Abstract
While much research has been carried out regarding the potential aesthetic value of
the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio (FS and GR) in
the field of visual art, as of yet the field of music has seemingly
little to offer in comparison. Researchers have tended to concentrate
on deciphering individual applications, rather than
on the perhaps more interesting question of whether FS and GR
could hold some potential merit in music. Their research focus
is partially due to the context in which composers have used FS
and GR and their method of application, which more often than
not has tended to drastically obscure the mathematical objects
they are using. In the proposed dissertation, compositional
criteria would be given for a new style I call the style of music
characterized by mathematical objects fundamentally related to
the Fibonacci sequence. The dissertation would
conclude with a unique scientific study - utilizing the strict criteria of the style
- with the purpose of determining
whether sonified mathematical objects related to FS and
GR are more aesthetically pleasing than unrelated mathematical
objects. The study would involve the comparison of sonifications
of FS- and GR-related mathematical objects and analog mathematical
objects unrelated to FS and GR.
