(this is a better place for my concern
Dear All,
working together with a sculpturist/instrument-builder at the moment, who creates acoustic music-instruments on the edge of order and chaos - that is, inspired by chaos theories of Lorentz and Mandelbrot -
I am looking for additional inspiration with respect to 'chaos and/in music'. Being relatively unexperienced with chaos theory, systems, algorithms and their added value for music: is anybody here experienced with the implementation of this kind of thoughts/elements into kyma? For example with embedding Lorentz equations in a kyma patch?
Also hints with respect to good literature, websites, of course music, composers, maybe masters (?) in this area are very welcome.
Just looking for diverse input, so that the output will be accordingly, hopefully :-)
Best,

Florian

Hi Florian! You may want to have a look at Paul Berg's AC Toolbox (you can download it from www.koncon.nl). It has several chaotic functions implemented as generators in lisp, and you can easily add others yourself if you know a little bit of lisp. You can use the AC Toolbox to send data driectly to the capybara. It only works with mac though (another good reason to get that macmini?).

Hi Hector,
I still have this old imac (around 400Mhz), which I used exclusively
for metasynth. Do you think that's enough to run AC Toolbox with the
capy?
Best, Flor

Well, give it a try! It should work, though it may have some issues. I'm pretty unhappy with the performance of my 500 mhz ibook, but it works. There's a lot of really interesting things you can do with the AC Toolbox and Kyma, so I highly recommend it.

Best,

Hector
