Shadows of Zha'Dum -- "String Theory" -- 3D Fractal Animation Music Video

I've ripped off--excuse me--paid homage to the sci-fi TV show "Babylon 5," with my latest 3D Fractal Animation Music Video (3DFAMV). This is "Shadows of Zha'Dum" with a orchestral version of my original song "String Theory," followed by a piano-only version of the song. Cheers!

The Shadow Vessels of Zha'Dum, made from organic crystals, and who are as sentient as they are evil, are invading Hyperspace Junction #7. Done with Mandelbulber OpenCL v 1.21 and a custom formula from mclarekin called "Inverse Spike."

Inverse Spike, from mclarekin, is:
benesi T1 mag transform including rotation
benesi original power2
darkbeams inverse_cylindrical

Music:
Key of B Minor. Orchestral version was a one-take improvisation that I recorded on the house MIDI piano, and then multi-tracked the hell out of that MIDI file, and sent it through various permutations of Native Instruments' Komplete's various string samplers. The layers went something like this: 17 layers of orchestral strings, 4 layers of guitars, 5 pianos, 8 layers of monks and nuns chanting all combine to make "String Theory," followed by a solo-piano-only version that is 5 layers of various pianos, to include stock Pro Tools Mini Grand, NI's New York Grand, Berlin Grand with overtones, Alicia's Keys, and I forget what else.

Cheers!
