pulsations are well ordered, only the density too high for our ears
and too little time in succession beating creates the false
perception of chaos.

PARTICULARITIES
Pome symphonique
Multiple simultaneous sonorous plans
with constant progress.
Metronome,
an
annex
and
coercive instrument used strictly for
ordination during the study is
transformed into a machine of
chaos.
Form develops through expansion contraction relation (connection) or
explosion implosion.
Continuum
Two sonorous plans
in varied
deployment.
The evolution of form is ensured by
alternation between moments of
synchronization and dephasing of
the two plans.
Has a shape that reminds of sonata
form,
the
three
sections
corresponding to the exhibition,
development,
respectively
recapitulation,
retrieving
characteristics that are similar to
those of the definition of classical
form.

CONCLUSIONS
Gyrgy Ligeti, it seems, has benefited from a form of synesthesia
more complex than is usual for other composers (color sound
connection). The music is associated including to the math , not in a
"naive" according to him words, but in one kind of consubstantiality.
Because otherwise you cannot justify that Pom symphonique for 100
metronomes (1962) predicts the chaos theory foundation. Edward
Lorenz published in 1963 article Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow - the
birth of this fascinating theory. And if the two events are relatively close,
we have the example of quasi-fractal structure of Continuum
composed six years before Benoit Mandelbrot defines the term in 1975.
The two presented works have characteristics that distinguishes
them individually, but together are the sound image of splendid
mathematical insights.
