HI, This is for those who want high quality playback. I uploaded a folder containing only WAV files. A special recommendation: Hurricane3. This is recorded using the original bitrate of my soundcard, using Audacity. Bitrate 192.000 instead of 44.000. So the length is 760MB. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6eu2vbyl30n6uon/AAB7ZYQ2inIK9uYLHl-9HUY0a?dl=0 ; This is a special upload and not included in my site. ; Albrecht

FOTD 24-10-14 (Captain Smedley [A-5,M-6])
by Jim Muth 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 24, 2014 (Rating A-5,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the upper right part of the tail of the fish that filled the image for October 21. Since we have a nautical theme going, I named the image "Captain Smedley". I have never known a Captain Smedley, but I must have heard of one somewhere. Why else would such a name come to mind? Actually, the image, which was rendered with the outside set to 'tdis', is far too busy, and rates no more than a lowly 5. The math rates a 6, which is a little better but not enough to celebrate. Unfortunately, with a calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes, the image is a slow one. But this time may be saved by viewing the finished image on the web sites. The image is posted 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> Tons of sun and a temperature of 68F 20C made today one to be remembered here at Fractal Central. Unfortunately, the fractal cats had forgotten the day by the time the sun went down. The humans, who routinely enjoyed the day, did nothing worth reporting. The next FOTD will be posted in two or three days. Until whenever it does appear, take care, and what should we fear the most this Halloween -- ghosts, radical terrorists, zombies, an ebola epidemic, witches, an asteroid impact, werewolves, mass shootings, vampires, or the government?

MOTD 221014 - Hurricane3
by Albrechtx 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

HI, have deleted yesterday´s item Hurricane3p and replaced it. It now has an exciting fourth part. After some testing I succeeded to generate a true pendulum effect with thesis-antithesis or phrase and replica. I used different harmonics left/right and all voices - you may have noticed that they always have a left and right edition - are seperated by exactly 5 phases. A phase is the time needed to generate a note for a single voice. It sounds so natural that you may not notice unless you know what to listen to, or you detect that your head moves to the rhythm. It is the fourth part with double length, 60 measures. ; I dont expect any reactions again, maybe too many people still have a prejudice against fractal music, so I´ll move to another suitable forum if possible. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z1ikx0j0dtwx8k0/AABJS1hiCbXC70LFnsSCMKnca?dl=0 ; Albrecht

MOTD 221014 - Hurricane
by Albrechtx 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

HI, here is a new basic rhythm pattern for my music. Not completely new, that would have taken a longer time but some efficient modifications. The source image is one of my MFR10 originals. The IFS used is the well known Sierpinski with its "rhythmical" structure. The 128 measures long mp3 has no interrupts or changes to exhibit the infinite rhythm flow. It is pure percussion as you may guess from the title (thanks, Bill) and good for dancing or your morning workout. It has the typical ups and downs of a storm - or strain and relaxing. Note: This is another chapter of my musical history ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z1ikx0j0dtwx8k0/AABJS1hiCbXC70LFnsSCMKnca?dl=0 ; Albrecht

FOTD 21-10-14 (Pisces Ascending [A-6,M-6])
by Jim Muth 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 21, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's double-six rated image lies in the parent fractal that appears when 0.355 parts of Z^4 are subtracted from Z^3 on each iteration before straight C is added. This parent consists of a fairly normal appearing Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, with large bays at the end of the main filaments. The largest bay, located at the end of the main spike, is mostly filled with a large fragment of a kind of East Valley. I consider this valley fragment strange because it is filled with curiously shaped minibrots, some of which are quadratic, others cubic, and still others of the 6th degree. The valley also abounds with minibrots that fit into no category, much like the weird fishy one in today's image. I named the image "Pisces Ascending" because of the obvious fish-shaped minibrot swimming to the left. Pisces is the Astrological sign of the zodiac that the sun passes through in the month of March. Astrology is considered a superstitious pseudo-science by those who know that the distant planets could have no measurable effect on the fortunes and characteristics of people on Earth. At the same time, it is known to be a true science by those who spend their lives calculating horoscopes. As for myself, I'm somewhere in the middle. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will pass faster than Madam Zucchini can cast a horoscope. It's in the stars that the only thing faster is the trip to the FOTD web sites to view the finished image. To save time, try the FOTD web sites 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> A mix of clouds and sun with a temperature of 61F 16C brought out the best in the fractal cats and humans here at Fractal Central today. The next in the infinite series of FOTD images will be posted in time. Until the exact time becomes revealed, take care, and the world would be a peaceful place if it were not for the other side.

Fractal Music Project
by Albrecht Niekamp 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

HI, : after a long time of silence I´m back again with a new project. After my Multifractal Project which has remained unique as it still is the only software creating fractals using up to five formulas simultaneously here is my Fractal Music project, possibly the only one which deserves that name, there are some details they have in common: : It uses a single algorithm to automatically create music of theoretically indefinite size which never repeats itself. The rhythm is my own definition of an endless shifting rhythm originally inspired by Steve Reich ("Drumming") and Terry Riley ("In C") and on their side by African native music for instance by the pygmies. : The melodies- of course being the other half of the structure "shifting melodies" - are created using pixels of a Bitmap (BMP) fractal, which is scanned using the dots and lines of a freely designed IFS fractal. : The basic software - in and out and conversion of a pixel into musical parameters of a single note - originates in the nineties, author David Strohbeen and is not available anymore. : In addition to the image the music is influenced to a high degree by the IFS fractal used, a pyramid for instance creates a harder rhythmic structure, a spiral a softer melodic structure. Listening closely and relaxed you may well find that the general atmosphere of the music is that of the originating fractal. : I converted Jim´s "End of the World" image, FOTD Aug27, loved it at first glance. Thanks for that, Jim. Including links of the WAV files - mp3 is not satisfactory - and the original MID files. Be careful when using Midi: The sound depends on the fonts used and therefore maybe disapointing.The soundfont used is WeedsGM3, google for it. Use only a player that does not change the parameters. The creative player destroys the music, Winamp is ok. : Albrecht Niekamp] : SPIRAL1.IFS { 0.788 -0.424 0.242 0.860 1.649 5.431 0.896 -0.121 0.258 0.152 0.053 -6.722 1.377 0.052 0.182 -0.136 0.091 0.182 6.086 1.568 0.052 } : http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Aug13/082713.html https://www.dropbox.com/s/1c7bl26vc44lqy6/120913D3.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/kvastwz6oopb900/120913D3.wav https://www.dropbox.com/s/odhd6582zzu6cy1/11091301.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/94mlkbmmdwvydlp/11091301.wav

FOTD 20-10-14 (Scalloped Elements [A-6,M-6])
by Jim Muth 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

FOTD -- October 20, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image comes from the same parent fractal as yesterday's, but today's image is located along the northern shore line of the northwestern clover leaf, which is a totally different area of the parent. I named the image "Scalloped Elements". I originally intended to name it 'Scalloped Elephants' but the scene lies nowhere near any kind of East Valley and I could find no elephants, either proto or fully developed, in it. The art and math both rate a 6, which is just far enough above average to make the image worth a look. The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes will make running the parameter file only a small expenditure of time. And the web sites can save most of this time. So save time by checking the finished image 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> The mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 59F 15C was close to normal for middle to late October here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats and fractal humans had too many other tasks to finish to be concerned with the weather. The next FOTD will be posted in a matter of a day or two. Until whenever, take care, and live life to the fullest. After all, we only go around a few thousand times.

20 Oct '14

HI, to illustrate my comments about the IFS part in my music I have created a new mp3 "Tranquillity" which uses the Contemplation image again but with a new Ifs which produced a much more gentle sound. The previous IFS "Swirl5" is added to the MOTD 1211014 folder to show the difference. The music is of the quiet kind and not interrupted to let you dream... ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5yn48upazwmv0vl/AADzxfAb4Kkkk6mF4DmXpfwWa?dl=0 ; Albrecht
