Messing around with a Dead Kennedys track through a granular synthesizer

Sweater Weather (Music Box Edition)

Electronic Music for the Sydney Opera House

I held you up so long - i cherished you
why am i so wrong - i did my best too
we were once so close - i know you knew
hate myself the most - its all for you
we don't really know- can't stop you
things just come out wrong - i know its true
never wanna stop - would die for you
even tho i hide - its best you knew

forever i careen 
my heart will turn to stone
forever i believe
in growing old alone

i try to heal but i 
can't seem to get much sleep even tho i try 
i try to feel but i 
can't even touch my teeth even tho i try

Careen

Two pisound boards interact. One hosts Sonic Pi3, which sends midi to the other. This hosts modep and sends the resulting audio from the various synths selected there back as a live_audio input to Sonic Pi3, where it accompanies the rhythm track being played there.

Grooverbn

This track is played by Sonic Pi, and is based on a tweet by @damianmooney in which he posted the idea of using Sonic Pi to play what an algorithm quicksort sounded like whilst it was sorting out some notes by their midi numbers. With his permission, I have taken the original code and modified it slightly and then used it to perform this piece. There is a description of it at https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/sonic-pi-quicksort-my-take/364 with the code

EtherealQuickSort

Song was built in code, to be the size of a tweet, using Sonic Pi
the "score" is as follows:

(0..9).each do [4,6,1,3].each do |n| (0..6).each do
      with_synth :piano  do play_chord (chord_degree n, :g, :minor, 3, invert: rand(-2)-4) end
      sleep 0.01
      with_synth :pluck do play_chord (chord_degree n, :g, :minor , 3, invert: rand(3)) end
      sleep 0.29
end end end

(0..9).each do [4,6,1,3].each do |n| (0..6).each do with_synth :piano  do play_chord...
