of concepts is what "Geometric Code (幾何碼)" signifies.

In Chinese, "Geometric Code" also has a playful pun that translates to "How Many Hippos."
