This is pretty cool, even if by good it just means consonant. I happen to use fractals a fair bit in my own musical experiments, and I do it with a specific synth module called a fractal sequencer from Bloom. It takes a scale, a sequence length, a root sequence, and then various depths of mutations and iterates them. There is something about the way our minds select and sort information from noise that it's just complex enough to entrain the listeners attention where it seems predictable but it isn't, and it has just enough texture to create satisfying tension and release. My use of it has been pretty coarse and I just record live sessions without any composition, but as I get more competent with it, I could see some formal fractal techniques emerging. Technically it's noise, but 1/f or recursive noise, and consonant instead of the dissonant noise we think of when we hear random music.
