My entry for heavenriver's Ultra Fractal Redux Challenge #23, Muse. The challenge is to make a fractal inspired by the style of another artist. I have lots of muses! But for this, I chose composer Igor Stravinsky, whose music tends to have an erratic rhythm and a lot of dissonance. I guess I haven't ever seen "gnarl" associated with him, but that's the fractal style that his music reminds me of. Now that I think of it, the music that's been going through my head as I finished this is his Firebird, not Rite of Spring, but I like the title so am going to keep it!
