Don't know about sound => fractal, perhaps some fractal generation code could be adapted to run in CSound, PureData or SuperCollider (FOSS sound generation programming languages). I've thought about a "music" in which notes might have "fractal fuzziness" to them - for example, what looks like a quarter note is really 8 simultaneous (or non-simultaneous) 32nd notes, each having a frequency that is some fractally-derived distance from the base quarter note's frequency, and perhaps their timing/duration could also be fractally derived ... I'm still looking for a good program that can convert a fractal => MIDI sound file. I have an old DOS program around here somewhere, but it quite outputting proper files several generations of DOS Windows ago ... There's this one, although I don't run Windows to try it out: http://www.nicolasfournel.com/audiopaint.htm JackOfTradeZ@comcast.net wrote:
I have always wondered if there could be a fractal program to convert sound fed into it into a visual fractal, either a still or an animation. Seems it should be possible; the sound data could "seed" the equation(s) in the fractal generator.
I would like to compare what we get with classic Beatles and Doors compared with todays garbage rock. Classics and Jazz would be interesting also.
Just musing ....
Still trying to animate the PakMan .... not much luck yet ....
Stay cool.
