    If you divide 10 by 3 you encounter infinity. This video was inspired by Andrew Crane’s picture 0.333*.

    Mathematics meets spirituality.

  • 4 Pieces of Abstract Music

    Why “Abstract Music”? This music is “just” music. Signifying nothing else:  no feelings, no thoughts, nothing to dance to. Just sounds and rhythmical structures revolving around each other within a mathematical frame.

    These pieces are more than 10 years old. Once I had mapped out and set the mathematical relationships between tones I let my old Atari ST run and run and the musical textures evolved by themselves.

    The Atari was linked via MIDI with a Roland device with a preset of sampled sounds.

    I still listen to these pieces for relaxation and meditation or if I want to purify my musical imagination to hear something totally different.

    Originally these pieces were called “Abstract Flow 1 to 4″. But as they are all individual to me I came up with these names.
