Sounds of the Mandelbrot Set

Making music and sound effects directly from common fractals was an idea I though of one night, so I just had to try it out to see what it would be like. The results were really interesting and actually helped me understand even more about fractals and chaos.

“What instrument do you play?”
Codeparade: “it’s complicated..”

[hockdudu]

* Creepy sound plays *

YouTube automatic subtitles: "[Applause]"

"So you're a musician too, what do you play?"
"Fractals"

As a sound designer and audio engineer, this was absolutely thrilling. Thank you for making the program publicly available <3

"I play the Piano!"
"I play the Drums!"
"I play the Violin!"
*I PLAY THE MANDELBROT SET*

"Some sound really creepy"
*modem sounds

Mandebrot: Xylophone
Burning Ship: Screams from the gates of hell

4:05 is just what nostalgia sounds like to us 90s kids.

"You've got mail!"

[OceanEady]

He went from "Mary Has a Little Lamb" to "Screams of the Damned" real quick

[bip]

Engineer: "Your mathematics degree has no practical applications"
Mathematician: 3:10

The burning ship fractal sounds like an old ass computer that gained sentience and had an existential crisis

Way back in the 80s my friends laughed in my dumb face for asking this exact question! I told them that I think all you have to do is assign correlating sounds to the colors, or something like that. Eyes rolled, snickering was heard and cringe was felt. I dumped them and found smarter friends. Thank you SO MUCH for this!!!
I'm not very highly edumacated in this department, so please forgive me if I didn't get my original problem solving quite right.
Some of this sounds like a fax machine, I love it!

[PedanticAntics]

Yo, shout out to all the 90's kids who got the feels when he hit those dialup tones.

[Devoid]

Unironically, "The Burning Ship" makes pretty accurate sounds

[ImpassiveCanine]

Damn, this math stuff ranges from "naturally beautiful" to "Eldritch horror."

[bluebrii]

biblically accurate angels saying "be not afraid"

[carykh]

Whoa, I didn't fully realize how diverse the sound effects were until 7:14. Maybe the way the sound tapers off makes me think of the sounds as collisions, so categorizing them into different "materials" is somehow easier? Like I could suddenly classify them as explosions, metallic knocks, and screeches

[thecoton]

Burning Ship fractal: *plays "sounds"*

Father Garcia: *"Don't be afraid John."*

[omegadragons]

sir please click the unstable areas i want to hear them
