Lateralus

I had thought that I had featured this song back during the days of the Archive, but I haven't. So let's correct that.

I'm not sure when people started talking about the song's relationship to the Fibonacci sequence, but I don't think it was when the album and song had been newly released. I may be wrong about that. But there is no doubt that the changing time signatures are one of the primary features of this composition.

This song is "Lateralus" by Tool from the album Lateralus, which came out in 2001. The song was also released as a single in 2002.

I'm sure that people are baffled by "What is the Fibonacci Sequence?" Here's a link. The Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio. What is the Fibonacci Sequence? What is the Golden Mean? Their relationship. The Sequence in nature. The Fibonacci Spiral (images included.) Click thru.
