The author's voice makes me want to create some happy little fractal trees over here ... then some happy little fractal clouds over there ...

This is awesome. I want to play with this very badly.

He is like the Bob Ross of fractals! Used to enjoy simply listening to the soothing voice of this PBS paint show host... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MghiBW3r65M

I paid $30 for Bob's mountain DVDs, ripped the audio, and use it to help me fall asleep at night. Worth every penny.

A soothing voice is just a great compliment for eye candy! Re: Bob Ross, I just have to share this: https://imgur.com/eIT3AnT

This is the first time I've heard about ASMR, thank you for the link, not sure if it's placebo, but watching this video was... interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erTe2wkxc-g

Strangely, the voice in the video makes me uncomfortable.

The lip smacking and semi-whispering is very annoying to me.

Yes, I was more impressed by his narrative capabilities than the 3d fractal rendering. Sometimes he was a little too whispery but most of the time he managed to convey information at a near perfect pace and pitch.
