    A fractal Bizarro square cube of a world exists far off and nestled within the fractal clouds. We soar through this cloud cube world with a morphing rotating double cube, that periodically combines with the ground scenery and melts the universe into itself wherever they touch.
    Music: I started out trying to make a J-Pop pop tune, and all I had was a drum loop algorithm that I found on the internet that was labeled "J-Pop Disco" and no other backing tracks. So I thought it would be fun to bring in country-flavor baritone guitar, and some Celtic fingerpicking on a 12-string acoustic, and make a country J-Pop song. And then I added fiddle to the whole thing, and suddenly I had my hook with a catchy melody and real song sections. I actually have vocal melodies all blocked out and ready for me to figure out what this song is going to be about.
    But for now, here is the instrumental I'm calling "J-Pop Country."

    Really interesting graphics on this one. And somehow the music fits right in. You could go a lot of different directions as far as theme. I'm certain that whatever you choose is gonna be just right. Thanks again and Be Cool.

      Thank you very much! I had a long long comment about country music and accidentally hit cancel instead of reply. Darn it! I was talking about how much I love the baritone guitar, which I literally didn't realize that existed in rock music and now I find out the Beatles and lots of other groups used it all the time. And that I love Willie Nelson but hate "pop" country music as a genre. Expect to hear a lot more baritone guitar, because I love it. Oh, I had a long paragraph about using fiddle for the first time, although I've used string groups many times and classical violin. Scott Kerr of SINKERR of course plays amazing violin, and we've done 2 or 3 tunes together with violin, but I've never used country "fiddle" before, which is really just a violin without vibrato and with blues licks, as I hear/see/understand it. I'll definitely be using fiddle again, and the vocal melodies (which you haven't heard yet because I'm writing lyrics) actually were taken directly from the lines I made for the fiddle. So that will come soon. Darn it, I guess I should write these replies in a word file in case I mess it up, and that other reply that I killed was a great set of paragraphs about country music. Ah, fat fingers! Thanks as always, Rick!

    How much time does one of these take?

      Well, I've got several graphics cards working on these, including 6 2070s, a 3080TI, and a 3090Ti, and then a few different CPUs as well. Typically, I can do a five-minute video of 24 or 30 fps in about a day, or maybe 2 days at the very most.

      @@StephenSink wow, then a real work of art! It’s often hard to see just how impressive something is in art unless you’ve dabbled in that respective field of art yourself.
