AEAEA-11.hqx is an algorithmic stand-alone music application, it plays lush music and cycles mystic pictures of Circe's island, Aeaea (Malta), where Odysseus' sailors were enchanted. Can be used as an artistic-mystic background while you chill out.
YOU NEED: Apple's Quicktime (2.5) and Sound Manager, System 7.+
DETAILS: AEAEA-11 was realized on a Mac 8500 PPC (system 7.5.5, QT 2.5) using Opcode System's MAX 3.0. program. Virus checked.Compressed with Stuffit Lite.
AVAILABILITY: AEAEA-11 is free to individuals for their private enjoyment. Distribution by CD Rom and other means: OK, please notify by e-mail.
**************** ***************** ***********
QuickStart: Double-click on the Aeaea.11.app in the Program Folder.
Hit the SPACE BAR to start and stop. The music plays on the Mac's internal speakers. If possible, hook your computer's audio output into your HiFi system.
Do not remove the AEAEA-11.app from its folder; it is an APPLICATION, so close by opening the Apple control bar File menu and selecting "QUIT".
Notes: According to Homer's epic, The Odyessy, when Odysseus (Ulyssus) and his men reached the mysterious island of Aeaea, they were enchanted by the sorceress Circe. Malta, a small 15-by-17 mile island off the coast of Sicily in the Med. seems to be the likely place for this encounter. Homer's description of the landing in a fair bay (St. Paul's bay) and the promentory from which a temple in the middle of the island was seen all seem to reinforce this idea. Also important is the discovery of Minoan- era temple ruins with bull figures and oracle whispering holes. Malta has a long history of occupation by many cultures: Romans, Arabs, The Knights of St. John, Napoleon, the English etc. Although totally Catholic in religion, they speak an Arabic-based language which is written using the Roman alphabet. Malta became an independent nation shortly after WW II and the entire island was given the George Cross for its valiant role during that struggle (hence the initials after the name: Malta, G.C.) I spent 6 weeks in Malta during the summer of 1972 (mainly in the small fishing village of Marsasloxx) and took many slides and pictures of the curious landscapes, churches and bells. All the time I was there - and ever as I remember or dream of it - Malta was a rich, exciting enchanted island full of wonderful loving people to whom a smile, a joke and a drink with one's companions were the best things in life. However, their way of life and sense of time was very different. Most people seemed to get up very early and go to bed shortly after sunset. Malta, a very densely populated island, seemed totally deserted by late afternoon just when the sun was so right for taking pictures, and so many of my color slides were landscapes without people in them.

ancient-faces.12.hqx
Multimedia show, plays mystic music while morphing life-like
portraits from the 3rd cent. A.D. Fayoum collection of Roman art.
YOU NEED: OS 7 +, - 9 Quicktime, Sound Manager
Realized on a Mac 8500 PPC (system 7.5.2). Virus checked. Compressed

The Fayoum Poraits are Roman in origin and were painted with oil on wood
in Egypt ca. 200-250 A.D. They were face-boards bound over the heads of
mummified corpses and intended to not only preserves the effigies of the
dead, but also to help them "see" from the afterlife. They are amazingly
life-like and modern, painted with a sense of reality, dimention and
perspective that vanished from Europe during the Dark Ages, not to
re-appear until the Renaissance. The individual personalities in the
paintings seem to project themselves across the ages with a vivid presence.
The portraits themselves are scattered among a dozen or so museums. View
and learn about the portraits on the web at
Treasures URL. The portraits are used here with the kind permission from
Dr. Jean Berger of the J.P.Berger Foundation.
QUICKSTART: locate the ancient-faces.12 app. in the program folder and
double-click to load it. To start and stop, press the space bar. You
may have to hit the space bar several times to stop if you catch it
between notes, so to speak. Sometimes spooky aftertones occur!! Do not
remove the application from its original folder as it operates with
hidden folders. The music plays on the Mac's internal speakers, Close
by selecting "QUIT"from the Apple bar file. Type "s" to scroll the 19
portraits. Type"x" to turn the sound on and off.
What you see: the images have been made into a move within a MAX patch
and they are cycled back and forth at different rates until one is
selected by a random process. This creates a kind of morphing effect of
faces changing and growing as the frames flip by. Eventually all 19
portraits will be shown.
What you hear: The music is derived from the numbers used to cycle the
pictures, only they are interrupted and randomly skewed in a different
fashion. The process is akin to an algorithm because there are "basins
of attraction" created by interconnections that produce recognizable
musical and rhythmic patterns. I used 3 sound samples, a flute, a kind
of brass bass and a tamborine stroke.
Howzitdone?: Max (Opcode- but, no longer supported by this co.) is an
object-oriented program builder, you patch functional modules together
in a kind of circuit, like the old Moog Synthesizer. The circuit
patchers are hidden behind the black .pict background.

Perhaps your web site is jam-packed with a heap o' powerful HTML, but you
realize it's next to naked without some equally strong art. Or maybe your
latest bit of Mac app programming is certainly an offering worthy of mega
shareware bucks, but it lacks that graphic je ne sais quois. If this is your
dilemna, then you need MacburgerHelper in your creative kitchen.
Put simply, MacburgerHelper is a set of buttons and patterns presented in a
convenient Mac icon format. Peruse the little artsies, pick, choose, and stick
your choices into your next project. You'll feel better. You'll look better.
Mac users will thank you (and maybe pay you).

Subject: musical portraits of Pentium Snails/Powe
ThinkSnail.02 is an aleatoric-algorithmic music application, it plays
mystic, abstract music while morphing selected Pentium Snail portraits
with Power Macs from the amazing G3 collection, followed by images of
a rare PieFaced Gates. A new multimedia art form.
What you see: the ancient Pentium Snail images have been combined with
modern PowerMac G3 images and a rare PieFaced Gates. This was made
into a QuickTime movie within the MAX patch and then cycled back and
forth at about 36 Hz. until one is selected by a random process. This
creates a kind of morphing effect of images changing and growing as
the frames flip by. Eventually all 20 portraits will be shown,
although the process will stop at the same images from time to time.
What you hear: The music is derived from the numbers that are used to
cycle the pictures, only they are interrupted and randomly skewed in a
different fashion. The process is akin to an algorithm and I like to
think of this music as algorithmic music because there are "basins of
attraction" created by many of the interconnections that produce
recognizable musical and rhythmic patterns. I used 3 sound samples, a
wild eep, a kind of deep blue indigo and a litigious sosumi.

Notes:
The Pentium II Chip shown on the back of the snail is Intel in origin
and was created in Silicon Valley ca. 1996-1997 A.D. It is amazingly
life-like and modern, considering that it was created during the Dark
Ages of computing, when Wintel Boxes claimed most marketshare. The
PowerMac G3, however, has a sense of reality, dimension and
perspective that indicates a new Mac Renaissance. The rare PieFaced
Gates is the work of a fellow prankster, and came out the same week as
the Snail Ads, forever tying these images together in the minds of Mac
Users worldwide. The final Mac Logo with the ìThink Differentî phrase
