One of my ambitions for decades has been to assemble a little pipe organ. For the last 8 years or so, I've been doing just that. Allow me to introduce you to my pipe organ. These pictures are a bit dated. (from an old Adelphia web site that got eaten by the web-langoliers -am) I took them before I finished installing the switching system. I added the Syndyne system primarily to add midi capabilities to the organ. Now I can have my PC play the organ. I downloaded Fractmus , a program that generates midi notes based on fractal algorithms. And so here' s my offering. I honestly don't remember what fractal equations I used to make this. As I was tinkering, it occurred to me that the result could be improved if I were to significantly deprive the organ of air. I did this by forcing the reservoirs "closed" with a few scraps of wood. Not being satisfied with that, I closed the reservoirs by hand to get a less musical sound. I think I have achieved that goal.
