I have considered use of maths ideas in music before, when thinking of ways to make my work original, though I planned to use it more as a minor dimension of creativity, rather than a central idea.
Glad you liked my music - thanks for commenting!

Your work includes some very delicate and subtle ideas and has interesting structure to it - this appeals to me as a mathematics graduate and I enjoy listening to this kind of thing, though I don't choose to write it myself. I like experimenting when playing my piano, sometimes trying out ideas based on mathematical concepts. Do you ever use that kind of approach?

Hopefully we can make time to chat at the next composium.

Ich war eine Stunde früher am Southbank Centre und habe gewartet und bis 17:30 alles durchsucht, aber niemanden gefunden :( Also bin ich halt wieder abgezogen. Echt schade :( Leider wusste ich nichts von irgendeinem Treffpunkt, gab es einen?

At 2:16pm on October 5, 2010, Tombo Rombo said…: Hello again!

I guess I find the first movement sort of contrived, the stitches show in several spots causing it to sound very "sectional".

I am enjoying your Spring Quintet!

At 4:29am on October 5, 2010, Portia Graves said…: Hi Rudi! Thanks for your comments and the friend request. I love how rhythmic your music is. Miniataur piano piece is great. I'm a fan! :)

At 6:20am on October 3, 2010, Tombo Rombo said…: Hello Rudi!

Glad you enjoyed what I have posted of "The Emancipation Quartet". I didn't post the first movement because I'm not overly fond of it, but oh, what the hay, I'll give it a go. Am listening to Tritiono as I type. The sound is great, love the stereo effects, interesting harmonic language!

At 3:49pm on August 7, 2010, Ann Rodela said…: Hi Rudy. Your Tritono seems to be inspired by a dream. :)

At 1:35pm on June 14, 2010, Kristofer Emerig said…: Hi Rudi,

I just caught Spring Quintet as you uploaded it. Exciting piece and interesting, overlapping metrical textures. As usual, your material takes a couple of listenings to really appreciate.

At 4:04pm on March 29, 2010, Yaiza Varona said…: Dear Rudi,
Your Spring Quintet is so lively and spirited. Ever since the very first bass ostinato, one feels attracted and willing to hear more. I love the pulse always present in your work....thank you so much for sharing this, I enjoy it everytime I listen to it.
Great work Rudi!!!

At 10:54am on March 29, 2010, Simon Wiedemann said…: Hello! Maybe later, I'm really busy at the moment....

At 2:05pm on February 24, 2010, Ario said…: Thanks Rudi for your kind words... looking forward to hearing more.

Also, I enjoyed your music alot (having a listen to mood sixteen).

Regards, Ario

Twilight sounds especially fresh. Your math&music experiments may lead to very profound music; another example of successful applying math in art is Fractal Art. I think you will soon come to greater music form and contrasts. Great work!
