Hi,
Interesting, and I would like to add something to it, if you don't mind, and this, is from a DIRECTOR's point of view, not from the visual entertainment side of things.
One of the things that is important to me in music, is the visuals that I get from it, and some of it, specially when the music is "out there" and unrecognizable, so to speak, is how the movement of the fractals work on the screen.
So, in a psychic show in the 1990's that I did with an artist here in Vancouver that drew "angels", her style was extremely free form and used free flowing fast lines, and then she would decorate them a bit better to illustrate the detail.
On that one Friday, with a musician on the other end of the room that was a good friend of mine, Vina started a drawing and had created the main lines and some secondary detail lines on it, and it was already a lively detailed piece.
I had an idea!
I asked Vina for the piece of art, and took it to the musician (Herb Ernst) and told him to look at the drawing, and that the whole piece was the composition and the lines/detail were the various parts of the composition, and all he had to do was interpret them.
The piece ended up being about 10 minutes long, and it was incredible, and had by the time it came to an end, brought in a bunch of people wondering what that music was ... and a couple of the other psychics on the show were impressed.
The way I see it, each movement is "an instrument", and to me, this is the part of the MTV generation that hurt the music ... it ignored the music and interspersed it with something else that was actually a distraction to the music itself.
I like your fractal use, however, I would love to see it defined a bit better, to "interpret" the music more, and make the fractals even more effective ... and my favorite example of music to do this with? "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares" by Tangerine Dream ... and I am still hoping to get that done before I leave this world.
Interpreting music is important, but FOR ME, it's not just a secondary visual thing, and many will say that it is a personal interpretation ... I am not totally convinced of that or you and I and others would not necessary care for it ... there has to be a solid connection, for the music to get stronger, and the visual to identify the music even better.
And this is where all the psychedelic shows went wrong ... it wasn't about the music anymore, and the lighting in most rock shows these days ... it is horrible!
Yours is nice and enjoyable ... I guess I would like to see more and better. I will try to see if I can scan the picture for this example (I have it somewhere!), however the piece of music, I am not sure my cassette copy of it is in any shape ... last time I heard it, it wobbled badly! Maybe, I can find Herb and see if he still has a copy of it, but we're talking almost 25 years now. I think he is about my age, now.
