Resumen:
I present aspects of an interdisciplinary project bridging mathematics and arts, in particular frieze patterns (with mathematicians Karin Baur/Klemens Fellner) and their intricate weaving into contemporary musical composition (Tamara Friebel). Tamara presents a recent composition “Illuminations” in Krems Cathedral, where a 70 minute choral work was inspired by various principles gleaned from their interdisciplinary research project. I emphasise the role of intuition crucial both to mathematical research and artistic creation, in particular composition. Structures from on-going mathematical research were step by step appropriated by an artist/composer using visual art and design software and finally composition principles.This artistic crystallization process lead in return to ideas of a conceptual nature, which translated back into a mathematical research proposal; thus confirming a true eye-to-eye interdisciplinary process.
