The camera roll angle acts as the argument of the complex number and the distance from the camera to the screen acts as its modulus. Isn’t it wonderful? Have fun exploring this space of fractals that live in the complex plane.
Insert new nodes and connect them. Change the corresponding sound by clicking on the node and select a new note from the scale. Define the note’s duration and apply the different embellishments. You can hear the results in real time.
