Ok so i was listening to this new song "swagger like us", and i was thinking about math art and design. i was wracking my head for an interesting post, something with substance, and then it came to me the song that i was listening to has the properties that we are learning about. Although i know this may not be the ideal concept of this course i still feel it works. Everyone knows music is defiantly an aspect of art i.e. Mozart, Beethoven etc, it has never been questioned, but listening to this song i realized the composer Kanye West took another song "Paper Planes" extracted a single line "swagger like us" looped it and shortened it and elongated it a bunch of times added base drums trumpets and an abundance of others sounds and he made this the beat. And what i love about this idea is the abstraction of this one song. He is known to take songs and take a line and make it apart of the beat, however normally it is only apart of the beat it is never the beat itself, the abstraction of these words by Kanye is amazing. and the way i think this is a good blog for the site is because the artistic aspect of the beat is great. He designed it through abstraction which is what Escher did; repition through abstraction with a lot of his pieces. and although this is something you hear rather than see it is still in the same context the math is in the numbers of the beats and the precision of the melody. It is an amazing idea that Kanye created.
