Re: Fractal music (was: keeping loops interesting)

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

My old hyper-prog band (probably the best group of musicians I ever hope to play with) used to say that "Fractal Rock" was the best description of our music...what we meant was that even complicated music with a lot of seemingly random or chaotic elements can make absolute sense. Sometimes it needs to be understood only as a whole, or through repetition (which is an understanding I apply to my own static loops), but then larger patterns can slowly emerge.

I'm building a new site to house all our music, but I have a couple of tunes on my site.... http://www.swanwelder.com/projects/ojas.htm

This is not to be confused with "Fraggle Rock" of course... :-D

Fractal loops seems to be the way to go...
    

My ears always perk up when someone mentions Fractals (or any other related
math stuff.) Could you elaborate a bit on this?  Fractal in what way?
