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.

Mandebrot: Xylophone Burning Ship: Screams from the gates of hell

4:05 is just what nostalgia sounds like to us 90s kids. "You've got mail!"

As a sound designer and audio engineer, this was absolutely thrilling. Thank you for making the program publicly available <3

"I play the Piano!" "I play the Drums!" "I play the Violin!" I PLAY THE MANDELBROT SET

He went from "Mary Has a Little Lamb" to "Screams of the Damned" real quick

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!

"Some sound really creepy" *modem sounds

Damn, this math stuff ranges from "naturally beautiful" to "Eldritch horror."

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

The burning ship fractal sounds like an old ass computer that gained sentience and had an existential crisis

This musician in England created software for Windows 95 called Gingerbread, and it was based on the Mandelbrot set. Some of my music was created using it.
