    Doing fractal work for a professional musician

    in General Discussions

    I contacted a professional musician who composes electronic music and has been active since the 80s as a fan a couple of weeks ago. I merely wanted to compliment him on one of his songs as it was particularly beautiful and had a chord sequence similar to a song I composed many years ago. Other than that chord sequence, the songs were completely different. Long story short, I also showed him my fractal art. He liked it so much that he asked if I'd do some for him. I said, "Sure!" He then asked about doing fractal animation for snippets of a few of his songs. Some of his songs are quite long! Even the one I referenced above is over 20 minutes! I accepted the challenge. In fact, my PC is busy rendering the nearly 5800 frames for the animation. I wish I had a dedicated GPU as it's taking longer than I'd like to render, but the good thing is that he has no time constraint at the moment. I don't want to say who he is, but I'll say that he's based in Germany.


    On a related note, if you have not heard by Michael Hoenig and Manuel Göttsching, it's awesome! Well worth a listen! However, wait until you have a long time slot available as it's 48 minutes long!

    That reminds me of a musician friend of mine. He does art at times with his music:

    You can see my comments on almost all his videos.

    I hadn't heard of Terry. His music seems pretty cool though. I subscribed to his channel. Thanks. Funnily enough, Steve Roach, another electronic musician, lives near Tucson, AZ. I plan to reach out to him, but want to complete this project first. It might be that nothing comes of it, but time will tell.

    @David Lazarus Terry hasn't done any concerts much recently. His kind of music would suit your fractal art to a tee.

    @Craig Long - Perhaps I could reach out to Terry as well once I'm done with my current project. I wish I had a decent dedicated GPU. The frames would likely have been done rendering by now. Sadly, there are still many to go. But it's progressing. So, I'm happy about that and thankful that the musician I'm working with isn't particularly in a hurry. He's a very nice guy.

    I've been watching this Japanese guy:

    He does all the Beatles songs @Dave Sutton . The Japanese love the Beatles.

    Remember the Carpenters:

    That Japanese band is definitely good. Here's a Japanese band covering King Crimson's .

    The Japanese also love prog rock. Especially King Crimson and Genesis. Steve Hackett, formerly of Genesis, has played their many times.

    Who are your favorite electronic musicians?


    Some of mine are Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, Paul Ellis, Alan Parsons, Software and Goblin. I like Kraftwerk too, but they'd be so much better as a strictly instrumental band. I don't mind their quirky vocals. In fact, they are quite good in the song The Hall of Mirrors. However, it would be an improvement for songs like Autobahn and The Robots. There are, of course, numerous others that I like, but those are among my favorites.

    Actually I don't have any favorites offhand that I can think of. I just find things on the internet and listen to whatever comes up. I like the old stuff pretty much.

    @Craig Long - Yes, I enjoy rock n roll and several sub-genres of such from the late 60s through the 90s. There are even bands that formed in 2000 or later that I enjoy. I'd say fewer from then than the previous, say, 35 years. In addition, I enjoy many forms of classical music, jazz and what has occasionally been labeled "world music".
