Albrecht, I'm enjoying your latest music, Chillax, as I write this. For some reason, I especially like the emphasis of the singleton, pairs and triplets of low frequency percussive sounds. They seem to make sure that your attention doesn't wander. They're an independent entity, emphasizing and commenting on the piano melody. When these deep percussive sounds appear *just* ahead of the beat, they pleasantly anticipate it. I've always liked this, and previously had only heard it in African drum music. The drummer Olatunji had a 20 foot long drum that he used for anticipating the beat when I saw him in concert. When he walked up to that drum (held up at a shallow angle from the horizontal so that he could just barely reach the head of it to play it) in the middle of an ongoing piece, my anticipation of his anticipatory beat was perhaps similar to someone tensing 'in sympathy' with a diver as they leap to land on the end of the springboard to be launched into the air for the dive. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

HI, regarding my Fractal-Music I´m on some kind of dead end street. Of course there is a limit to what you can achieve with an automatic algorithm, so you could also say I almost reached my goal. Today I used some elements of my previous "test" Reima45 and 65. That means 6 Piano voices have exactly the same setting, limit from C2 to B5, and are placed from left to right, so you have one single instrument where each voice covers a different aspect of the source spectrum, all use the same dot which is interpreted in a different way, RGB or GRB for eample. So the possible variety of the music has significantly increased. In my home I have a sophisticated 4 Channel hifi, where the outer left and right parts come from the rear - the complete room is filled and the music travels in all directions.Great! The Rhythm section plays the same part as before but from a different starting point, so you have counterpoints and overlays wich fit nevertheless. This is not the final version, maybe I find some improvement. ; Hope I have roused some curiosity, why not give it a try? ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/knjugveilsek2rn/AAAOUTkEqv5lzoZjbe-mj-Mva?dl=0 ; Albrecht

FOTD 27-10-14 (Comb Filters [A-8,M-5])
by Jim Muth 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 27, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The formula behind today's image combines Z^4 with half as much Z^5 before adding straight Z on each iteration. This simple combination creates a parent fractal that consists of a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees with an oversized main bud and a main spike leading east to merge with the west-pointing main spike of the remnants of a very distorted M-set lying in the normal direction. Today's scene lies in a moth-eaten valley on the north shore line of the main bay of this distorted M-set. I named the image "Comb Filters" because that's what came to mind when I shut off my thinking (an easy task) and let nature take its own path. I think comb filters are part of TV circuitry, but don't take my word for it. The brilliant bluish-white image elements that resemble comb teeth are actually inside stuff made visible by the 'fmod' inside fill. The image itself largely consists of blank 'inside' areas. The art aspect, which took over an hour to get right, rates a very good 8. The math comes in at a 6. Combining various portions of Z^4 and Z^5 is hardly new stuff. The image finishes in an average 3 minutes on one of today's fireball machines still friendly with DOS. The web sites can bypass any quarrels that may arise between the parameter file and a DOS unfriendly machine. The finished image is posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Total sunshine prevailed here at Fractal Central today, while the temperature reached a high of a very pleasant 64F 18C. The fractal cats soaked up as much sun as they could. The only problem was the window shelf, which is too small to accommodate all three cats at the same time, making them squabble to have turns sunning themselves. The fractal humans had a pleasantly uneventful day. The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is, implying no definite time but giving assurance that it eventually will be posted. Until whenever, take care, and stay happy by remaining blissfully ignorant.
