I know of a program called "Wav Composer Not Toilet" (which won't compile these days) which generates audio files, and it has an "orbit" module which uses the threeply/hopalong/quadrup fractals bounded within -1.0 and 1.0. One of the examples built by it, the tones of the sounds are fractally modulated, and actually the tones themselves and their timings are fractally modulated, but not quite in the way you suggest. the example is here, and i've been told it's a bit scary: http://jwm-art.net/art/audio/price_crash.mp3 i'm guessing PD/Chuck/Csound/alsamodular/spiralsound/etc could do something along the same lines in realtime. james. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
