Here's a strange attractor app for anybody who's interested. It's code I found while digging around looking for some math/art apps. http://www.thinginajar.com/bigtony/StrangeAttractor.exe Click in the window to generate a new random pattern. The longer it runs the more gets filled in. > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Peters" <mp@mpeters.de> > To: "Loopers Delight" <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> > Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 4:15 PM > Subject: RE: Impossible Music review > > >>> Michal i think a lot of us would be also interested in the >>> making proccess of this very interesting and delightful CD >>> feel free to tell us! >> >> thanks Luis ... well I don't want to go into too much detail because it >is >> OT ... no music loops involved, although ... when I think of it, the >> process >> of iterating through a mathematical formula is a loop !!! it really >is.
