Its a neat thing, but it sounded dissonant to me. Not a song melody I could listen to without getting annoyed. (and I do enjoy classical)

Um… having spent about a year-and-a-half writing only imitative counterpoint and fugue, I can firmly say anybody who says “Oh it’s in 4/4 so everything will sound good together” has their head firmly planted up their bung. And, btw, I write modern art music, so I am aware of the genius of Xenakis and all of his cohorts. But, when you write a successful crab canon that has interesting phrasing, apex, and form, I will remove your title as “dunderhead”.

I remember having read a nice chapter on the Musical Offering in Douglas Hofstadter’s book “Gödel, Escher, Bach”.

Simple time signature, all in the same key… Of course it will sound “right” no matter how you cut it.

Do some more research into Xenakis and the likes to see some REAL math at work in music.

Well… it’s in 4/4 time in the same key… that’s why we have mashups on YouTube.
