Fractals in the Music of Carla Bley | s c o r e s t u d y 0 3 

Well that was a DELIGHT! Nice work!!

I was binge watching Carla Bley vidz and this came up...... *mind blown*

Brian _____ As a 'Musical 'newbie' at 77', I consider 'You, and 'Adam Neely' 'the Hope for the World', in your sharing of your Intellects. 'Fractals'... was great !

Adam Neely did a shoutout to you. Your content is amazing!

This is just amazing - Adam nailing the Steve Swallow plectrum technique

Go away, Soulless collector of 20th Century genius works.

thanks for this. Carla was such a genius. (Joyce is th'bomb)

Thank you Adam Neely for sending us to this channel!

... superb !!! I should have had access to this 50 years ago (no kiddin' ...!) !

Carla was one of the most important composers / band leaders of the 20th century. And all that as a woman - well, Maria Schneider could tell us about that ...

There's a piece called "Waiting For Kate" by one of my old professors, Rick DiMuzio, which matches exactly the concept you're talking about here. I've been obsessed with it for that reason, so it's really great that you went deep on it here. This was a great video! Always good to see Adam pop up too!

I LOVE this Brian Krock, and his drawing together the fractal qualities of Bley with Finnegans Wake! If we had a son, I would want him to be Brian!!

Enjoyed your analysis very much. One slight point though. Musique Mecanique was released in 1979, not 1969. In 1969 she was still in the process of the three year project of Escalator Over the Hill. Perhaps someone else has already pointed this out? Terrific work in any case.

I loved this video. Carla really is one of the greatest

Being very familiar with fractals, this was a delight! Great video. Love the topic-blending. Less artificial seperation and more holistic thinking... Love it!

This is so fascinating. So happy to have found your great channel. Can't wait to binge all the videos

This was an absolute joy - just saw the ending, clever the whole way through - keep making things and I'll keep watching.

Cool vid.Thanks

so fucking good holy fuck im on a binge

Really cool videos! . Nice to have found your channel

I've been trying to find the lyrics to Jesus Maria for ages! Thank you!

Fascinating stuff!

Amazing work! I love the directions you went in!

Fantastic content!! Thx so much.

Great job!

Good to see Adam Neely in your video.

Thank you, Sir Brian

Great video! I am also obsessed with fractals. I found the form of John Adams’ Fearful Symmetries to be a fractal of cascading climaxes

I think it's important to mention that the widely accepted definition of a fractal (at least at the University of Utah, where i got my degree in math) is much more general than that you have presented in this video. Fractals are lines which have dimensionality between 1 and 2 - this is particularly weird because we normally discuss dimensions in terms of natural numbers (1,2,3... so on and so forth) The fractals that you refer to (like the sierpinski triangle or the mandelbrot set) are what are called self similar fractals - fractals that display the same shape on a macro and micro scale. However, these fractals account for an incredibly minute amount of possible fractals. Most fractals that exist are NOT self similar (like the butterfly fractal from the Voltera Lotka model of population, or the fractal which describes the coastline of Britain). It's a somewhat pedantic distinction to make, but I thought i'd point it out for funsies.

amazing video!

"And he grew / grew grew and grew / grew up to be / grew up to be / A boy named Brian / Not a girl named Brian"

Great content! I'd love it, if the soundeffects and the voice were the same volume.

10:04 thesauri my good man.

lol nice very cvol thx

well yeah... there's the key... did these artist do it unconsiously or was it fully intended. or maybe they saw it later on (before someone else pointed it out). was the word fractal even in use when joyce wrote? what about the enigma variations? maybe i'm sorry i asked that...

dat moustache...

Very well done video. Wouldn’t fractals just be another term for theme and variations that’s been done forever? Sonata/fugue form. How is it different?

Adam Neely brought me here. James Joyce's name drop got me to stay.

don ellis hey jude bro my guy

14:01 simpsons. simpsons

You look like Chris hadfield

"Hay-soos" is "Jesus" pronounced in spanish

Hmm.. Honestly not sure I'm seeing fractals.. Self referencial yes.. But a degree of self similar of orders of magnitude..? Wouldn't heysoos be pronoucned heySoos..? not heyZeus..?

Absurd stretches of logic and nonsensical parsing.

She is just borrowing the intro from Satie's Gymnopedie!
