Andromeda 1

Holy sci fi!

nicely disturbing; maybe a tad too linear here and there, but that's certainly due to the formula. - i wonder if this could work with superformula and if so, what would be the output..

I can definitely hear the Dune soundtrack in this. Nice work on the Reaktor instrument! It'll be interesting to hear what else you end up doing with it.

Thanks guys. Wildgeas: Yeah I got a definite "It's full of stars" vibe and I'm thinking of renaming the Reaktor ensemble TMA-2. I suspect the sampler based version will always be a bit this way because of the granular nature of the sounds. When I use the collision sequencer to drive an additive oscillator bank it might get more interesting. Or not ;-) Nebulonic: Glad you like it. As to the type of equations it is an incredibly simple analog of a 2D gas. 64 particles are represented by (X,Y,direction,energy) in a 100x100 vessel. Brighter particles have more energy and travel faster. CR/SS: Thanks... I find some of the tones generated remind me of the background sounds from David Lynch's Dune movie (a favourite when I were a lad). Johnny: Thanks man. More to come.

I was just telling my son about your original program a while ago. I showed him the video you made for this. It's a GREAT example of how science and creativity work together. I think you are stumbling onto things that you aren't aware of...not talking about the goofy black hole idea. :)

I can't imagine, I'm back to check this thing out again. This is awesome to watch.

Your technical and creative skills came together amazingly well in this one. As for the noise, I did the calulations and I have come to the conclusion that the reason you have all the noise is that the frequencies being generated are opening tiny holes between us and a quantum neighbor. The holes are slowly leaking energy from the other dimension into ours. This leaked energy is entering our brains as well. Your quantum self knew you were going to do this in our dimension. So he created a program that he is injecting into the hole...and bit by bit..he is reprogramming our brains. So.. THANKS ALOT!! lol But seriously. This is well beyond interesting! Just hope the andromeda strain isn't coming true... Speaking of life in other places...didn't they find life on mars similar to pond scum??

May I ask what type of equations you used?? What kind of particles? Is the box supposed to be like a vacuum as it is in space? It would be interesting to know how many collisions are occuring. And..do you think you could do this with REAL particles? You would probably have to utilize the MADD device. Magnetic Anomoly Detector. It can detect disturbances in the magetic field of Earth. Dist. as small as a school of fish swimming in the ocean. Thanks for sharing...this triggers ones imagination for sure. And it's sounds alot more interesing than sci-fi from the 70's. Have you checked out that software which allows you to hear what certain molecules sound like? Everything emits sound... on second though, maybe you should be careful..you may be calling meet-eating aliens to our planet. hehe I'f also like to see what the brain looks like when listening to this.

Cool vid mate and a very cool experiment. Great sounds.

On a more serious note, that's some experiment in sound. The video is wild!

is that you Dave?

Where are you?

I am so first
