Title: Good Music for Fractal Lovers
Post by: WallyWallWhackr on April 08, 2009, 11:29:07 PM
Hey guys. You should all try out this music.  A lot of it sounds like iteration being crunched.

 It is electroninc music from the early synthesizer days.

  The 'group' is "Synergy". It isn't really a group though, because it is only one dude.  Larry Fast.

  Mostly from the seventies,and he worked with Peter Gabriel on a lot of his albums too.

 Great stuff.

Serialist composers of the 20th century used mathematics explicitly in their compositions. The link above is to an article stating that Milton Babbitt regards Jon Dawe's music as fractal. Babbitt, however, doesn't claim his own to be. I don't know who Jon Dawe's is, but Babbitt, Boulez, and Xenakis are three major math-oriented composers.

....and honestly, the most brilliant composer of all time, I can think of, J.S. Bach.
