Fractal Art turns any RockBlocks beat into generative line art: each drum piece draws its own continuous, colored layer, its shape built from the beat's own rhythm, looping in sync with the music. Watch it live, or export a short, share-ready video — vertical (9:16) for TikTok and Instagram Reels, or square (1:1) — with a dark or light background, a choice of five visual styles (Classic, Bloom, Vignette, Vivid, Prism), and the beat's own sheet music with a live playhead overlaid. It is a free way to turn a drum pattern into something visual and postable, with no video editor and no account required.
What Fractal Art actually draws
Every drum piece in your beat — bass drum, snare, hi-hat, and the rest — gets its own continuous line, colored to match, whose shape comes from that piece's own rhythm. Layered together and looped with the music, a simple beat reads as a clean, spare sketch and a busy one blooms into something dense and intricate — the picture is a direct reflection of the pattern you actually built in RockBlocks, not a generic waveform or a stock animation.
How to make the video
1.Build or generate a beat. Any RockBlocks pattern works — hand-built, from the Inspiration generator, from TextyBeat, or a famous-song pattern. Fractal Art draws from whatever is currently on screen.
2.Open Fractal Art. From the tools menu, open Fractal Art to see the live visualization: one drawing layer per drum piece, colored to match, looping with the beat.
3.Pick a background and a style. Choose a dark (glow) or light (ink) background, then a visual style — Classic, a soft Bloom halo, a poster-like Vignette, a saturated glowing Vivid, or a rainbow-fringed Prism.
4.Open Share Video. Pick a vertical 9:16 (TikTok, Instagram Reels) or square 1:1 aspect ratio, a clip length from 7 to 15 seconds, and whether the RockBlocks logo shows in the corner.
5.Record. RockBlocks records a real-time-lapse clip: the artwork clears and rebuilds itself across the whole clip, opening on a brief flash of the finished piece, with your beat's audio and its sheet music (playhead included) baked in.
6.Download and post. Download the finished MP4 and upload it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or anywhere else — it's a standard video file, yours to use.
Built for TikTok and Instagram Reels
The export is a real MP4 file — H.264 video, AAC audio — sized 9:16 vertical for TikTok and Instagram Reels, or 1:1 square, so it drops straight into an upload without cropping or re-encoding on your end. Your beat's own sheet music rides along the bottom with a live playhead, and a small RockBlocks logo sits in the corner by default — turn it off in the Share Video panel if you'd rather post it clean.
Five looks, one beat
Pick a dark (glow) or light (ink) background, then a style: Classic for the plain line art, Bloom for a soft halo behind it, Vignette for a darkened, poster-like edge, Vivid for bigger, glowing, saturated color, or Prism for a rainbow-fringed, chromatic-shift look. Same beat, five different videos — worth trying a couple before you record.
Everything here is free
Fractal Art, every style, and the video export all work with no account and no payment. Export as many clips as you want, in either aspect ratio, at any clip length from 7 to 15 seconds.
Frequently asked questions
What is Fractal Art?
Fractal Art is a RockBlocks feature that turns a drum beat into generative line art. Each drum piece — kick, snare, hi-hat, and the rest — draws its own continuous, colored layer, its shape derived from the beat's own rhythm, looping in time with the music.
Can I export the Fractal Art visualization as a video?
Yes. Open Fractal Art, then Share Video, and record a 7–15 second clip. It's rendered as a real MP4 with the beat's audio, the artwork's time-lapse reveal, and the beat's sheet music with a live playhead — ready to download and post.
What video sizes does RockBlocks export for social media?
Vertical 9:16, sized for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and square 1:1. Both bake in the beat's audio, a choice of background and visual style, and the beat's own sheet music.
Can I remove the RockBlocks logo from my exported video?
Yes. The Share Video panel has a "Show RockBlocks logo" option, on by default, that you can turn off before recording.
Will the exported video work on TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. It exports a standard MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) built to upload cleanly to TikTok and Instagram Reels.
Is the Fractal Art video export free?
Yes. Fractal Art, every visual style, and the video export are free, with no account and no watermark beyond the optional RockBlocks logo you can turn off.
