Marianella P. Machado

In this paper we demonstrate how to create and analyze musical compositions using Mathematica. In §1, we begin by demonstrating how to create a musical composition for an orchestra based on the butterfly curve using traditional means.

Finally, in §3, we show how Mathematica can be used to analyze muscial compositions using the methods from nonlinear time series analysis.
