At first glance, Golden Blues may just seem like a fairly standard Stephane Grappelli-esque blues tune... and there's certainly nothing wrong with hearing it that way.
But under the surface there's a little more going on. The blues chords delineated by the walking bass line do not repeat periodically; instead, they repeat according to a system I developed in 2006, in which patterns repeat aperiodically according to the golden ratio. What this means is that if you find any two places in the piece that are at the same point in the blues chord progression, the golden ratio between them will also be at that same point (assuming the initial two places were far enough apart from each other).
Up until this piece, I had never tried applying this method to chord progressions -- I had only used it with pitches and melody fragments -- so it was a bit of an experiment. The end result (I hope) is that the aperiodic blues chord progression is both predictable and unpredictable, nestled in the sweet spot between the simple and the complex.
