We began this project with a bizarre idea that got weirder as time went on. The initial thought was to produce sound from fractal images, and to attempt to correlate the sounds in some way to the iterations of the fractal; to see if the music was fractal as well. We spent some time goofing around with this prospect before Professor Loring suggested something better. Something way weirder. We should make the music fractal and see what we could create in that fashion.

So, using the Koch Curve as our object of emulation, we fashioned our music thus:
