Fractal Music Workshops

Harlan Brothers is now offering Fractal Music Workshops to highschools, colleges, and training institutes around the country.  Using the tools of fractal geometry, these workshops offer teachers and students alike the opportunity to explore many of the intimate connections between mathematics and music.


Fractal music paper published

Harlan Brothers' latest research paper recently appeared in the World Scientific Publishing journal Fractals (Vol. 15, No. 1, 2007; pages 89–95).  The article, entitled "Structural Scaling in Bach’s Cello Suite No. 3," reveals musical structure related to the Cantor set and helps to establish a rigorous mathematical approach to this new field of fractal music analysis.
