Penrose tiling - musical potential for the touch screen?
This is Penrose tiling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling
This looks to me as though there's potential for a musically related touch interface for composition, influenced by those rules.

Like a sort of Escheresque keyboard or sequencer?
Sounds interesting:)
maybe more for iPad games and graphic design? There's a nice game app with Escher-tiling (runs only on older iPads).
But who knows? The linear (1D) arrangment of the keyboard is definitely not necessary on a surface (tablet, 2D). For example, a hexagonal key arrangment works very well on a touchscreen, it offers better relationsships between notes, easier to see with the eye. And it's not limited to 12 notes per octave either.
I can imagine that a clever key arrangment on a surface can have several advantages. Making use of the 2 dimensions, with bending/varying of each individual note. Perfect for a touchscreen as it offers all the needed input options. In hardware we already see more of these multidimensional controllers appearing. And I think there is more possible with a touchscreen. There are already some good controller apps, like Seline, Orphion, Geo, Konkreet Performer, TC-Data, etc., but they do not include or respect specific tuning and playing options.
Meditate on this I will. Patterns and tilings may surely play a role for what I'm thinking of. And there's always Lemur with its HTML5 graphics where you can define any shape you like, define touch inputs, etc.
Interesting idea. Seems like the UI for this could probably be generated by that app that allows for JavaScript audio development. ScriptSonic I think? And you could presumably apply the same methods/rules used to generate the UI to audio or MIDI.
