Square Dance
by Albrecht Niekamp 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Repeat my last message as it apparently got los and did not make it to the forum ; Hal, thank you soo much for all your efforts! ; After listening to all 3 files in WAV mode again I still think espeacially the Sierpinski Stomp still is worth listening indeed, a rhythmiic trip - sry. David, I think you too use the "Direct Midi to MP3 Converter" Super Software ! Recommend to convert it to WAV using the direct recording mode and your very good Midi font. 110MB !

Albrecht's new fractal music:: Square Dance & Sierpinski Stomp
by Harold Lane 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Albrecht's has created two new fractal music pieces: Square Dance & Sierpinski Stomp. Below are links to the sound files and the IFS images used to create the music. Their Iterated Function System formulas that created the images -- which control part of the music creation process -- are included in this email. Square Dance ------------------- Swir15-IFS.gif http://tinyurl.com/Swir15-IFS-gif or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-04_Swir15-IFS.gif 2017-11-05_Square_Dance-updated.mp3 MIDI Converted to MP3 with higher audio quality. http://tinyurl.com/Square-Dance-updated-mp3 or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_Square_Dance-updated.mp3 Square-Dance-updated.MID http://tinyurl.com/Square-Dance-updated-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_Square-Dance-updated.MID SWIR15.IFS { 0.745455 -0.459091 0.406061 0.887121 1.460279 0.691072 0.912675 -0.42424 -0.065152 -0.175758 -0.218182 3.809567 6.741476 0.087325 } 2nd Part of Square Dance ---------------------------------- A Sierpinski IFS & its image are used for the 2nd Part of Square Dance: 2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg http://tinyurl.com/SIERPIN-jpg or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg 2017-11-05_Square-Dance-2nd-part.MID http://tinyurl.com/Square-Dance-2nd-part-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_Square-Dance-2nd-part.MID SIERPIN.IFS { 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 0.000 1.960 0.336 -0.250 0.430 -0.430 -0.250 1.820 -0.680 0.332 -0.250 -0.430 0.430 -0.250 -1.420 -0.880 0.332 } Sierpinski Stomp ---------------------- This music uses the same IFS and image as the 2nd Part of Square Dance. Albrecht says, . "The new material for me is fascinating . and the best I have ever done. So here is a long (150 Bars) . version with the Sierpinski [image used] for scanning. . . Many interesting sounds only show after more than 100 bars . due to the shifting [nature of the rhythms.] . . This IFS is a special one as it evokes rhythms not available . with any other IFS. Maybe you like it too, kind of jazzy." 2017-11-05_Sierpinski-Stomp.MID http://tinyurl.com/Sierpinski-Stomp-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_Sierpinski-Stomp.MID Bonus Image from Albrecht ------------------------------------ 2017-11-04_Non-Square-Dance-fractal.png http://tinyurl.com/Non-Square-Dance-fractal-png or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-04_Non-Square-Dance-fractal. png Hal says, "It's a very nice image. The yellow, blue and green bands of colors in the color map even make their own 3-armed spiral converging at the center! And the red, purple and blue color bands *also* make a 3-armed spiral between the arms of the other spiral! Very nice!"

Albrecht's fractal music - Move3 Part 3, "Homecoming"
by Harold Lane 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

After "a lot of experimenting," Albrecht has written a new Fractal Rhythm scheme and produced new fractal music, whose title is: "Homecoming". ;This is the rhythm: DR=83142114882211241322131211314121 DR=63142114882211241322131211314121 DR=43142114882211241322131211314121 DR=23142114882211241322131211314121 DR=314211488221124132213121131411 DR=214211488221124132213121131411 DR=13142114882211241322131211314121 DR=33142114882211241322131211314121 DR=53142114882211241322131211314121 DR=73142114882211241322131211314121 ;This is the IFS File SQUARE.IFS { ; Albrect 2017-11-01 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -2.094 -0.769 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -2.101 -0.012 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -0.029 0.019 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -0.041 -0.761 0.250 } I put Albrecht's IFS image and MIDI format music file on my server. For the IFS fractal, I arbitrarily chose 350 iterations and the rotated Froth3.map color map shown in the screencap below: I squeezed the incorrect aspect ratio image from Fractint for Windows beta 5 (not for general distribution; renamed Iterated Dynamics) with a graphics app to make it square. I like the way the "squares" are ever-so-slightly tilted, so that they: - leave slivers of empty space *and* - overlap a sliver of the adjacent square on all size scales: Be sure to view the image full size, or your browser will likely blur the single pixels. http://tinyurl.com/SQUARE-IFS or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-01_Square_IFS.jpg Here's his 82 KB MIDI file: http://tinyurl.com/Homecoming-MID or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-01_Homecoming.MID As Albrecht's comment: - "Sometimes you walk, sometimes you take a slow path and dream, sometimes you run." implies, his nicely-counterpointed music sometimes strides along, sometimes meanders, but, always moves forward -- towards home. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

I didn't look for an image, but maybe Fractint plus an appropriate color mask could render something like it? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171030154443.htm -- David W.

Re: [Fractint] New email

I've been out of the country in Southern Africa and off the grid. The archives look OK to me right now. True that November hasn't shown up yet, but there's usually a delay. As has been mentioned, from time to time there have been problems. Sometimes the missing posts appear when the Xmission folks look at the mailman server and do magic incantations, but sometimes there's a permanent gap if there was a real server hardware problem. I have all the emails on my machine (not that that fact helps much.). I have no powers to directly look at the archives server. It is possible to grab all the archives with the httrack application.

Re: [Fractint] Update 10-29 to SDL version
by Jonathan Osuch 02 Nov '17

Folks, Fixed 'history' ('h' and 'CNTL-h'). Fixed the ant type. Sped up initial color cycling. Number pad works. Sped up response to a key press in large disk video modes. Fixed the artifacts from the blinking cursor. Updated character set to include the arrow symbols thanks to Harold Lane. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-10- 29.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2017 -10-29.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan
