hi Kris,
No, I don't think Rainer's examples are fractal either.
(His understanding of Holograms is perfect though ;-)

The obvious example of fractal sound is white noise.
Some gamelan music approximates a fractal, with slow moving bass
and progressively faster layers at higher pitch.

How about a plug-in that feeds back double speed sections of the 
input recursively?
