Fractal Musical Rhythms →

Surprisingly, while rhythm is quite regular, it turns out that it is not as predictable as we might have expected. [...] If you look at the timing of musical notes, they are not as regularly spaced as we might expect and in fact have a certain fractal structure as well. Using a large collection of music that spans centuries, the researchers find that musical rhythm obeys a 1/f pattern, with different types of music being able to fit to this power law (though varying in the exponent of the power law).

More music and math combination fun for you.

H. Parker Shelton

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
