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

my only problem with generative music is that it seems to always be based around strictly electronic sounds....i need some variety!
though i guess wind chimes count as generative..no?

hot wanks of the day.
quick description:
four slots are sequenced. each slot has two sliders-one for interval, one for speed. the interval means that it'll play a series of intervals. speed is a clock divide.
it runs through that, then into the quantizer. the quantizer has one octave of keyboard to control the mode, and one to control the tonic pitch. makes playing it very intuitive and silly. YUS
oh yeah and the bass is just every fourth note from the stream of the melody, pitched down two octaves.

Seriously, we no longer have a need for Battles (the band).
Send them their pink slips.

The most common treatment effects come from eating meals with too much fat while using alli capsules. Undigested fat cannot be absorbed and passes through the body naturally. The excess fat is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it in the toilet as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza.

don't mind if I embroider this text and hang the resulting lacy thing above my bed

Has the term "wankestra" been coined yet?
I actually do like it better when it's spaced out and slower.
