| Reel One |
| Many songs across multiple genres are based on a structure in which a first section, A, is repeated and then followed by a B section that is harmonically or rhythmically different from the A section. These three sections are followed by a final A section. |
| A A B A |
| This AABA template can be used as the generator for a Cantor set. |
|
| Here is a map of this song showing its three levels of scaling. |
| Each of the small blue blocks represents one measure (4 beats) of music. |
| The green and red blocks represent 4 and 16 measures, respectively. |
| All measures of the same color contain exactly the same, ordered set of notes. |
| Each gray block of any size contains a set of notes that is different from the colored set to its right and left. |
