Description: Digital versions shared here before “The Aural Ecstasy of Beethoven’s Deaf Ear” Oil on canvas 12x12” Completion date 6/9/2012 My latest integrating both 2D and 3D fractals Many know that Beethoven went deaf while he was still composing, but few, musicians, musicologists or mathematicians know that he used a fractal structure in his music. Since symphonies and concerti use sonata form, they also have the same type of hierarchical structure. The type of structuring where the smallest unit is echoed similarly into larger and larger encompassing units is often called architectonic in music and is virtually the definition of a fractal. Both, parts of Beethoven’s 9th symphony and Beethoven's piano Sonata no. 15, op. 28, third movement (Scherzo) consist of musical structures which form a Sierpinski's triangle. Depicted are the forms heard in Beethoven’s deaf ear, including to the left, Sierpinski's triangle. Dedicated to anyone who has ever had their hair stand up from hearing a piece of music.

LMarkoya | June 12, 2012, 01:53:30 AM Yes it IS an oil painting, and the fine detail is realized with a REALLY, REALLY fine brush:D And a lot of patience |
cKleinhuis | June 12, 2012, 12:52:15 AM it actually IS oil painting! how come yout fit those fine structures to the canvas ?! |
Madman | June 11, 2012, 07:12:24 PM You add another dimension to fractal art, Louis! Your oil paintings really make fractals much more alive. This might be the way to make fractal art more popular to the general public! Absolutely great! |
KRAFTWERK | June 11, 2012, 10:22:58 AM A lovely piece of art Louis, I can see the music, almost touch it. And even the dynamic fog is transferred onto the canvas... Great work my friend! |
