As if, from a dream...

Here is another quick glimpse at ideas from my huge "Fractal Serenity" music video project, still in progress. This particular music-video is a "character study" of one of the strange plants that grows in this dream... the "Glass Orchid".

The tasty cherry color was used on the petals, after chatting with the marvelous musician Hoon, who mentioned his love of that particular candy-like color. The "Fractal Serenity" music, was initially completely computer-generated, then I massaged and re-wrote areas by hand to soften some of the rough edges, and this harsh-and-soft dreamy music will be lengthened and reworked into the soundscape for the full-length music video of the same name.

The computer graphics were hand-coded in the C-like computer text language of the freeware POV-Ray ray-tracer software... I still don't use modelers, but instead type this all up by hand.

And as always, there's a bit of (Russian) wordplay in the title. I hope you enjoy the surreal dreamy ride!

To quote Wyatt, "The words are coming from the water" He's observant that way.

We enjoyed listening and looking! Thanks.
