Code for an artistic collaboration: how does math inspire music, and how does music influence the math that produces images?
Specifically, this is exploring how to seed the generation of a fractal created by the Chaos Game with live music.
On a Debian-based Linux distribution like Ubuntu, set up a virtual environment as usual:
python3 -m virtualenv venv
Activate environment and install requirements:
source venv/bin/activate
pip install numpy scipy matplotlib sounddevice
Significant speed-ups can be attained if a Fortran 90 compiler is available on the system; for instance:
sudo apt-get install gfortran
Run with python chaos_music.py to listen to ambient sound, analyze the frequencies, and seed the fractal generation with parameters determined from the sound somehow.
