    • Music Composed from the patterns in Prime Numbers

    Prime Numbers are those numbers that cannot be divided evenly by any other number except 1. Primes:{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47...} No one has discovered a formula or pattern for predicting the set of prime numbers. In spite of this, Primes are NOT random. They demonstrate many patterns and much symmetry, if you are inclined to look. What follows is the result of weeks of research. These melodies are a "picture" of the natural properties of Prime Numbers arranged in ordered stacks. Like Fractals, Prime Melodies walk the ridge line between Order & Chaos.

    These are midi sound files -- to hear, set helper application to a Media Player (like Windows: MPLAYER Set "mime" to C:\WINDOWS\MPLAYER.EXE)

    JAMES SIEBERT--MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER

    About me:

    I am explorer, researcher, philosopher, scientist. At least in my mind's eye I am all of these things. I love learning, talking, walking, and dialogue. I believe we live in a world delicately poised between order & chaos, and our actions (or nonactions) as trivial as they seem often tip the balance, towards one or the other end. I search for truth in Nature, in relationships, in literature, and within that internal light of the soul--the conscience. Destiny, sometimes harsh, sometimes fortuitous, waits like a vista at the end of a side-trail, holding secrets for only those adventurous enough to discover them. Today, I still find myself carefully forging my way... Solitude is such a strange motivator.
