And presumably he thinks that the harmonic scale developed in Western culture has some kind of fundamental significance? I think that kind of thing can be fun as long as people realise that it has no underlying meaning or mathematical significance.
By the way I'm not sure that the digits of pi really are random. They don't repeat, that has been proved, but asking whether they are random leads down a rabbit hole. I would say that the digits of pi are not random as there is a formula for finding the nth digit of pi, allbeit in hexadecimal, but nature doesn't favour base 10.
