Kleinian Canals_fractal vistas | "I Want the World (You)"_ blues rock with Synthesizer V Vocals from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Blues rock piano with the crooning vocals of Synthesizer V's Hayden, and then backing vocals by Solaria (Soprano), Natalie (Alto), Kevin (Tenor), and then Ritchie (Bass). Blues rock piano using a classical A Harmonic Minor chord sequence that I invented for several classical piano pieces in the past (Am Dm G C F Bb E Am) and have thrown all of my favorite blues piano tricks and riffs onto that classical structure.

“I Want the World (You)” by Stephen Sink

As a young boy I swore I’d never sell out Now I’m older and I’m Selling every way

As a young man I swore I’d never lose out Now I’m older and I’m Losing every day

Chorus I want the world to see I have you girl with me I need no guarantee What I want is what I need And that’s the two of you and me Making it anyway we can We won’t find out now Until the end of time How this all ends

Chorus As a young boy I swore I’d never get out Now I’m older and I’m Getting it every day

As a young man I swore I’d never make it out Now I’m older and I’m Making it every way

Chorus Making it anyway we can We won’t find out now Until the end of time How this all ends Chorus

Trust Me Now -- Infinite AI Zoom Video -- "Trust Me Now" by Stephen Sink featuring AI Musicians from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Video: 4K video in an Infinite Zoom, created with Stable Diffusion. Alternating between two futuristic and psychedelic landscapes in time to the music (at 100 beats per minute).

Music: Funk Soul Pop Rock, featuring all AI Algorithms and multi-instrumentalist me not playing a single instrument, although heavily involved in the writing, chopping, combining, tweaking, mixing, and mutating what the AI gang produced for me on the whole range of rock band instruments: drums, electric and acoustic piano, bass, 9-10 tracks of guitars both acoustic and electric and a full set of two wah-wah guitarists (one playing melody single notes and the other playing chords). Then I added 4-part backing vocals in harmony to the song chords (featuring the voices of Solaria (8va), Natalie (5th up), Kevin (thirds up) and Ritchy (bass and chord root notes). Then I had Hayden in lead singing the main melodies. All of the vocals were written and programmed by me, but sung by algorithms, who sing what they’re told to and how, just like any other human singers. Garbage in = garbage out, for the vocals, and they sound as good as the singer/algorithm can sing, depending on what I make them sing.

“Trust Me Now” by Stephen Sink (1st verse sung with piano only once, and then full band) Perfect times rarely get noticed Times go so fast, times blow right past Times might not last long

Prechorus Friends are all we have to share this world’s Pain and joy and love for people Family, friends, and pets, neighbors, Making the world better for all of us

Chorus You should trust me now (whoa oh) Two could just be how (oh no) Why would there be doubt (woe oh) We could rock it out (let’s go)

Perfect lives barely get noticed Life goes so fast, life blows right past Life might not last long

Perfect things fairly get noticed Things go so fast, things blow right past Things might not last long

Prechorus Chorus Guitar Solo

Prechorus Chorus

Perfect lives barely get noticed Life goes so fast, life blows right past Life might not last long

Perfect lives, you should trust me now

Sphere Clusters | "Groovamongus" by Stephen Sink | Fractals & AI Rock Guitar from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Sphere Clusters | "Groovamongus" by Stephen Sink | Fractals & Rock Guitar

Music: “Groovamongus” by Stephen Sink A rock instrumental that will soon have vocals to it. The guitar lead was generated by an algorithm music plugin which shall be unnamed and sounds absolutely awesome, in my humble opinion. Several layers of piano, electric piano, organ, wah guitar, two layers of fingerstyle strumming acoustic guitar, bass, and drums. THE ALGORITHM CAN ROCK!!! (For the lead "guitar," I input chords, tempo, and style, then generate tracks and comp through them, and then produce the track with additional effects, EQ, shaping, etc. But not a note played in terms of lead melody, just strong production and lots of editing and part selection).

Video: Sphere Clusters, made with Mandelbulber. Featuring the brand-new formula, the Sphere Cluster V2, from Mandelbulber fractal generating software. I explore this new formula against a backdrop of a moving starfield that I made in After Effects. I have a sphere and two square toroid shapes at the corners that are dancing to the amplitude of the music and reflecting the fractals behind and around them.

Sphere Box | "Funkenstein," analog keyboard jam from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Sphere Box made with Mandelbulber and some fractals by Graeme to start and then put through audio-reactive morphings in the size of the background. I ran one whole layer, and then used that layer as the background of a new layer but with the size of the background set to the amplitude of the music.

Music “Funkenstein,” made from two different piano lines over a NS/Stick bassline and some guitars, and then with several layers of analog keyboard soloing over the entire thing.

A-Box Donut 4D | "String Theory (Piano)" from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Using this week's Mandelbulber Challenge formula called "A-Box Donut 4D," and then my piano tune "String Theory." Two layers with audio syncing of the color and of the mirror ball radius.

Riemann Sphere fractals |"Chill Ax" | Blues piano jam by Stephen Sink from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Riemann Sphere |"Chill Ax" | Blues piano jam by Stephen Sink

“Chill Ax” is a blues piano and NS/Stick bass song, without any guitars at the moment and thus chilling on the ax by not playing it at all. This song’s vision is as a backing track for a lead guitar and perhaps vocals or both, but it’s functioning as just a piano jam, of which I think really rocks hard. I might have gone a bit overboard on the grace notes but I love this style of piano playing and rarely hear it. Feel free to help educate me on anyone doing this style of blues.

I took one of my favorite classical piano songs, “A Minor Explosion,” of my “Paigan Productions Presents Piano Pieces” album and took the A(Harmonic) Minor chords of Am, Dm, G, C, F, Bb, E Am and then played the most bluesy piano I could within those chords. I always thought it a very classical chord progression but I think it works great as a gospel blues piano song.

The video is made with fractals by Mandelbulber. This week at Facebook Mandelbulbers, we’re using the Riemann Sphere family of formulas to create our scenes or animations, and I’ve combined it here with the Mandalay Box V2, that makes city-like buildings on fractals. I’ve synced the music amplitude to the background texture sizes, the glow, the size and distance of the repeats on the fractals, and on the color offset of the main materials. I’ve also added an extra luminosity layer that turns off and on every couple of bars, as the animation alternates between two different layers every bar.

Fractal Holidays | "Funkensense" by Stephen Sink from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year! Featuring fractal scenes from Mandelbulber with a Dodecahedron and a Benesi Pine Tree instead of a Christmas Tree, and then four scenes from Polyhaven HDRI of Christmas photo studios and a winter scene.

Featuring the music “Funkensense,” that I am writing vocals and lyrics for Solaria to solo sing to. I sat down with piano and NS/Stick and quickly wrote the chords and then backing drums and then finally guitar layers, all in one day. The vocals are still taking a bit and I wanted to release this song for Christmas and now New Year’s Day. Cheers!

Sierpinski 4D | "Love Me (Like You Do)" fractals and Synthesizer V vocals from Stephen Sink on Vimeo.

Sierpinski 4D fractals made with Mandelbulber (Sierpinski 4D + T>DIFS Gears V1).

I took my recently-remastered rock instrumental "Frying MonKeys," and turned it in into a full vocal song. Featuring the emulated programmed voices of Synthesizer V's Hayden, Ritchie, and Solaria. I wrote all the harmonies and lyrics and then programmed the three singers to sing a total of 5 parts of main and backing vocals.

The song is now "Love Me (Like You Do)" (purely coincidental title with Guilding's "Love Me Like You Do" which I first heard when Googling this song title after I wrote it! Nice tune but nothing whatsoever to do with this song. Cheers!)

Love Me (Like You Do) by Stephen Sink

We all want our freedom Even if that’s love You still need respect

When a man comes back to the home which he left When the fam attacks to the bone witch is dead

When the lands come back And the fish swim again When the bands attack And we wish win again

(Whoa Ohs)

I don’t know if you want me to stay Oh I won’t go if you want me to play Oh I don’t think you should do anything But love me now and forever

oh oh And I want you To love me Love me like you do Love me like you do Love me like you do Love Me Like You Do

oh oh And I want you To love me Love Love Love

Man comes back to his home which he left And mends the tear in the hole that he reft If time heals all, crime steals fall, winter comes Who says love can’t last through the winter? Who says love can’t last through the winter? But our love will last through forever

Whoa Oh Oh Breakdown

When a man comes back to his home which he left And mends the tear in the hole that he reft If time heals all, crime steals fall, winter comes Who says love can’t last through the winter? Who says we can’t fight through the weather? But our love will last through forever Oh our love will keep us together Our love will keep making us better

But I will love you Love me like you do Love me Like you Do Love
