    Persistent Aura Fractal Art

    in Visual Promotion

    Posted

    Here's a totally different way of using fractals to create images that I haven't presented to you yet.

    Fractal Terrain! The program I've been using is Terragen, but there are a few other ones as well.

    I haven't been doing this much yet as my pc is way to slow for even rendering the preview so making full landscapes is allmost impossible because I just can't see what I'm doing. If I keep to relatively simple terrains and clouds then renders are possible.

    Basically everything you see is made by using fractals, the terrain, clouds, stones,... . It's stunning how realistic these landscapes can look.

     

    This is the first one I made. after fiddling with the software for quite some time.

    After that I decided to follow a tutorial so I would learn quicker. That's the reason why it's much more detailed

    I didn't use the software for more than a half year. Just because it's so hard to make images with it on my pc. But a week ago I felt like trying again. Again some desert to keep it simple.

    Imba is right about the trance plant melodies :P that scale (neapolitan minor) is very typical of southeastern european music. Although it often sounds eastern or egyptian to a lot of people. I allmost allways use the neapolitan minor and arabic scales in my music, often combining them. But that track has mostly the neapolitan minor scale used for the melodies. Funny thing is the neapolitan minor sounds more 'arabic' than the arabic scale (to people who are used to western music) :P

     

    When I started making this music I never even heard of the term nitzhogoa (if it allready existed back then). I just like nitzhonot influences because it gives the music a certain kind op playfullness and makes it less serious than a lot of other goatrance. This makes it especially good for parties imo as the euphoric melodies have a lot more energy and just make you feel happy :) And indeed most of my nitzhogoa and euphoric tracks aren't meant to be very serious but are just meant to be fun. I also have a few more serious works :)

    I do like the serious and more psychedelic goatrance a lot as well but it's much better for listening with headphones and dreaming away.

     

    Some people may think nitzhonot and uplifting is childish. I don't care. When I was a kid (8-11 years old) I just loved dance, trance, hardcore,... all electronic genres which had euphoric, emotional and/or in your face melodies. So I love using those elements as it gives me a great nostalgic feeling too :)

     

    And indeed Elias (agneton) was a great influence on me to start making this style of music ;)
