RE: Mathematics, Prime Numbers, & Looping with the EDP

["Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com>]

Want to make it really challenging? Use the prime number method for
loops, but make it a 12-tone composition....not "jack" 12 tone, but the
Schoernberg method of using a row and matrix, etc. 

...sorry, count me out of this one. Heh heh. :) Sounds like it has
Excedrin written all over it....make your brain explode. Great for a
left brainer, hell for a right brainer (maybe).

Love this discussion.  What I wonder, though, is would it be possible to
weave a melody using the prime sequence (or, ooh, the Fibonacci
sequence) as note intervals?  And, what would be better, using the
sequence numbers as scale intervals or as frequency ratios?  Then
combine that with the rythmical divisions.

I don't know how it'd sound, but it'd be an interesting exercise. :)
