What ties together Lissajous knots, the harmonic polyrhythms of Theremin's rhythmicon, and a way of adding sounds to Pendulum waves? And what are Sloth Canon Musical sequences? One of my first posts here was on the "Music and mathematics of sloth canon sequences", about the sloth canon sequences of Tune Smithy and the related musical and mathematical sequences of the Danish composer Per Nørgård.Today, I've just launched a kickstarter to get my Windows programs running on the Mac, and thought, that it's a good opportunity to talk a bit more about some of the ideas I've been exploring in my programs, most of them on the interface between music and maths. read more
