I've thought about a "music" in
which notes might have "fractal

really 8 simultaneous (or non-simultaneous) 32nd notes, each having a
frequency that is some fractally-derived distance from the base quarter
note's frequency, and perhaps their timing/duration could also be
fractally derived ... I don't suppose someone knows of such a thing
already being done?
Sounds an interesting idea, but I would think it'd be a nightmare to
produce!
Thank you all for the fascinating responses. I was visualizing it more
on a score, with a "zoom" to see the sub-components of the quarter note.
I imagine that "quarter" note playing would be a bit richer and change
dynamically as its component 32nd notes played ... will have to look
into this sometime!
