| COMPOSERS |
| These pages are primarily intended for fellow composers, but may be of interest to other visitors as well. There is much work to be done here... I envision a tree structure linking families of .min files based on a common idea to individual .min files, and thence to the midi files produced by them, including many variations for which the .min was not saved. This page is still under construction: eventually there will be explanations of the origin and techniques behind the many compositions here. For now, I am simply presenting fractal music Midi files I have created using MusiNum. Some of the more recent have not yet been named; those that are named all include the original working titles, which relate back to the underlying MusiNum (.min) files used to create them. The numbers give a fairly good idea of the order in which they were created; the letter designations (113A, 113B, etc.) group the files by the underlying .min files used to create them. Besides fractal music, these pieces could be called generative music, experimental music, ambient music, meditation music, new age music, among other labels; none is more right than the others. |
Featured piece: Spring Thaw (202) |
| These fractal music pieces are far more lengthy than those on the MusiNum site itself, most often an hour in length... Beginning with the 100's, most of them have the "zero" point in the middle, which often creates an interesting effect wherein things change more and more quickly toward the center point, and then smooth out again on the other side, much like a comet approaching and then leaving the Sun. Most of the earlier (two-digit) creations simply start at the zero point and work themselves out from there. I experimented with scripts in a number of the earlier pieces, sometimes changing the instrumentation, sometimes turning various voices on and off, sometimes changing parameters such as the Mod setting, but in later pieces was more interested in letting the internal logic of the original settings show through. Often the changes are gradual and work themselves out subtly as the piece develops: many of the pieces might be found suitable for meditation; indeed, I have found myself "zoning out" after listening to certain pieces over an extended period. |
