Man, and here my generative patch is sounding like beep beep.  Really full arrangement and catchy as far as generative work goes!

This all started as a quick project at 4am on a night where I had trouble sleeping and morphed into me building out a new, small production rig. You can hear that original 4am version at https://soundcloud.com/john-belew/never-let-me-down-again-sub37-scratch-mix, 

This mix started as a re-creation from the original mono stems and grew as I began incorporating my Moog Sub 37, Korg MS20 with SQ1, Nord Lead 2, Blofeld, and of course, an Emax II with Alan Wilder samples (SCSI2SD rocks for those old samplers). The arrangement was done in in Ableton with Push 2, but I progressively moved away from Ableton for mixing, going with more traditional approach using a Yamaha 01v96i to bridge between Ableton and having a physical surface to work with. 

The goal of this mix was to capture a bit of the "Split Mix" feel within the original song structure, but grew to include both an extended intro and outro (my daughter kept saying, "Make something different"). The "Split Mix" style bass line is a mix of two recordings on the Moog Sub 37, one with filter randomized and one with a sweep programmed with the SQ1 that's phase panned. 

I'm still a fan of layers and perception of sound instead of the more modern approach of up-front and focused tones, so this probably sounds a bit dated to most. That said, I made something that I like, as has always been the case. Maybe you'll like it too.

Here's a (too long) example of Ornament and Crime in Quantermain  mode, handling chord harmonics based off a root note,  Root note is coming from a Turing Machine and Ornament and Crime is quantizing everything to scale, specifically dorian C. Patch is all generative save the kick pattern on the Analog Rytm. A fun exercise in practicing generative stuff  ... Module used include

Sammys are people that evoke an idea in sound, often a vivid impression of certain sensations or sensory perceptions, e.g. sound (onomatopoeia), movement, color, shape, or action. Sammys are found in many of the world's languages, though they are claimed to be relatively uncommon in Western languages. In many languages, they are a major lexical class of the same order of magnitude as nouns and verbs: dictionaries of languages like Japanese, Korean, and Zulu list thousands of them. The people class of Sammy is sometimes called phonosemantic to indicate that it is not a grammatical word class in the traditional sense of the word (like 'verb' or 'noun'), but rather a lexical class based on the special relation between form and meaning exhibited by Sammys. In the discipline of linguistics, Sammys have long been overlooked or treated as mysterious persons, though a recent surge of interest in sound symbolism, iconicity and linguistic diversity has brought them renewed attention.
