🙏 Yeah, in a way: Mine For me this translation of sound into visuals is magical and something that leaves me breathlessly in awe of the universe... ❤️

Awesome work there James with Osci-Render, really bonkers what it can do! ❤️🙏🥳

I don't think I have synesthesia like that, but I often envision visual things through sound phenomena and the other way around. I find the oscilloscope music scene very inspiring in that it takes that aspect very literally, although my urge would be to have both beautiful sound as well as visuals and that may need a less 1:1 translation. It's something I explore for a long time and haven't found a clear solution for. Maybe that's why I do not really make "normal music"...

@@thomashelzle i can see sounds after i smoke weed sometimes

Yeah, it seems psychedelics can help with that, I don't have any experience there though...

@@thomashelzle weed and shrooms are definitely worth trying. Nothing to worry about there.

I feel a bit old for that - I'll turn 60 soon - but who knows what life will bring... ;-)

Thanks!

Thank you Bedirhan! ❤️🙏

For the visuals, I work in Tooll3 (tooll.io/) which is an open source realtime animation software based on nodes that you connect to create complex generative systems. A bit like visual programming. This piece started with 50 points that get moved around by a symmetrical fractal noise. They are connected into a polygon with the shader I mentioned in the description, duplicated and offset differently they create an animated image on which particles are created based on brightness and fed into a particle system as an emitter. The same image is also made into a normal map and used as a particle force. That together with some image effects leads to this result :-)

I would subscribe to that personally. Not sure it's an outside force but to me it's a state of flow and non-thinking/planing that is the most productive, where I'm just doing and not trying. Somebody called it "Out of your mind and into your senses"... Cheers! 👍

Thanks for the nice comment! Yeah, I plan to do more, but am working on another project (all Tooll) ATM. I fully agree - of all the realtime applications, Tooll is the only one that really makes sense, is very fast to work with and has a nice node-size balance. And it's very artist-centric as well as easy to develop for. I'll keep your suggestions in mind and see what I can come up with. Cheers! Tom

You are welcome ;-) It's a bit hard to debug over the distance - I'd recommend going through it once again and see where you may have gone astray. From your description, I can't make out a clear direction to look for, but such is debugging... It drives you mad and you think you have it all correct until you find that one missing thing... :-) Best of luck!

@@thomashelzle Thank you very much! It seems I've used a float where I should have used a float3! Seriously awesome instructions.

Awesome you got it working! Yeah, it usually is something simple but sometimes can be superhard to track down anyway. Cool you could find it so fast. Cheers!

Thank you! That warms my heart :-)

Yeah, if you know any common coding language, HLSL should feel rather familiar. LUA is not that far off with dot syntax for variables etc. This page has all the available commands: learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/direct3dhlsl/dx-graphics-hlsl-intrinsic-functions I can also recommend looking at other simple shaders in Tooll3 to get a bit of a feel for how it's used...

Thanks! ❤️ This one came straight from the heart. It's how I often feel these days. On one level its clear that humanity as we know it is about to expire, which induces panic with no clear direction to turn to. On another, there is this calm place inside of me that isn't disturbed in the least by all the outside turmoil.

Great! :-) Let me expand on those two: i is the counter variable of the "Particles" buffer. It is a three dimensional vector array of integers that is increased per particle, but we use only the first dimension, which is accessed with .x (the others would be .y and .z). We could also write i[0] to access it, if you are more familiar with that notation for arrays. So with 1 million particles for each of which our code is repeated per frame (!), i.x will be 0 for the first particle, 1 for the second, 2 for the third and so on up to 999999, so that we know which one we are working on. hash11 is defined in the #include file hash-functions.hlsl that you can find in your installation in Resources/lib/shared. "hash" is often used as a name for pseudo-random number generators, "11" in this library means, that it receives one input and delivers one output. You can also think of it as hash11(seed). So it returns a different pseudo-random float value between 0 and 1 for every input value, every particle in this case. Pseudo-random means, that it will return the same random number for the same input value, so that the same particle number i.x will always yield the same random value. This is important if you think of a stream of particles: The one that is faster than the others should always be faster on every frame, the slow one should be slow on every frame, so that we get a consistent result (real random numbers are hardly useful in animation actually). You may be more familiar with something like rnd(seed) from other languages.

@@thomashelzle so kind,got it,i need time to get into the new world,thx again

You are very welcome! 🙏 And yes, give it time to wrap your head around. It took me half a year to get comfortable with it and it will probably take me much longer before I REALLY grok it all... ;-) Learning is the best thing in live - I'm 59 and just starting with this new adventure... ❤️😎

The rotational part yes, although I also use a custom noise force here that is not part of the tutorial. I'm uploading the tutorial right now so stay tuned ;-)

The tutorial is live now! ua-cam.com/video/j95VZXGAbwE/v-deo.html

....and a mighty voice says: "Was guggst du"?

Not sure yet, I'm still improving the force... ;-)

@@thomashelzle The video is perfect as it is. And thank you for your time and effort. Cheer up!

The tutorial is mostly technical about how to write shaders and create operators BTW., I don't cover this animation or the others where I use the force.

The tutorial is live now: ua-cam.com/video/j95VZXGAbwE/v-deo.html Enjoy!

Yeah, really beautiful voice there! :-) It is mostly four layers of this at different speeds and pitches: d1 $ repeatCycles 2 $ n (scale "harmonicMinor" $ struct "t(5,7,<0 4 3 1 2>)" $ (irand 8)) |+ n "a4" # sound "loopMIDI" # midichan 0 #amp (range 0.7 1 perlin) The numbers samples use: d9 $ slow 4 $ n "[0 [1 2]]" # sound "numbers" # n (irand 10) # amp 1 # pan (rand * 0.75) The interesting thing for me was the repeatCycles to make the randomness into repeating patterns. I wrote similar things in the past in Processing, but that was way more involved. I send the Midi to Bitwig via loopMidi and into the "Noire" Piano.

Thanks! 😄 Love it too! :-)

@@thomashelzle Indeed! :^)

As long as humans don't understand that all we do is informed and motivated by trauma, not "free will", or "consciousness" or "intelligence", I see little hope of getting out of the circles of destruction. If we manage to transcend trauma, we may become wise after all...

👍Yeah, Tooll3 is great in that it encourages you to go further and experiment with those basic ingredients. I hadn't heard of Lenia but recently I stumbled over particle-life.com/ which I found pretty amazing...

@@thomashelzle There's a lot of cool artificial life (ALife) models out there, including ones that are supposedly very open-ended and can continue to show evolution. Recently I've been following along with the T2 Tile Project, and though a lot of it's over my head, it's still neat to think about.

@@PunmasterSTP Yeah, those models are really lovely, but I'm not fully there yet either ;-)

👍Yeah, that's how life is supposed to be, if you let your curiosity take the lead... ;-)

Thanks a lot! :-)

I don't know the movie so wouldn't know... ;-)

Good question, next question

It's a reaction-diffusion system in Tooll3 - a very simple form of this: www.karlsims.com/rd.html, using a blur and a sharpen filter in a loop :-)

Thank you! 😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

When you apply blur and sharpen filters in combination on a starting structure (can be anything, here it's my companies name ;-) ) in a feedback-loop, a structure called "Reaction-Diffusion" emerges. It is very common in nature, on many fish (think little Nemo), zebras, even tigers but also happens in chemistry when mixing two or more ingredients that do not mix but interact. Organic, even-spaced stripes that are interconnected in very interesting ways, depending on the substances or settings in this case. From the white part of that, I emit particles that are moved from their starting points on the texture with a fractal noise force and change colour over time. Does that give you an idea?

yes, it does! it can all be described mathematically it seems. find it quite fascinating how the same patterns come up in different enviroments and can be described as a single event. the "blur and sharpen filters" helped me a lot on intuitively understanding how it works. thanks for your explanation, amazing visuals!

Yeah - using blur and sharpen filters is the "naive" or simple way and not as flexible as if one implements the full formula of Gray-Scott Reaction-Diffusion or the other models. That is deeper and allows for more variety in the resulting structures. But it's quite nice already and with some modulation of the parameters, can lead to beautiful results. I implemented a more complex RD kernel in SideFX Houdini some years ago: ua-cam.com/video/ZxTHcbxAqq8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/3mtp7iXE1WA/v-deo.html I just totally love those patterns :-) I may implement one in Tooll3 one day too in HLSL.

Hahaha - yeah, lots of possible associations there... ;-) Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks! One of my favorites! :-)

Thank you! :-)

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! 🙏 Yeah, I first saw it as a blooming flower, then as a space nebula I'm flying through backwards while rotating but I can also totally see a morphing eye! 👍 I love those polymorphic things 🤩

It's a particle animation in Tooll3 that is driven by the generative soundtrack I created in Bitwig Studio. A custom noise force with symmetry allows for the mirrored look. An also customised depth of field effect does the blurring/bokeh. Otherwise it's mostly fiddling with the parameters until it feels right... ;-)

Thank you! Trying out new things and sounds... :-)

🙏 Ha - thanks a lot! Love it too :-)

Thanks! :-)

Yeah, somehow the comments seem to be remixed too ;-) Nice work!

Thank you! :-)
