Interpreting a Sierpinski Triangle Fractal as musical notes sounds good
This is more complex than pentatonic noodling, but I agree with other posts that this sounds the way it does mostly because of the choices made by the interpreter.  The crucial choice was that every pixel of sierpinski’s triangle is a note in a major scale. All sierpinskis triangle encodes is the ordinal rank of the notes, everything else is added by the choice of how to translate it into the musical space. If the mapping were to a 12-tone chromatic scale and the result were somehow tonal with interesting harmonies that would be really remarkable. Even then though the 12 tone scale is an interpretation of tonality from western music.<p>That said even if it’s not a sign of the hand of god it’s still pretty cool…
