Machine Elf 27 – Avoiding the Void

Here is the latest fractal creation, and it’s probably my favorite so far! I decided to explore the math of V3 of the Menger, which has all these beautiful spherical structures that are created by the minutest of filaments. It calmly explores the evolution of a void and allows you to relax in the unraveling, fundamental nature of its creation. As with the last one, Sam Mehrtens (Sam Wave) did custom music. He explains “with all these worlds there seems to be a pulsing balance of life and release. When I was making the soundtrack I was instantly drawn into the void and felt a passive tribal tone urging to come out… as the void unravels so does the sound, and the beat becomes a distant memory. Accompanied by sprays of tonal delay and psychedelic guitar, ‘Avoiding the Void’ is our most explorative creation yet.”

These are also available in 360 for a cool VR app called TRIPP. If you have an Oculus Quest, Go or Rift, you can download TRIPP which features guiding experiences to make you happier, calmer and more focused. Grab that here: https://the-machine-elf.com/TRIPP

Daily Photo – More Donkey Bay in the Bay of Islands

This is the kind of amazing place that’s perfect for indoor photography. In general, the more rich textures and strategic lighting, the better. A perfectly lit room with boring textures just doesn’t always translate into HDR as well for some reason.

Hanging out in Donkey Bay



How cool is this hotel?!? This place is up in the Bay of Islands on the North Island of New Zealand, very close to Russell. Our friend David Maxwell from Eighth Wonder Travel hooked us up here for a few nights. It’s an incredibly beautiful and quirky place with amazing views of the Bay of Islands. Also, I believe there are only 4 rooms in the entire hotel… each one is beautiful and unique! Here are a couple more photos below for you.
