AMBIENT MUSIC, BEGINNINGS AND IMPLICATIONS. by Chris Melchior INTRODUCTION Ambient music has arisen recently out of many diverse roots in music and the arts, and has implications that are varied and interesting because they overlap with so many fascinating concepts in art, science and philosophy. DEFINITIONS OF CONCEPTS: Music, fractals, ambient From Webster's 3rd New International Dictionary of the English Language, unabridged, the definition of music is "the science or art of incorporating pleasing, expressive or intelligible combinations of vocal and instrumental tones into a composition having definite structure and continuity," or alternatively :- "Vocal or instrumental sounds having rhythm, melody or harmony." i.e. music is defined as only consisting of vocal or instrumental sounds, and it is implied that it has linear rather than fractal structural qualities (see the definition of fractals, below). Given this definition of music, is John Cage's 4 minutes 33 (see below) music, as it doesn't necessarily have any vocal or instrumental sounds, or linear structural qualities? The definition of 'ambient' from Webster's is :- "to go around, surround, encompass. An encompassing environment, or atmosphere" [1]. If one combines the above definitions from Webster's [1], ambient music would be vocal or instrumental tones having linear structural qualities, and creating an encompassing environment. This is clearly not a good definition of ambient music, as ambient music does not necessarily have any linear structural qualities or instrumental or vocal tones. So, attemting to reach a definition of ambient music by combining the definitions from Webster's [1] of music and ambient, is not proving to be successful.

Fractal From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Fractals The Mandelbrot set , named after its discoverer, is a famous example of a fractal. The Mandelbrot set , named after its discoverer, is a famous example of a fractal. A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and so which appears to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Some of the best examples can be divided into parts, each of which is similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and they may actually have a self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of magnification. In many cases, a fractal can be generated by a repeating pattern, in a typically recursive or iterative process. The term fractal was coined in by Beno®t Mandelbrot , from the Latin fractus or "broken". Before Mandelbrot coined his term, the common name for such structures (the Koch snowflake , for example) was monster curve Fractals of many kinds were originally studied as mathematical objects. Fractal geometry is the branch of mathematics which studies the properties and behaviour of fractals. It describes many situations which cannot be explained easily by classical geometry, and has often been applied in

If you enjoy this website, please visit my other one. Las Vegas Fine Art So, what is art? Art is something made by an artist. What is good art? Good art is stuff you like. Bad art is stuff you do not like. There, you now have the equivalent of an MFA which normally takes 6 years of advanced study. So, how can you recognize an artist? An artist has three main characteristics: first, visionan artist sees things differently. second, abilityto communicate what he or she sees. third, artistic temperamentall artists, good or bad, think that their stuff is the absolute greatest. (or else why bother?) So, what is on this site? First, and most importantly, galleries of my new art form for the 21st century. Here you will find hand blown glass from my previous life.

Fractals and multi layer coloring algorithms Javier Barrallo and Santiago Sanchez Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science The University of the Basque Country School of Architecture. Plaza Onati, 2. E-mail: mapbacaj@sa.ehu.es Abstract The focus of exploration in new fractal techniques is shifting away from fractal formulas and towards coloring algorithms. This paper provides an overview of the coloring algorithms in popular use and how they can be combined and superposed. We call these multi layer fractals, and they are the source of some of the richest fractal imagery being produced today. In this way, even a limited collection of fractal coloring algorithms can be combined in almost endless ways. 1. Dynamical systems and fractals Dynamical systems are a well-known branch of mathematics, but until the arrival of computers the sheer number of calculations involved made them impractical for real use. The computer’s ability to perform rapid calculations allows us to condense billions of calculations into results we can digest. Benoit Mandelbrot was the first one to use computers to produce graphical representations of dynamical systems in the complex plane, based on the quadratic formulas described by the French mathematician Gaston Julia at the beginning of the 20th century. During the 1980s, fractal enthusiasts began exploring fractals for their artistic merit, not for their mathematical significance. While mathematics was the tool, the focus was art. As the fractal equation itself was the most obvious mathematical element, fractal artists experimented with new equations, introducing hundreds of different fractal types. By carefully choosing parameters to refine form, color, and location, these explorers introduced the concept of fractal art.

Fractal Music Fractals don't necessarily have to be represented graphically. Due to their self similar nature and infinite variation, many fractals lend themselves to being interpreted as a form of music. The quality of sound produced will depend to a large extent on the quality of the sound system available with the computer used, as well as to the sophistication on the fractal music generation software. Fractal music generation can be as simple as a single audio tone, varying in pitch in a seemingly random fashion, or it can be multiple musical instrument voices, varying in pitch and volume in a complex melodic and rhythmic pattern. Fractal music has undergone a lot of change in it's brief history. The quality will vary from noise ,to electronic windchimes, to a complex well developed musical theme. There are several good web sites dedicated to the creation of Fractal Music. Lars Kindermann's Musinum site is one of the best. It can create fractal music in real time as well as having a large collection of some of the best efforts in this realm in both midi and MP3 format. It also has links to other fractal music resources such as software for the creation of fractal music and other fractal music sites.

Computational Musicology mainly deals with the computational aspects of music as both of micro and macro level such as wave, frequency, scale, theme, harmony, counterpoint, etc. The importance of computational musicology has been increasing since the advent of the computer, a new and powerful musical instrument in music history.

Fractal Music Method by Jung, Sung Young Music and interesting sounds have specific structures in the spectral domain. Many of well-known fractals also have similar structures such as repetition, variation, similarity in micro and macro level. We can listen to the beauty of fractal world through sound. You can hear a rythm and melody which are hidden inside of fractal. Rythm and melody can be produced by the spectral transformation from fractal. click to listen to this fractals on sound 2.1 Fractal world on the spectrum domain

179. Welcome To The Fractal Foundation Inspiring and educating people about fractals, Chaos Theory and the interconnectedness of complex systems. http://www.fractalfoundation.org

...is to educate and inspire people about mathematics, art, science, chaos theory and nature. We focus particularly on efforts to reach young people with our educational programs , and we also connect with adults through our scholarship and art sponsorship programs. We believe that understanding the Principles of Chaos Theory - which are so beautifully illustrated by fractals - is essential to harmonious and sustainable living. No longer is it safe to assume that the cultural, economic and ecological systems in which we live are discrete, linear, disconnected. Rather, we must begin teaching ourselves and our children that the World is a non-linear, unpredictable, interconnected complex system. This radical new paradigm, only recently realized in the new science of Chaos Theory, is still virtually absent from conventional education. The Fractal Foundation seeks to bring these new ways of thinking into the mainstream. The Fractal Foundation educates people about Chaos Theory and Fractals and encourages participation in art, mathematics, and computer technology by: Providing educational materials, presentations and software to school children (K-12), teaching them to explore fractals themselves.
