To the Magix community,

The is an experimental music video that puts music and digital imagery art into a very technical and scientific concept yet deeply expresses events that occur in nature that effects our daily lives. In the year 1962 a theoretical scientist by the name of Edward Lorenz demonstrated a concept in chaos theory as related to weather prediction that very small influences such as the flapping wings of a butterfly could in time result in a tornado or other notable weather events in a distant place.

On a small desk (sized) computer with the assistance of a Miss Ellen Fetter who handled many numerical computations and had prepared the graphical presentations the 'butterfly concept' was demonstrated. The data presentation (as presented in the video) curiously graphically resembles a butterfly.

The 'butterfly effect' in nature can also demonstrate that perhaps a small act (such as a small act of kindness to someone) can have a large effect on the lives of many over a long time.

I give my thanks to the many digital artist that have made their works available to me for this video.

The music was created and performed using Magix Music Maker and Magix Movie Studio Platinum 2025 along with my own studios resources.

Hopefully you will enjoy this latest music-video work that I am presenting here.

My Best ...

Mark ;)

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.

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.
