I've always sort of hoped that Jazz was a genre of music that programmers would most easily relate to. Jazz artists are a bit like the hackers of musical theory. I mean, they are able to disassemble a tune and effectively piece it back together again in new and interesting ways, often times on the fly.
Coleman pioneered free jazz which took even that to a new level, pretty much ignoring all the rules.
This man was a giant.
- shas3 11y agoThere's an album, 'Codebook' by alto saxophonist and composer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, which is laden with mathematical concepts. It isn't the most pleasant album to listen to, but it is interesting and intriguing to listen to the starkness of music set to mathematical objects of curiosity. https://pirecordings.com/album/pi21 https://pirecordings.com/album/pi21 Here's an article on him, he apparently had a lot of interest in mathematics in high school and tries to incorporate some of that in his music.
