exellent video and audio performance .. well done

Franco

The Butterfly Effect unfolds as an ambient journey, even as it occasionally breaks into quick, shimmering arpeggios. The piece drifts through its own musical weather systems — sometimes gentle, sometimes tempestuous — mirroring the accompanying visuals.

All through the piece, the butterflies are there. Their wings beat in the tremble of the keys, in the quick flitting phrases that rise and vanish, in the delicate turbulence that stirs the air around the listener. The keyboards carry the main current, while strings, bass, and light percussion appear like passing shapes in the mist, giving form to a composition that prefers to roam rather than march. It’s a thoughtful use of Magix, and it sounds as though elements from the synth collection may have been woven in to broaden the palette.

The visuals are well chosen, enhancing the music’s sense of drifting through chaotic beauty. The appearance of the Lorenz butterfly is a particularly fitting nod — a mathematical symbol made musical. When the piece is ready to settle, it closes with a mischievous sonic twist that leaves a smile.

A pleasing and imaginative blend of audio and imagery, capturing the spirit of its title with charm and atmosphere.

"L'effet papillon" : un tout petit effet pour de si grandes conséquences!!! mais ici, Marc, c'est bien la grandeur de ton talent qui fait de ta musique de rêve un si précieux moment de grâce!!! Thank's my friend!!!

Great atmospheric production like the melodic sounds really hook the ear in right from the start,theme like feel to a great epic scifi film.

Hi Mark

Really beautiful and relaxing music.

It fits the topic well. Great job.💯👍👌

Our weather is a sensitive yet sophisticated natural system; it's delicate because even slight temperature deviations can have devastating consequences. Melting polar ice caps, hurricanes, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms in summer.

Last year, it was hotter than ever before in Southern Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean. The water temperature was also far too high.

The Butterfly Effect theory fits very well.

Something is happening somewhere on Earth, and you can still feel it 7,000 km away; it's all connected.

Thank you David,

I really like your comment, yes the natural system of the world has a very delicate balance. 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction' BUT not necessarily equal. When the laws of chaotic action are taken into account very subtle forces can have 'tempestuous' results.

Whenever we have big plans for getting rich .. it is a good idea to take Lorenz 'action' seriously ;) As the early Greek folks had it figured out Zeus and Poseidon are very temperamental. Better not make them angry or there goes our crops, fishing, health ...

Ain't politics, just good sense.

My best to you!

Mark ;)

Thanks again Philip!

You covered the meaning and musical expression of this theme very well. So I will mention a bit about the making of this music-video. The Magix tools for making music and video were very helpful and of course I got my own synths involved accompanying the loops adding some of their own beats and sounds to the melody.

For the graphical animation of the Lorenz 'butterfly function' I ran a version of the programming source for the Lorenz action using the Julia computer language. The initial conditions and numerical calculation methods were as close as possible to what Edward Lorenz and Ellen Fetter had used on their LGP30 desk sized mini computer at MIT back in '62. (like bringing back an old song ;). I have a version of 'Easy GIF Animation' on hand so I could easily adjust the video frame delay times to fit well with the music during the Lorenz function animation. Of course the music composition was chosen to represent the 'butterfly effect' theme as well as I could.

I guess that I always like to say that the language of music and digital graphics art can express anything, even the most technical themes.

Best wishes ...

Mark ;)
