Fractal

Fifty One

Some nice relaxing beeping noises

Even tempered beeping

Cricket dance

Generated using a fractal algorithm. The picture corresponds to the fractal used to generate the track. 

Floating

Generated by a fractal algorithm. No wood or frogs involved. 

Wooden Frogs

Generated with a fractal algorithm, based on a sample of me counting to three. 

One two three

Inside imaginary machines 2

Where were we

Meep Meep

Generated with a fractal algorithm. Based on some vocals I was doing for another song.

Reflection

Computer generated fractal music. See www.fractalmusicmachine.com/fractal-explanation for details. Based on a vocal sample. 

Drifting

Computer generated by a fractal algorithm from a vocal sample.

Window

Fractal music: computer generated by repeating a pattern within itself several generations deep. 

Soulless automatic clockwork music

Fractal music. The pattern is automatically generated from a seed. The sounds are taken from a clip of me doing some vocal improvisations. 

In a Green Pool

"Will the Circle Be Unbroken", sung by myself, made into a fractal. For more on fractal music see www.fractalmusicmachine.com.

Circle

I sang a bit of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken", fractalized it, and put some more vocal harmonies on top.

Underbrush

Unbroken

This is based on the fractal in the picture. 

An audio clip is split into fragments. Up and down represents the location in the clip where the fragment starts. Left to right represents time within the track. Many layers of the fragment starting at different times are stacked together, creating an echo effect.

Kyrie (Geometric Clouds)

This is a slightly new direction for me, I am using python to generate fractals in MIDI and importing them into Ableton to add the sounds. This is using Ableton's Operator synth and basic sounds. This is for the Disquiet open mic. Feedback is welcome, I am especially interested in pointers on how to improve my synth sounds. 

Disquiet Junto Project 0336: Open Mic
Share a piece of music you’re working on in the interest of getting feedback.

Step 1: Choose a track/composition you’re working on that isn’t quite finished. Share the recording on the Lines forum at llllllll.co (see specific URL below).

Step 2: When posting the track, mention that you’re looking for feedback, and if applicable specify some aspects of the recording you might want feedback on.

Six More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0336” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your track.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0336” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your track. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your track.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0336-open-mic/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Other Details:

Deadline: This project’s deadline is 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are on Monday, June 11, 2018. This project was posted in the late afternoon, California time, on Thursday, June 7, 2018.

Length: The length of your track is up to you.

Title/Tag: When posting your track, please include “disquiet0336” in the title of the track, and where applicable (on SoundCloud, for example) as a tag.

Upload: When participating in this project, post one finished track with the project tag, and be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is preferable that your track is set as downloadable, and that it allows for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution).

Linking: When posting the track online, please be sure to include this information:
