Fractal Music Composer" software lets users create intricate fractal music that can be varied by adjusting parameters. The software allows composition to be played on a music keyboard, PC, and in historical or exotic tunings. The tool provides the ability to retune compositions and play chord progressions with ease.
This software is a must-have for any music lover looking to create intricate traceries of music with ease. With the ability to take ideas from visual fractals and apply them to music, the resulting compositions are highly structured on multiple layers but still sound natural, much like bird song or the sound of wind.
Even those with no background in music can use this program with ease! The pre-existing tunes included in the software can be chosen and then manipulated with various instruments and parameters to produce unique new tunes. Experienced composers will also greatly benefit from using this program as an inspiration and source of melodic ideas, as well as a form of "algo-comp."
The ability to work outside of the equal tempered twelve tone system creates limitless possibilities for creativity. Utilize authentic historical temperaments for keyboards from Bach or Mozart's time, Indonesian Gamelan tunings, Indian music with drones, modern exotic tunings such as non-octave scales, and musical geometries with intricately symmetrical patterns of chords.
Play directly in any tuning using a music keyboard or retune compositions with ease. Enter any chord progression as text and play it in any tuning. Create fibonacci rhythms that are highly structured but never repeat exactly. There's even a mouse theremin which can play sliding chords! Plus, the program has a built-in wave shape player to play mathematically exact waves and CSound support.
Complete with extensive help, an online wiki, tutorials, FAQ, example midi clips and tunes, and much more, this program is an ultimate tool for anyone looking to create beautiful music effortlessly.
