Title: Fractal Music Video Post by: Thunderwave on August 01, 2012, 02:31:37 AM Hi all! I've been away. Thought I need to cool down from the scene.
I was the fractal crazy music guy and now I am just fractal crazy. Planning on getting a MA in music at Durham, UK where a famous guy there studied fractal music, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sherlaw_Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sherlaw_Johnson). This was just an exercise in how to generate the mset mapped to 128 pitches, -2.0 to 2.0. It would reset once one value passed the other. My first attempt just made a moire effect: http://youtu.be/IYNOpJUgXB0 (http://youtu.be/IYNOpJUgXB0) it had just one metronome so the their was no depth in each recursive "x" or "y". So I set the ("x","y") to change by a different metronome so the initial recursion could play out and see if they would go chaotic at some point. You will see it in the movie when it does. http://youtu.be/axOBorNLc1M (http://youtu.be/axOBorNLc1M) Now a fractal generated piece that sounds more "aesthetically" 'pleasing' is my ultimate goal. Here's one successful attempt yet with a few liberties in obvious ways. http://youtu.be/iOnrzIRxAm4 (http://youtu.be/iOnrzIRxAm4) ...using this is a guide!

Have you tried set of more complicated functions? like sin(tan) , cos(arctan) & etc?
