Music

The cantor set seems a very widespread pattern in music, f.e. in the Cello Suite of J.S.Bach

Top: Cantor-Set, Bottom: Distribution of note durations in a 16-measure excerpt from a cello suite by Bach. (Copyright 2007, World Scientific) — The top of this drawing shows a Cantor comb, which depicts self-similar patterns repeating at different scales on different lines. The lower diagram depicts the distribution of note durations in a 16-measure excerpt from a cello suite by Bach. The two patterns are similar.

This is especially obvious in Psytrance music, where the cantor pattern repeats over scales ranging from milliseconds 16th notes up to several days long festivals.
