Irregular, ecological shapes

Fractals: self-similarity: zoom in and the structure repeats itself
Infinite detail, there’s always more structure at smaller scales

Mandelbrot Set reveals endless complexity, no matter how far you zoom in.

The complexity of ecology goes into the infinite.
It exceeds the ability of the mind to comprehend it, but that does not mean it is unintelligent.

We can connect to ecology in an embodied way, before we’ve had a chance to analyze and understand it

When Lesley and I talk about wildness, or rewilding, what we are aiming for is not a kind of raw, Dionysian frenzy, nor total abandon, so much as a more flexible and open intelligence. The kind of intelligence which is demonstrated in ecology.

Loose togetherness, playing in the pocket

Society = linear, closed systems, rigid, right angles (Euclidean geometry), “clenched”
Ecology = nonlinear, open systems, emergent, fractal geometry

We want to create musical patterns which are empty of inherent, independent existence, yet exist through interdependence

What could be more ecological than music?
