HRV: Rhythm of the Heart
For many years I've been fascinated by HRV — heart rate variability. Affected by breath, which modulates the activity of the parasympathetic (rest and release, on exhalation) and sympathetic (mobilization and tension, on inhalation) nervous systems, the distances between our heartbeats are irregular. The sound of the heart that is healthy and natural is reminiscent of many other rhythms we find in nature: raindrops, rustling leaves, swirling water. The signature of HRV in this state is fractal: rhythm deviations repeat across different time scales. I find it interesting both from aesthetic and scientific perspectives. Within our heart is a reflection of nature, and at our most relaxed but also sensitive moments, we seem to be connected to a universal rhythm that is a beacon of life. I wrote an article on this topic on Polysingularity: From the Heart and also started developing several frameworks, tools, and art works that explore...

Fractal Sequencer @ CCC | 12/23
For the occasion of the 37th Chaos Computer Club hacker conference, I created an online fractal MIDI sequencer that produces irregular beat patterns and melodies. It works really well for creating organic textures for moving and resting and working and living. Can connect to any internal MIDI device (the examples below are made with GarageBand which is available on any Mac) or with an external synth / drum machine. This tool is best suitable for exploring and cultivating non-linear dynamical patterns in time and space. Many natural systems have fractal properties: a certain principle is replicated across different scales. In the context of time, this means that no matter how short or how long we're going to be exposed to something, we will observe a similar pattern of change. And the longer we observe, the bigger the variability will be. This MIDI sequencer is available on fractalbeat.live and it was created on the basis...
