Self similarity is the essence of fractal geometery .
Twigs look like branches , look like trees . It ocurred to me one evening that if I could build some music which incorporated the same sorts of self similar, recursive themes repeated on top of each other over and over again with minor, random variations in the rhythm, I might me able to create something which, even if it didn't sound that great, would at least sound interesting. So, for the next twelve hours I sat, strapped to my desk in front of a rickety old Mac IIvx, fiddling with Macromind's sound-edit pro. If there is such a musical category as lo-fi paranoid trance then this is its defining piece. I hope you enjoy it, even though at such a compression you lose quite a bit.
