--> whilst dicking about in the irc with ricemutt, we started talking about ratios for some stupid reason, and we gave me the stupid idea to make this patch-

it started with the blocky sounds of this:

which is four notes:

2/4,3/4,4/4,5/4

changing first to

3/4,4/4,5/4,6/4

and then to

3/5,4/5,5/5,6/5

and so on.

he gave me the idea to somehow find a way to do it smoothly, and these sounds were born:

it'd be the same as 1/1, the ratios are calculated from a hypothetical 1/1 that isnt heard

those sounds are pretty amazing... I'm really surprised how awesome they sound with such a simple sequence. Now figure out how to write some musc with that madness!

oh by the way, you're a wanker! ;)

and it would be cool to try other arithmetic manipulations, too, besides just simple addition... I mean, the sky's the limit. I'm tempted to fart around with this... oh, no, off the deep end!

I love how in the chords with the long glide there are brief moments of western harmony, yet they slide away before you can really fully bite into them.... good shit, you mad scientist you!
