All In C

supercollider showcase (2013 - 2010)

Second attempt at a solo recording on 9/30/13.
Work in progress
Recorded in a practice room using Loopy HD for iOS, pardon the saxophones

Terry Riley: In C

So now we're getting somewhere! 10 players playing all patterns. The players are listening to each other and they keep together nicely. All I have to do next is fix the ending and maybe find some more beautiful sounds.

Seventy-three is the 21st prime number. The previous is seventy-one, with which it comprises the 8th twin prime. It is also a permutable prime with thirty-seven. 73 is a star number.

73 is the largest minimal Primitive root in the first 100000 primes. In other words, if p is one of the first 100000 primes, then at least one of the primes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ..., 73 is a primitive root modulo p.

73 is the smallest prime congruent to 1 modulo 24.

73 is an emirp.

The mirror of 73, the 21st prime number, 37, is the 12th prime number. The number 21 includes factors 7 and 3. The number 21 in binary is 10101 and Seventy-three in binary, 1001001, both are a palindrome. In addition, of the 7 binary digits representing 73, there are 3 ones. Also, 37+12=49 (seven squared) and 73+21=94=47×2, 47+2 also being equal to seven squared. Additionally, both 73 and its mirror, 37, are primes twice over, as 31, 43, 67 and 79 are all prime numbers.

Every positive integer can be written as the sum of 73 or fewer sixth powers (see Waring's problem).

In base 5, the smallest prime with a composite sum of digits is 73.

73 is the only prime repunit in base 8 (1118).

73 is the smallest factor of the first composite generalized Fermat number in base 10 (104+1 = 10,001 = 73×137).

Score 9

Terry Riley - In C (Limited Taste Remix)

Is this the shortest version of Terry Riley’s “In C” ever?
Midi realisation of “In C” by Terry Riley (1964). The score of Ïn C” consists of one sheet with 53 short, numbered melodic patterns, lasting from half a beat to 32 beats and two pages with Performing Directions by Terry Riley. C. The score is the part for all players. 
This version of the piece violates quite a number of the basic directions. And it’s short (3:30 minutes) compared to the usual length (45 minutes to 1,5 hours). 

You can download the score from http://www.flagmusic.com/work.php?r=trjhinc
(and listen to a beautiful Midi realisation of “In C” by Jeffrey C. Hall)

Maybe you want to watch on Unos cuantos punticos (A few little points) on YouTube (with the sound switched off) while listening to this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2wJIJNuGMc

Terry Riley - In C  (Limited Taste Remix)

A thunderstorm, made with SuperCollider. There are three layers of sounds: rain, wind and thunder. 
There is a global envelope controlling the density of the raindrops and the thunder as well as the frequency of the wind. For the rain there are ticks of noise, but also a few drops falling on metal objects. I like that sound. 
For the wind there are two identical functions, one plays in the left channel and one plays right. Thunder is the most complicated of them all. It is filtered noise with a slow trigger for making a thunderclap and a fast trigger for the rumbling within a thunder. I added some FreeVerb to make it more spatial.

Discovering SuperCollider02: Thunderstorm

Imagine a box that is divided into smaller compartments. You start randomly throwing beads (or marbles or grains) into it. Wheneven one compartment is full, you stop. Check how many beads there are in a compartment whenever a bead falls and check the distribution of beads in the box after you stopped. Turn numbers into pitches. Or show numbers as ASCII-characters. For the latter you need to run the code in SuperCollider. The code is available at http://sccode.org/1-31X . For the complete experience you change maxValue to 255 and  you remove '+32' where shown.

Discovering SuperCollider04: Confetti2

Yeah, let's do the Bell Thing! The Bell Thing was inspired by an experiment that my brother did on his sampler, holding the keys down with boxes of musicassettes. Sounds great, looks ehm... interesting. There are several reasons to do this. First of all I definitely wanted to do The Bell Thing in SuperCollider. Furthermore tomorrow is my mother's 86th birthday and I was wondering if I could make a computercomposition that she would enjoy listening to. And finally it can be done with a tiny amount of code, so it could be a SCtweet. Here it is:

for(1,16,{arg i;{Pan2.ar(VarSaw.ar(50*i,0,0.35,EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01,16/i),Impulse.kr(i/32,1.0.rand))/i),(-1**i)*i/16,0.25)}.play})


The Bell Thing

Remember Confetti 2, https://soundcloud.com/henklasschuit/discovering-supercollider04 ? There you heard only one oscillator at the time. In SuperCollider it is easy to use 100 oscillators at the same time, so while a distribution is made, you can hear sounds that correspond with all the values in the box. That doesn't swing at all, instead it gives a kind of Xenakis-like experience.

Skuska Terry Riley In C

The search for prime numbers from 1 to 100 is represented by sound. Channel 1: the numbers, channel 0: the divisors. In the center: a fm-sound with a carrier that is related to the number and a modulator that is related to the divisor. A harmonic sound means the carrier is a multiple of the modulator, so the number is a multiple of the divisor. Therefor a harmonic sound means: not a prime number. When a new prime number is encountered, the list of prime numbers is played.

The quest for the prime numbers

Terry Riley - In C

There was a time when I was involved in Science! But that was a mistake. My Passion is music. I play the pipe-organ and synthesizer, I play the organ in a few bands and I like Apple computers. I discovered SuperCollider and VCV Rack: great ways of making sounds. Enjoy them on SoundCloud!
