Sci-Fi music

More experiments in automated music. I set up the initial conditions with just a sine wave triggering everything. This one was done with a whole stack of Pluggo plugins feeding each other. I just have to step out of the way and let them do their thing. 2005-05-08

More random behavior

Made with processes similar to yesterday’s but much less noisy. 2005-05-07

Atomaton

I let the computer play with yesterday’s track. It’s really quite noisy. 2005-05-06

Long glass tunnel

Very sleepy and dreamy. In many cases, I hope that you are able to forget that you are listening to these tracks while you are listening to them. 2005-05-05

Control

Almost the same thing, without the randomness. 2005-05-04

Infuriating . . .

This is completely slapdash and random with very little involvement on my part, and of course, much more interesting and listenable than things that I slave over for hours. The source material is some of the MIDI tracks from Web Phase. 2005-05-03

Getting closer

This is the long, slow version with a big reverb, the original signal subtracted and a new, transposed version laid on top. Basically what you get is a reverb coming back in a different pitch. 2005-05-02

Bordering on obsession

Same original material once again, but this time at the original tempo. I’m playing around with phase relationships and offsets as well as acoustic resonance. 2005-05-01

And furthermore – –

I’ve taken yesterday’s track and made it a bit blurrier. I’ve also converted to Just Intonation. 2005-04-30 It took three programs to get it this way: Garage Band, Logic Express and Cubase SX 3. I wish I could combine all the features into one program.

More

I liked yesterday’s tune, so I made it twice as long, and twice as slow. 2005-04-29
