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 31-07-14 (On the Other Side [A-7,M-5])
by Jim Muth 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 31, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same squashed-bug parent as yesterday's, but instead of being located in the bug's head, today's image lies in a valley of a large disconnected minibrot just northeast of the main body of the parent. This valley has two totally dis-similar sides, a peculiarity that is reflected in today's image with its large sinuous areas and contrasting smaller areas of angular chaos. The name "On the Other Side" refers to the location of the scene in the parent fractal. The art rating of a 7 shows that I consider today's image to be somewhat of an improvement over yesterday's, while the math rating of a 5 shows that the math trick is old hat. The calculation time of a dragging 4 minutes may be eliminated by checking the web sites. The finished 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> A mix of clouds and sun with a temperature of 81F 27C made today another rather pleasant one here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats and humans had an uneventful afternoon, which was pleasant to experience but makes boring reading. The next FOTD will be posted sometime next month, maybe as soon as tomorrow. Until whenever, take care, and sometimes the losers of battles turn out to be winners.

FOTD 30-07-14 (Countdown to Earth [A-6,M-6])
by Jim Muth 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 30, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractional-value minibrot scene lies in the parent fractal that results when the expression Z^(1.75)+C is iterated 7 levels up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral. This parent resembles nothing more than a squashed bug with its head facing southwest, but not wanting to turn off potential viewers, I named today's FOTD "Countdown to Earth", which has little if anything to do with the appearance of the image. The scene is located in a valley leading to a small bud on the southwest side of the bug's head. The math and art aspects both rate a 6. I could find nothing really new in the image. The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes is rather slow. The web sites can speed up the viewing pleasure however. Check the finished image at the web sites without the inconvenience of calculating it. The web sites may be accessed 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 pleasant mix of sun amd clouds with an equally pleasant temperature of 77F 25C made today here at Fractal Central fit for a king. With no king in the vicinity, the day was enjoyed by the fractal cats and humans (cats always coming first, of course). The next FOTD will be posted in the appropriate time. Until then, take care, and live with honor but don't get preachy.

FOTD 25-07-14 (Peaches and Plums [A-7,M-2])
by Jim Muth 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 25, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-2) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The low rating of the math part of today's image indicates that the expression Z^2+C, which creates the Mandelbrot set as well as today's image, is perhaps the oldest one in the fractal book. The scene lies in a minor valley of a small bud on the western edge of the large period-3 bud on the north shore of the main bay of the M-set. The name "Peaches and Plums" refers mostly to the peach-like colors of the circular basins surrounding the central minibrot. The calculation time of <30 seconds is true when the image is calculated with conventional math. Switching to arbitrary precision math produces an image with slightly better resolution, though instead of seconds, the calculation time will be hours. But as always, such monumental decisions may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the web sites. 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> Another picture-postcard-perfect day passed quietly here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cats fully enjoyed the temperature of 77F 25C, while the fractal humans enjoyed the photoshop blue skies and white cottonpuff cumulus clouds. The next FOTD will be posted before the world's oldest and most difficult question is answered. Until whenever, take care, and that question is why an all-good, all-powerful and all knowing god permits bad things to happen to good people.' Denying that God exists is an evasion of the question, not an answer.

FOTD 28-07-14 (The Blues on Parade [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 28, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies at the northern edge of the parent fractal that results when 5.5 negative parts of Z^(-2.3) are combined with 1.6 negative parts of Z^(-6.1) and (1/C) is added on each iteration. This unlikely and admittedly whimsical combination produces a fractal that resembles a panda bear lying on its left side, with today's image located on the outer edge of its right ear. I named the image "The Blues on Parade" not because I am in a particularly depressed mood but because of the preponderance of blue shades in the scene. Most of the artistic effect was achieved by rendering the image with the 'tdis' outside option turned on, resulting in a rating of a 7. The math aspect also rates a 7 even though today's trick is over 12 years old. The magnitude of 7*(10^12) is somewhat beyond the limit of perfect resolution, but at least in my opinion, the slight breakdown actually improves the appearance. The image is a fast one, finishing in one minute or so on all but old leftover machines from the last century. Fractal fans with these technological anachronisms may enjoy the finished image on the FOTD web sites at: The glorious 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> A mix of clouds and sun, with a temperature of 77F 25C and a lively breeze from the west made today quite acceptable here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats enjoyed their comfort as they took turns sleeping and watching pigeons. The fractal people, with other things to do, had no time to sleep or watch pigeons. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until that moment of awe and wonder arrives, take care, and the news of the world's events is less stressful to experience when one has a neutral standpoint.

FOTD 24-07-14 (Soft Landing [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 24, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After studying today's image for a few seconds, I decided that it appears to be filled with pillows. Maybe it is, maybe not, but whatever, I named it "Soft Landing". The generating expression mixes 0.125 part of Z^(-2.5) with Z^2 before adding (1/C) on each iteration. This combination produces an oversized Mandeloid that resembles nothing as much as a kidney bean or a peanut, with the East Valley on the west side and the small, almost invisible main spike pointing east. Today's scene lies on the north shore line of the 'east' valley. The art rates a 7. After all, I did put some extra effort into the coloring. The math rates only a 6. Today's math trick is over 10 years old. The calculation time of 4-3/4 minutes borders on slowness. To save time and effort, check the finished image on the FOTD web sites. The finished 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> Near perfect conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with photoshop (aka kodachrome) blue skies, cotton-candy white clouds and a temperature of 77F 25C.

FOTD 21-07-14 (High-Order Hijinks [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

FOTD -- July 21, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that results when a ridiculously tiny part of Z^(100) is subtracted from Z^(1.008) before straight (C) is added on each iteration. This parent appears as a large circle that lies mostly off the left edge of the screen, with a tiny mandel shaped object at its eastern edge. Today's scene is located very near the X-axis, at the eastern extremity of the entire parent fractal. The name "High-order Hijinks" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the image. The art and math aspects both rate a 7. The colors are not all that impressive, while the math trick is nothing new. The 2-1/4 minute wait while the image calculates may be eliminated by checking the web sites. Check 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 clouds and sun, along with the temperature of 84F 29C, gave nothing to remember the day by here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cats were so bored that they almost forgot to take their afternoon naps. The fractal humans, who are becoming ever more disgusted with the world and its madnesses, wished they had the time for naps. The next FOTD will be posted soon. Until whenever, take care, and what well known biological species is now almost totally addicted to electronic gadgets?

FOTD 20-07-14 (It's_in_the_Parent [A-7,M-7])

FOTD -- July 20, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "It's in the Parent", which is an obvious truism. The name also refers to the parent fractal, which consists of two large Mandelbrot sets symmetrically situated with respect to the X-axis and connected by an unusually long and broad 'canal'. Today's scene is located on the western side of this canal, very near the X-axis. I chose to investigate the shore line of the canal because I assumed that this is where the most unusual minibrots would be found. A quick check had shown me that the minibrots in the two M-sets hold mostly standard M-set stuff. Both the art and math aspects of the image rate a 7 -- above average but not worth the proverbial cigar. The calculation time however is shockingly fast, finishing on almost any machine in under one minute. The only thing more convenient would be to find the image already calculated. And by a stroke of luck, the finished image may be found on the web sites. 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> A mix of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 79F 26C, kept today in the comfort zone here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats took it as easy as possible, while the fractal humans spent the afternoon trying to forget the troubles in progress around the world. The next FOTD will be posted in the not-too-distant future. I realize that the FOTD's are not appearing as frequently as in the past, but this is mostly due to a lack of time to write the discussions, not a lack of enthusiasm for fractals. So until whenever, take care, and the other day I heard a young man say that he runs so many apps on his phone because when he is not online, his mind starts working and he starts thinking about his real problems. I guess I'm just a cranky old-fashioned codger, but I assumed this is why we have intelligent minds.
