Music from The Scumfrong – Full Moon at the Lagoon

I’ve always been captivated by the ceaseless struggle between chaos and harmony in systems, particularly in the biological realm where DNA orchestrates the battleground for these opposing forces. This intricate mathematical fractal delves into the emergence of life across different scales. Accompanying it is music by Tipper, an artist I discovered during my time at Burning Man. One morning, while navigating a disoriented walk to the portable restroom with lingering traces of LSD in my system, I stumbled upon a camp featuring a massive airplane structure with speakers as its jet engines. A solitary DJ atop the structure played this very song. With no one else on the makeshift dancefloor, I stood there in my underwear, absorbed in the music and visualizing an array of images reminiscent of this fractal.

Music: Dreamstars by Tipper

Brass and Unity just shared a podcast I recently recorded with them. We cover all sorts of topics including Art, AI and DMT. You can listen here or watch it…

Immerse yourself in a world of enchantment with my latest 3D visual fractal meditation, an entrancing odyssey that weaves together a tapestry of delicate, soothing hues to gently guide you into uncharted realms of serenity. As you venture into this kaleidoscopic dreamscape, you’ll find your senses delightfully intrigued and your soul stirred by the subtle complexities and harmonies of the colors before you.

To elevate the experience further, this mesmerizing meditation is masterfully synchronized with the captivating, ethereal sounds of Jon Hopkins’ evocative track, “Singing Bowls.” The resonant vibrations and celestial harmonics of this enchanting composition serve as the perfect accompaniment, drawing you deeper into the heart of this visually and aurally stunning journey.

Prepare to be spellbound as you embark on this unexpected odyssey, exploring the bewitching interplay of color and sound, while basking in the therapeutic embrace of this extraordinary 3D fractal meditation.

Here’s that recent Machine Elf, now in glorious 8K/360! 🙂

Welcome to a very different Machine Elf creation (This time re-rendered in 360)! All my latest ones seem to be my favorite, but this one definitely gives a new perspective on the cinematic quality and storytelling of fractals. This creation was incredibly complex and took about a month for the visuals and another month for the music from Joshua Ryan. We’ve been collaborating on this one forever and now it is finally ready for release!

This creation explores how incredible complexity and the fabric of the universe could possibly be boiled down to a few combined fractal equations. I’ve always been fascinated by the fabric of the reality around us. Maybe it’s just math, or a higher order of mathematical formulas that collide with different sorts of energies. It’s really hard to say, eh? All these Machine Elf creations explore different facets from the same jewel of the reality that is being built around us all the time.

In my various journeys “to the other side” I’ve had a repeated message from the entities that not only everything is connected, but we are all in one in a beautiful and crazy dance together. This has always been one of my favorite Jon Hopkins tunes. It’s incredibly complicated with wild layers, so I built a series of hybrid fractals to explore the visual space around the song and take you on your own journey of visual meditation. Enjoy.

Here’s my latest meditative exploration using generative fractals in the Machine Elf universe.

I used this project to explore the fabric of reality, consciousness, and the “wiggliness” of being human into a visual realm that is ever-changing and fascinating. I recommend watching with good speakers or earphones at 4K.

This work features a beautiful piece of lecture and music from Alan Watts and Mili Ro. In a very bizarre collision of worlds, when I found this on Soundcloud, I noticed that Mili Ro (who I don’t know) used one of my photos as the song-cover art. Spooky!

Here is the link to the full music.

A new Machine Elf for you all, in 360 and 8K… A visual journey that will take you places you need to go.

I previewed it the other day and here is the final version! Machine Elf 100 – The Pineal… in 360/VR so you can grab the video and look all around or just sit, ideally with headphones on, in full screen and just let it take you on the journey!
