On the contrary, perhaps the beauty lies in the nature of the composition. Perhaps the mind possesses such ability because fractals are an underlying principle of nature. Fractal music can be produced with the Musical Generator program. A musical generator assigns numbers to music. The numbers can come from equations, pictures, or text.
Vectors represent a stream of numbers.
In this manner, each pixel from a fractal image can be converted into a specific musical note. 14 Many different types of fractals can be used and each can be adjusted in an infinite amount of ways to create weird, crazy, or beautiful music. In summary, we hope that we have elucidated many ideas about fractals, music, noise, and their combination in an aesthetically pleasing manner. We certainly learned a lot in the process. In gaining a physical understanding of music and sound, we received a greater appreciation for music.
