This is a sequencer-based piece. I use a Five12 Vector sequencer, controlled by a Novation Launchpad. 5 musical sequencer lines accompany 4 drum tracks and a keyboard voice. The Vector is a truly amazing and versatile sequencer. I use the Chance and Modulation channels a lot.

This is the most voices I've used at one time. I'm all about the melody and the harmonies and the counterpoints. This was played in one take, live to computer. I've been dorking with this thing for more than a month and thought it was time to lay it down, again.

For you synth nerds, the 6 voices are:
1) Braids mixed with a Synthtech E350 Morphing Terrarium into an E440 filter, velocity modulating low-pass cutoff
2) A Plaits with ADSR and Batumi modulating stuff
3) Rings, velocity modulates damping a little bit
4) Doepfer pulse wave mixed with Disting MK3 VCO into a 2HP MMF filter
5) Disting MK4 playing tuned xylophone samples
6) Keystep playing a Z3000 mixed with Braids into a Korgasmatron filter
The four drum sounds were an LDB-1, a Plonk and a Tiptop One.

221030, Proof

First output of a piece I've working on using my Vector sequencer.
6 parts: four melodic, plus one voice for drums on a Disting, and a drum voice. One take with post mixing and a little bit of reverb in Reaper.

About the project:
Exploring algorithmic composition and networked music.

“Automatic Orchestra” is an audio installation orchestrated by networked machines and people.
For the duration of the Resonate 2015 festival (resonate.io), an orchestra, comprised of 12 PROTOSEQ units, was programmed, equipped and assembled into a networked organism adapted to the site-specific situation.

Automatic Orchestra - Une

Quick snippet of something I'm working on, experimenting with "sequences" consisting of LFOs at various speeds quantized and reset each bar. Quite fun when you vary the speed.

Update: This has been expanded to the track "Corium" on my album "Sufficiently Advanced Technology," available on Bandcamp: https://dumbledog.bandcamp.com/album/sufficiently-advanced-technology

The Algorithm

Earlier today I was thinking about a neat trick with the Intellijel Planar Eurorack module. I fed the E355's two LFO's phase shifted 180° to make the motion of the joystick resemble a circle. I then connected the two E350 (both XY and Z to fill the four inputs) to the Planar. Added some modulation via the E102 so the E350's were modulated at different times and I also tuned them in fifths. This trick could also be a form of hocketing the two E350's. An E950, modulated of course, was added for extra thickness.

Melody from the Kilpatrick Audio K4815.

I Was Once A Seed In My Mothers Womb by Melanie Mercadante/Repool

This track is created with a single axoloti, using only 3 audio modules I created last week and a handfull of modulation sources (lfo's & note/gate sequencers).

The sounds are generated by a single oscillator that uses live ifft to generate and morph the spectral content of it's waveform.
This then goes through a mono delay that has a dual pitchshifter in the feedback path that shifts the looped audio in harmonic ratio's, morphing from one harmonic to the other in a particular sequence.
The result then goes through a pingpong-stereo reverb based on two 4-stage nested allpassed delaylines.
The melody info is generated by a tonnetz-diagram based sequencer.
