Hi all, I want one of these!... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AklKy2NDpqs Interested in what others think of this - sort of like generative music as a board...
is there freeware/shareware for fractal composition on the mac? i know there's symbolic composition, but unless you pay almost $400.00, you don't get access to...
There have been various attempts to convert the Mandelbrot set into sound, more or less unsuccessful. However there is one way which i have recently thought...
As a fractal object, it's scale-free, if I'm not mistaken. For that reason, I think it's not very easy to know exactly what we are really mapping if we ...
I seem to remember seeing something along these lines (pixel data value to audio-sample value mapping) done with CSound many years ago... you might find...
I've no doubt that Tim C. will have something to say about this..... But... to answer your question, go here: http://tamw.atari-users.net/ There are more than...
My Meager understanding of the process would be more like the process used to produce a fractal image, that is iterating particular formulas on points where...
I think KeyKit may do something like this, and there are I think a number of others that do some kind of image to sound transformation. Can't say they use the...
Keykit deals only with midi, not audio samples. A little google searching should easily find image-to-sound converters of various types, here’s the first one...
True, but as I recall, KeyKit does have the ability to scan charactoristics of images in a particular format and produce interesting "sound" in MIDI format,...
and I guess also artsong can generate some stuff with lots of parameters to play with go here--> hhttp://www.artsong.org/ best jacky ... De: PhilJackson...
CNFractal here has a member, Lauri Grohn, who does a lot of music work with images, but he was disenchanted about the musical possibilities of fractal images....
As i should have stated clearly enough from the start, what i'm suggesting is generating sound waves out of the shape, not mapping it to pitches. The idea is...
Does anyone know ... There is a wonderful program here: http://tamw.atari-users.net/fmc.htm which runs on PC with this http://tamw.atari-users.net/steem.htm ...
... Those kinds of solutions are more a kind of new instruments than composing systems. Synestesia sw, e.g., generates a whole piece (midi file) in 5 seconds....
I'm currently working on a program to do this myself. However, the only language i know and have is QBasic, which is terribly and unnecessarily slow for this...
Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 express is free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vb/ I haven't used it but I should expect it to work (I'm a Visual C# programmer...
Well, i've managed to make a more efficient version ,but the result is rather disapponting. I guess it's basically just noise, though it has some interesting...
While working with the home made programs discussed in the previous thread, i got an idea that someone here might want to try realizing. What if, instead of...
Oh, and possibly, one could just use the real or imaginary "line" of Z for each pixel, rather than the full two dimensional plane. That would greatly reduce...
You might consider getting a used Cray supercomputer. Or I am sure that "Blue Gene" can probably be had for the right price ;-) Sunday Humor.... Phil J....
Considering that a lot of the original fractal software was meant to run on a 386 or less, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that you could...
The problem of using pictures for generating music is not in the limeted amount of data. Even 400 x 400 pixel photos contain 640000 bytes of data. The...
