Fractal music is a result of a recursive process where an algorithm is applied multiple times to process its previous output. In wider perspective all musical forms, both in micro and macro level can be modeled with this process. Fractals provide extremely interesting musical results, and the field is becoming one of the most exciting fields of new music research. Fractal music enthusiasts are encouraged to publish their works here. Links to physics, mathematics, algorithms and artificial intelligence, and further ideas concerning these pages are also welcomed.
