Abstract

En 中文
It has been wisely said that Tom Johnson was quietly influential. In this article, I will illustrate how his work shaped my own by recounting the creative process behind my orchestral piece On and on and on and on and on and finally, which is entirely based on a continuously accelerated version of the theme from his La vie est si courte. Along the way, I will explore the mathematical challenges this process entailed, with a particular focus on the algebraic intricacies of Johnson's self-replicating melodies and the calculus-driven inner workings of in-phase eternal accelerandos.
