--> I finally got a chance to sit down and work on some music, and to try to finish a couple machine music ideas (i aint using the "g" word any more).

so here's a little file that shows a couple fragmented auto-music ideas i had, put into one patch, and then blasted through my synth YAY

what you're hearing is what im calling a "modular phrase sequencer". what it means is that a stream of notes is being sequenced by interval, grouped into phrases. the phrase is triggered by chance. there's a phrase that goes up by a couple "steps" four times in a row, another that does a turn, another that decreases in a scalar fashion. the sequencer "remembers" where the last phrase left off through the use of a sample and hold, and that's how the melody remains continuous.

that is being sent through the markov tonality sequencer, which is determining the key changes. you hear two lines in the example-the slow one is the raw markov tonality changes, and the top one is phrase sequencer threading over it.

all that gets sent out to my analog, which makes it sound nice.

obviously, it's not particularly useful musically yet, but i think these experiments are getting closer to something

edit: LOL actually listening to it, i realized i screwed something up. hold for blog

Reminds me of my old prof Dr. Stolet and his crazy 12 tone pinao + synth spaz fests.
