nikolas Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi. I'm looking for the name of a composer (Finish I think, or something like that), who crafted/created the never ending series. A series of pitches, which was constantly changing, created by the previous, by some coherent change in the intervals. Any ideas who he is and further links, please? you would be most helpful.

jujimufu Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Per Norgard? The infinity row? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_N%C3%B8rg%C3%A5rd http://www.pernoergaard.dk/eng/strukturer/uendelig/uindhold.html http://www.pernoergaard.dk/eng/indhold.html Voyage into the Golden Screen and his 3rd symphony are pieces where he's used it very extensively, and not just in terms of pitches, but also in terms of orchestration, rhythm (note durations, but also structural rhythm) and harmony. I like the idea, but I think the fact that he thinks he's writing "universal music" is a bit silly. I like how that row is like a fractal, where you find the row inside the row itself (if you take every fourth/eleventh/blabla number of the row, it's the same row again, etc).
