Of the band's name origins, the band have stated in radio interviews that they had decided on "The Accidentals" because of the accidental note in music, which is denoted by a pitch that is not a member of the scale or mode that is specified by the most recently applied key signature, and the coincidental qualities behind its relation to their meeting each other by chance. On May 21, 2012, the Accidentals released their self-produced debut full-length album, "Tangled Red and Blue".

Scientific pitch notation frequencies, in other words, standard concert pitch and twelve-tone equal temperament). When a piano is tuned to just intonation, C refers to the same key on the keyboard, but a slightly different frequency. Mathematically, given the number formula_1 of semitones above middle C, the fundamental frequency in hertz is given by formula_2 (see twelfth root of two). Given the MIDI NoteOn number formula_3, the frequency of the note is normally formula_4 Hz, using standard tuning. Scientific pitch (q.v.) is an absolute pitch "standard", first proposed in 1713 by French physicist Joseph Sauveur. It was defined so that all Cs are
