--------- Albrecht said: ------- > The Fractal Rhythm is a completely new System, > Hal has analyzed it for me, maybe he will supply his > findings in understandable words. Thank You, Hal ! I will try. The wheels inside Albrecht's head have been turning and turning, and have created a very interesting rhythm pattern for his current music. His rhythm is designed to *not* have the rhythmic patterns of the ten voices repeat for a *very* long time. If the format of the table below gets mangled by the email systems, here's a link to a screencap of the correctly formatted table: http://tinyurl.com/Albrechts-rhythms-screencap The numeric value of each digit represents how long each drum's note lasts. (The number of beats it will play for.) And they all play at the same rate. (The same number of beats per minute.) Read below, and you will see that it will be a very long time before all 10 voices repeat the exact same sequence together! Here are Albrecht's 10 channels with the length of time that a note is played, listed in sequence: I've done some rudimentary counting and adding and discovered the numeric basis for his claiming a (close to) infinite variation. "nNotes" is the count of the # of notes (digits) defined for that channel. "sum" is the sum of the digits -- the number of beats -- that a note will play. A quick look will show that Albrecht has a nifty pattern crafted into the rhythms. DR1=111312114221124312213112 . . . . . . . . . sum = 43 nNotes = 24 DR2=11111312114221124312213112 . . . . . . . sum = 45 nNotes = 26 DR3=1111111312114221124312213112 . . . . . sum = 47 nNotes = 28 DR4=111111111312114221124312213112 . . . sum = 49 nNotes = 30 DR5=11111111111312114221124312213112 . sum = 51 nNotes = 32 DR6=11312114221124312213112 . . . . . . . . . . .sum = 42 nNotes = 23 DR7=1111312114221124312213112 . . . . . . . . .sum = 44 nNotes = 25 DR8=111111312114221124312213112 . . . . . . .sum = 46 nNotes = 27 DR9=11111111312114221124312213112 . . . . .sum = 48 nNotes = 29 DR10=1111111111312114221124312213112 . .sum = 50 nNotes = 31 The number of "beats" that will be played before the group of drum voices repeats, looks like it might be: - - - nBeats = 43x45x47x49x51 x 42x44x46x48x50 = - - - 227,271,555 x 204,019,200 = - - - 4.6367760833856e x (10)^16 beats! I initially didn't understand Albrecht's statement: . . . . "All pairs have the same amount of notes" : If each digit represents a note, then when I counted the number of digits in each drum's rhythm, no two drums had the same number of notes (my "nNotes" column above)… There was something I didn't understand about "same amount of notes"... Albrecht explained that phrase to me as follows: ===== The pairs with adjacent phases, for instance, phase 9 plus phase 10 Channel 1 and channel 10, always have a sum of 55 notes, 24 plus 31. That´s necessary to keep the basic rhythm. The new thing about this shifting rhythm is that for instance bass notes shift with high pitch notes or even with drums. ===== Thus, Albrecht has: DR1 nNotes + DR10 nNotes = 24 + 31 = 55 DR2 nNotes + DR9 nNotes = 26 + 29 = 55 DR3 nNotes + DR8 nNotes = 28 + 27 = 55 DR4 nNotes + DR7 nNotes = 30 + 25 = 55 DR5 nNotes + DR6 nNotes = 22 + 23 = 55 He also has different phasing of his channels. I don't understand how this are specified. Any errors in the analysis are mine, not Albrecht's. I've had fun looking at Albrecht's rhythms! - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Added two MP3 versions: InfiVar_0210PQP5 the Quadro Version already available as WAV InfiVar_02101FP5 the Fast Version already available as Midi The Slow Version: InfiVar_02101SP5 has been renamed to avoid double names. Repeat: The Fractal Rhythm is a completely new System, Hal has analyzed it for me, maybe he will supply his findings in understandable words. Thank You, Hal ! ; Note: This still is Fractal Music It has been "created" completely without any human input with only one source : The image to be converted (Tempo37.BMP), a Multifractal Image, and for scanning (sampling) square.ifs. On request repeat previous message with the link included. ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5wjNF6ZzOm-xfByj ; Albrecht

Yesterday´s post, maybe you have thought "what´s that supposed to be?" was the first experimental Natural Music item and still is one of my favorites. Play it 3 or 4 times and you know why. Today´s is the last one, maybe. Was about to go on to something else but then had the idea that is realized now. Look at the Rhythm.txt file and you get as impression, what I´ve done. Listen closely to the melodic contrapoints and get captured. ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5wjNF6ZzOm-xfByj ; Albrecht

Integration under differentiation .
by Edward Montague 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Lets examine a very basic differential equation : y' - fn1(x) = 0 this is a test condition that we're interested in , we might even relax this to : | y' - fn1(x) | < epi , where epi is a small tolerance . We're quite familiar with this in fractint . Now suppose that we're able to generate y' and y , as iterated functions . Then when the aforementioned condition is satisfied we have a value for the integral of fn1(x) at x = Pixel ; this being y . As available , via an earlier post of mine , a general formula for finding the derivative of an iterated function . Initially this might just be examined as a fractal . At this stage I really don't know what this might produce ; maybe some interesting fractals .

Taiko Power
by Albrecht Niekamp 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

People coming to my place mostly want to enjoy the Taiko power and it is power! In the middle of 10 different rhythm machines you just cannot pretend that nothing special happens. So I wrote a TaikoTrip Version with a special shifting rhythm, activating the new quadro sound, so all instruments have the same dynamics and energy to push you along on the TaikoTrip TaikoTrip_061117BQ.mp3 (Q at the end always means Quadrosound) ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5UoPDZkDk7NLcqXr ; Albrecht

Phase S hifting2
by Albrecht Niekamp 19 Nov '17

Updated yesterday´s Quadro Version: TaikoTrance_061117CQ for better Channel Separation. Tested with 4 different Midi versions: WinXP Midi Editor and MediaPlayer Win10 WMP and Winamp. Uses the Winamp "Immediate Version" qte send midi events to os in realtime unqte for best results.(Microsoft Soundmapper) The 4 channel playback is identical on all versions but winamp is more dynamic and "alive". Supplied also the MP3 Version. Please compare and tell me if there is any difference, there should be none. This is still the testing phase so will be grateful for any assistance as this has never been tried before, The PhaseShifting should be more or less compatible with most 4 Channel surround systems ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5UoPDZkDk7NLcqXr ; Albrecht

Test it, you will like the music I guess. The sound is differrent even if you dont have Surround speakers. https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5mKPQevBJxhGh9bF Slipping & Sliding_101017PQ.mp3 Albrecht
