skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 2/6/2008 22:13

I don't really get it...but it's amazing and I love it :D

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 2/6/2008 02:46

This is great as organic abstract art.
Ermmm... I meant that the chaos is a bit organic..
Ok, I'll shut up. I just like it.

This is alot better than the crappy mario and sonic sprites that we call art.

Salvage (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 2/2/2008 01:24

Does it reference a manuscript (i.e. Shahaji's) or is it interpretive?

politopo (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/2/2008 00:42

wow, it was a long time i was thinking to do somethig similar.

Half the comments on this piece are by the artist. Chill out. I personally don't dig it, but that's just my personal opinion.

Sabata (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 2/1/2008 16:59

Hmm... Ok, now I know where I can learn alien language

It’s interesting, but I have no idea of what’s that…. Even when you explained…

darokin (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 2/1/2008 16:45

I can clearly see throught this (well.. I guess (not))... It's a 'Prelude' right ? Well it sounds/looks like...
Anyway this makes people talk, in this you got 1 win !

PixelKiwi (Level 5 Soldier) @ 2/1/2008 16:29

This is very impressive.

That's fine tomic, it's primary function is utterly utilitarian, aesthetic considerations are a distant second...if some consider it pixel art, that's fine, if not, that's fine too...

I'm thinking that castiboy may have raised a good point and perhaps it should be deleted form Pixel Joint, especially after finding this "citation"...

"Melodic_Harmonic_Tendencies by khobby is not pixel art."

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) @ 2/1/2008 14:59

pretty much what squirrel said, but w/o the 'interesting' for me.. didn't like the note pieces you've (double-)submitted some months ago and it's the same with this experiment

also, cheering yourself with citations doesn't score any points

khobby (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 2/1/2008 14:39

"Art is science made clear."
Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963)

"After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in aesthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well."
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

castiboy (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 2/1/2008 14:31

definitely xD is robot porn allowed at pixel joint? :P

but really, this is related to all kind of subjects in a quite fascinating way, yet i'm not sure it can really be called "pixel art", even if made pixel by pixel...

purpletree (Level 6 Manager) @ 2/1/2008 13:30

wow!

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Rubbish) @ 2/1/2008 13:18

*squirrelbrain does not understand*

it's certainly interesting, but I realy can't make out anything ._.

5L1V3R (Level 1 Private) @ 2/1/2008 13:10

sure...

PixelSpy (Level 5 Captain) @ 2/1/2008 13:09

Nice. Looks alot better without those big colored boxes. Now it reminds me of Robot Porn :)

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) @ 2/1/2008 12:41

kick-ass stuff o.O

randomblink (Level 6 SWAT) @ 2/1/2008 12:28

It looks like alien script... very neat... never seen anything like it... I like it!

khobby (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 2/1/2008 12:13

OOPS...

...yeah 9 colors. (I took the white out)

Well Miss KiraCatgirl, I'm glad that you are taken by it.

This particular system is of my own construction based upon physics, psychoacoustics, observation and logic .
It does utilize just ratios (as well as temperaments) and probably the best place to begin learning about just tuning systems would be the following:

They have a good primer which started me off years ago.

Inventrix (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 2/1/2008 11:27

Wow, I am exceedingly intrigued by this map and wish to learn more. Do you have any good links with information about this particular musical system?

Also, isn't this nine colors including black and white?

khobby (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/31/2008 12:05

Well, Ossama the large "colored boxes" to the left beginning from lowest to highest constitute representational visual aids which draw from 7 of the 22 musical srutis in the classical Carnatic Music of India, the solfege of which being represented as such:

ni
dhe
pa
mi
ge+
re
sa

One of the relational frequencies (namely ge+) incorporates the prime 7, (hence the +) though all of the others are limited to 5...

...It would take too long for me to go into much more detail.

greenraven (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 1/31/2008 09:30

Um,...... o.....k..... O.O

It's big and interesting, I'll give you that much. XD

spartan_117 (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 1/31/2008 09:10

yes but what does the colored boxes have to do with anything...
I would also like to make some research on this. What is a name for all of this.

PixelSpy (Level 5 Captain) @ 1/31/2008 08:22

It's interesting but is it pixel art?

khobby (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/30/2008 22:57

AdamPlays (Level 6 SWAT) @ 1/30/2008 22:21

I have to say I'm interested in what this all means. But I'd like a good explanation before accepting it for the gallery.
