A standard piece of Fibonacci composition.
Fibonacci Musical Composition is the process of composing musical pieces using the
Fibonacci Number Sequence, which was named after Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (who
also went by the name Fibonacci) !he progressions of music are composed with the
sequence accordingly, presenting a hierarchy which gives off an illusion of momentum
build"up while also sounding pleasing to the human ear

originate or develop the sequence he would later become famous for, as the sequence
had been discussed earlier in ndian mathematics since the 5th century, he is cited as
having used it in an e6ample within the third section of his boo2 n his e6ample,
Fibonacci illustrates the growth of a group of rabbits in an ideal situation, which is
where the Fibonacci Sequence had its beginnings
The Numbers
!he Fibonacci Sequence is a special group of numbers that wor2 in a subsequent pattern
of addition For e6ample:
This is how the sequence works (from 7 to 8)
0!"#"$ "!"#2$ "!2#3$ 2!3#%$ 3!%#&
and these are the resulting numbers of the sequence (from 7 to 8)
0$"$2$3$%$&
!he sequence begins with 7 and %, they are added together and the result is % !hen % is
added to the ne6t fi6ed number, that number being % again !he result is ' and then the
previous fi6ed number is added to the current sum 4ccordingly, the ne6t procession in
the sequence would be %9', as shown above !he sequence grows e6ponentially from
this base of foundation using the same pattern
Fibonacci Music
T'pes o( Composition
ellow is a list of three 2nown methods used to compose Fibonacci music
Binar' Method:
;hen using the inary ðod a composer will create a piece consisting of a pattern
that follows a 7 and % system !his system relates to the Fibonacci Sequence by
allowing for a hierarchy that gets infinitely close to the golden ratio to occur Since it is
very difficult to subdivide this system into any time signature, the simplest course of
action for an individual to ta2e is to compose a musical build"up from a set foundation#%$ For e6ample, a composer will choose the length of their smallest 7 and %

A Binary piece entitled !"A"!"#"A.
e)* 7 < a 'nd note, % < a %5th note
t is from this small increment that a composer will start to build upon by using the
Fibonacci Sequence 4s the piece progresses so do the length of the notes !he 7s at
'nd notes become %5th notes and %s at %5th notes become 8th notes !he sequence is
now underway as one can notice that the original 7 note length has grown by ', while
the original % note length has grown by from that of the original 7=s length Ne6t, the 7
will have grown by beats while the % will have grown by . beats !he hierarchy
continues in this fashion as the notes grow in accordance to the Fibonacci Sequence as
do their measures as well !his method also allows for a composer to ma2e variations
with the layers at ease, thus ma2ing very melodic music possible

Note to Number Method:
!he Note to Number method involves creating a rhythm or melody by assigning a note
to a number on the Fibonacci Sequence through &odular 4rithmetic (sometimes also
referred to as cloc2 arithmetic) !his is achievable due to the relation of Fibonacci
numbers to a musical scale ;ithin a musical scale there are eight notes, the fifth and
third notes of a scale create the basic foundation of all chords, which are based on the
original whole tone that is located two steps from the root note, this note being the fist
one in the scale#'$ !o start, one would write out numbers on the Fibonacci Sequence at a
length of their discretion
e)* 7, %, ', , ., 8, %, '%
!hen, the individual would rewor2 the numbers using ?cloc2 arithmetic? to receive a
number on a scale from 7 to @
e)* %, %, ', , ., %, ', +
Ne6t, the composer would pic2 a base or ?root? note and then go up the scale from that
root to the ne6t octave Since there are eight notes and the fist note would be starting
from *ero the results would have a note at every number up to seven

Finally, the composer would only need to plug"in notes to their designated number and
arrange note lengths at their discretion, thus resulting in a new rhythm or melody that
would sound pleasing to the human ear, so long as the Fibonacci pattern is followed

Beat -atio Method:
!his method involves the use of beats within a musical time frame in order to achieve a
golden ratio hierarchy through the Fibonacci Sequence For e6ample, one may chose to
use ?+A+ time?, meaning + beats per measure, to compose their piece n relation to thelength of a note or ?beat? an individual may have:

t is through tiers of measures and beat lengths that mimic the golden ratio, that allow
for a sequential hierarchy to ta2e place within the composition n the first ?bar or
measure, one would have a single whole note which would mar2 + beats !he ne6t tier
would incorporate two half notes mar2ing the + beats t is by the third measure that the
golden ratio starts to form as a result of the sequence n the third measure two quarter
notes are used and one half note is used mar2ing the + beats !he fourth measure will
contain four eighth notes and one half note mar2ing the + beats !he fifth will containeight eighth notes mar2ing the + beats !he ne6t and final section will contain twelve
si6teenth notes and one quarter note mar2ing the + beats within a measure t can be
noted that the number of notes placed within each measure thus far has incorporated a
number in the Fibonacci Sequence
Measure " < % note
Measure 2 < ' notes
Measure 3 < notes
Measure / < . notes
Measure % < 8 notes
Measure < % notes
-nce all of these measures are stac2ed upon each other, a musical hierarchy is reached
and Fibonacci music is successfully composed
