FRACTAL MUSIC 2:2

Mandelbrot Music Program
Mandelbrot Music Program  ~  Win9x/Me/NT  ~  542 Kb
author: Yo Kubota

Explore the Mandelbrot set while the iteration values are transformed into music by a composition rule. MIDI files and their corresponding ini files (where parameter values are stored) are automatically saved every time you compose a new melody. 16-bit and 32-bit versions available.

Musinum
MusiNum  ~  v2.08b  ~  Win3.x/9x/Me/NT  ~  631 Kb

MusiNum turns integer numbers into musical notes (including chaos, fractals and self-similarity concepts). Each voice channel is presented in a different window, making it easier for beginners to work with all available options and instruments. This new version adds better script capabilities, more midi devices, and file association. Great program.

Oblivion
Project Oblivion  ~  v1.27a  ~  Win9x/Me  ~  818 Kb

Oblivion uses various random number algorithms and attempts to pull from a collection of random numbers musical sounds to make its compositions. The resulting files can be saved as MIDI and .obv format. You can also modify several options available directly from the main screen.

QuasiFractal Composer
Quasi Fractal Composer  ~  v2.01  ~  Win9x/Me  ~  1.84 Mb

This is another interesting algorithmic music generator full of surprises. It is similar to MusiNum, but with one single interface. It has several saving options (for midi, scale, orchestration and composition).

Venharis ~  v1.0 ~  Win98/Me/WinXP ~  6.50 Mb

Combining a gaming interface with a powerful fractal music generator, expect the unexpected with this software, since its interface is very unique. It's not plain software; it's an interactive experience that would let you create some fractal compositions while you experiment with it. Requires a 3D video card and DirectX 7.0 or later.

Well-Tempered Fractals
Well-Tempered Fractals  ~  v3.0  ~  DOS  ~  264 Kb
author: Robert Greenhouse
Home page: http://www.hiddendimension.com/futils.html
This program composes musical melodies by mapping fractal images to musical scales. Ten different fractal types, including Julia, Hopalon, KAM Torus, Chevychev, Ikeda and Mira, may be mapped to twenty-one different musical scales. Twenty symmetry operators may be applied to the image as it is plotted. The output may be directly heard or written to a MIDI file. Runs quite well in Win9x (DOS full screen). Alternate site.
