“Composing with Chaos: Applications of a New Science to Music”
by David Little
“In this presentation, I will give an overview of the new chaos sciences, and show where they may be of application to composers with examples chosen from my own work.”
“Originally developed as a navigational tool for ships, the Mercator map is valuable because it shows certain nautical routes (so-called “rhumb lines”) as straight lines, and can be published to fill a neatly portable, rectangular sheet of paper. As a consequence of showing the round earth in this flattened format, the most popular version of the Mercator map shrinks the size of Africa, inflates the size of Greenland, makes North “up” and South “down,” slices off a piece of Russia, and shows the Atlantic shipping lanes between Europe and America as the center of the world. ”

4D Type, 2011 by Lo Siento from Spain
“4D Typography is the result of intersectioning, in an orthogonal way in space, two extrusions of the same character, which allows the spectator to read it from, minimum, two different positions in space.
An observer searching to enjoy a particular architecture, is forced to move around and through it. The change in perspective generates new spaces in which light acts in different ways. In this case, it is the typography who makes the effort of abandoning its two dimensions to approach the architectural sense. It does not resign with a third dimension; a fourth one is necessary to complete the reading possibilities. By hanging the typography, the reader is allowed to surround the characters in order to understand all their shapes.”
