Bach as computer

there was a very interesting interview recently in the FAZ newspaper on Bach as a computer composing music. somehow it must be inspired by goedel, bach, eschenbach the mysteries behind algorithms. bach as taking the hand of the listener, guiding him in the universe of logic, to show the subtleties of our existence. bach computes incredible forms like einstein did with the laws of mechanics.

parallelity in computation - is the opposite of looping sequences. most programs today are looping sequences of some kind. parallel programs would be based on more different forms of symbols in time-space,

space, ambiguity, contradiction....

great isn't it?
