Musical scores I : FRACTAL REVS!!


Here's something I came across in one of my old sketchbooks. They are full of stuff like this, little sketches about new music ideas. They are mostly new ways of inspiring music. So the idea is, if I ever get stuck I can turn to these and spark something out of nothing. 

This idea was to start with a bit of music that then speeds up in tempo, raises in pitch until it resembles a really rapid loop. This then becomes a rhythm and a new bassline and rhythm (or whatever) kicks in with the rapid loop. This then all increases in pitch and rhythm and creates another new loop. Etc etc, each new bit of music becoming a loop that the next bit of music uses.
