Mandelbrot
Clicking picks c — it plays that point and rebuilds the Julia set beside it.
Julia
The Julia set for that c. Clicking picks where the orbit starts.
Controls
Each one bends the orbit differently, so each one has its own voice. Switching resets the view and picks a c worth hearing.
How fast the orbit is walked. This sets the pitch: a p-step cycle sounds at rate ÷ p.
Iterations used to draw. Higher is sharper, slower.
Julia constant
Playing it
- Click or drag
- Plays the orbit under the pointer. Dragging bends the note.
- Letter keys
- Z–M and Q–P play the current point at different pitches, two rows like a keyboard.
- Arrow keys
- Nudge the current point. Hold Shift for finer steps.
- Scroll, or Shift-drag
- Zoom, and pan.
- Fractal menu
- Seven families, each with its own Julia panel and its own sound.
- Space
- Jump to a random point worth hearing.
