Eadem Mutato Resurgo (although changed, I rise again the same) is the first in a series
of etudes that establishes a connection between music and a geometric shape. Eadem
explores how the shape of a pentagon might be represented through musical structure
and physical gesture. Elements such as pitch, motive, and register are defined by the
numeral five to further represent the pentagon. The title is taken from the epithet of the
great mathematician Jacque Bernoulli, who was obsessed with the
logarithmic spiral, which,
like the pentagon, is structurally defined by the so-called Golden Ratio (.618).
