Modernist Danish composer Per Norgard studied at the Royal Danish Academy and became influenced by serialist techniques prevalent in Europe during the 1960's. He eventually developed a technique known as the infinity series, wherein the form, melodies and rhythms of a piece derive from a mathematical series not unlike those found in fractal geometry or chaos theory. However intellectual the foundation of the music, Norgard's compositions are full of delightful surprises and evoke rich emotional tapestries.
