about

This composition evolved out of experiments with self-similarity and geometric proportion in pitch, rhythm and structure. The word “mod” in the title relates to the modulation and modulo - two terms that relate to processes featured in the essential rhythmic development of this composition. One of the experiments that preceded (and inspired) the composition of Mod Times involved the application of modulo to the common process of rhythmic diminution and augmentation. Follows are a series of four geometric diagrams that illustrate an example of such experiments, with rhythm plotted on the outer wheel, and pitch on the inner wheel. The entire geometric basis of the composition is illustrated in a video available from my web site.
