Creation of sound and
music can be described as shaping time in a specific way. There is
obviously a close connection between the composition of music and
theories
of time. The use of computer programs beginning with numerical
structures such as fractals can be seen as a kind of counting process
because of its recursive character: the choice of a certain number
depends on an existing earlier number. This is quite similar to
relating events progressing in time whose starting point is still
present and necessary for further development. Time related by
numerical structures is heard as music with a "Gestalt" of its own.
