Try it out now! codeparade.itch.io/fractal-sound-explorer
Making music and sound effects directly from common fractals was an idea I though of one night, so I just had to try it out to see what it would be like. The results were really interesting and actually helped me understand even more about fractals and chaos.

    He went from "Mary Has a Little Lamb" to "Screams of the Damned" real quick
  • "I play the Piano!" "I play the Drums!" "I play the Violin!" I PLAY THE MANDELBROT SET
  • As a sound designer and audio engineer, this was absolutely thrilling. Thank you for making the program publicly available <3

    "So you're a musician too, what do you play?" "Fractals"

    Way back in the 80s my friends laughed in my dumb face for asking this exact question! I told them that I think all you have to do is assign correlating sounds to the colors, or something like that. Eyes rolled, snickering was heard and cringe was felt. I dumped them and found smarter friends. Thank you SO MUCH for this!!! I'm not very highly edumacated in this department, so please forgive me if I didn't get my original problem solving quite right. Some of this sounds like a fax machine, I love it!

    Damn, this math stuff ranges from "naturally beautiful" to "Eldritch horror."
  • Me, going into this thinking: "Ooohhh I bet they make really melodious, harmonic tones, like an angel's harp or a deep, resonant chord." Reality: Demonic summoning circles, anime magic seals and HELLISH COMPUTER SCREAMS OF ABYSSAL CHAOS

    I spent a lot of my youth listening to modems negotiate connection for BBS and early internet connectivity. Starting at 4:09, all those points sound VERY similar to analog modem traffic. Very near a fractal representation of analog modem traffic. Super cool
