The Voice of Fibonacci: Maths Meets Music | Jülide Dursun | TEDxYouth@EyüboğluHS

The usage of mathematics in baroque era has influenced many artists such as Bela Bartok, Arnold Schoenberg, Bach and many more.The combination of Fibonacci sequences and music has caused a new understanding in Turkish classical music history which is called Atonal Classical Composition. However, first and foremost, the understanding of “Positive Sciences and Arts shall never go together” has been broken. Jülide Ece Dursun is an IB student at Eyüboğlu High School whilst also being a part-time student in Kadıköy Fine Arts High School, Vocal Department. Her passion for music took its shape when she started taking piano lessons from one of the foremost musicians in Turkey, Namık Yakuboğlu. She aims to become a multi-instrumentalist, while being able to play violin alongside piano. Her musical passion soon met with mathematics when she enrolled in The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) with a six-month long project where she combined maths with music. The project called “Voice of Fibonacci” has demolished the mentality that indicates that ‘positive Sciences and Arts shall never go together’ by combining maths with music. The project passed Regional Finals but did not win an award. Her determination to break through is as solid as a rock as she currently continues with another project, again combining arts with positive sciences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
