Then It Was

"The Coil" is an accompanied algorithm composition. Where in the drums and a sequence of sampled parrot voicing are produced with a generating pure data patch. I accompany the track on bass guitar, wavestation and a sequential circuits pro-one.

The Coil

A modular performance with Noise driving everything. Quantized SH whistle noise melody. Amp'd modulated noise feedback field. Noise sourced from many 5u modules employed. b4 is a live performance not a generated track.

Chrysalis

This skin, it cages me. I long to be free. To escape this puzzle of bone and flesh. Time and space. Birth to death. Death in chrysalis will be to live once again.

Chrysalis, an metaphorical personification in audio. To paint a picture with sound.

Chrysalis is an algorithm performance generating midi notes converted to voltages for the high frequency modular synth oscillator noise (representing the cocoon). The algorithm also generates the notes for the low-end piano tremors (the butterfly wrestling about inside). Generated notes play the Roland JX10 (the improvisational butterfly leaving the cocoon). There is a lot of live mixing here that directs the high frequency audio but otherwise a totally generated performance.

A layered synthesizer played with a latched chord.

SynthIT - live modular synth performance

An algorithmic generated jam session for Bass, Drum Kit & Keys. All notes generated in the Key of D. Makes for interesting improv if you accompany the track on your own instrument. This track is the first recording in my band algorithm development series. The Band Theory algorithm will produce this 3 piece band improv. indefinitely. The generated score can be used as an indefinite live performance, background soundtrack, improv or midi input data for AI models.

Band Theory

The algorithm generated music presented here is composed midi tracks for all instruments; drums, bass, & piano in the key of D. This track is the second algorithm performance developed and used in training our Ai models. We have been separating the instrument midi tracks and editing the them down to smaller versions for training the predictive model. The directive here is to develop an algorithm capable of generating a midi score in a conventional music genre. The generated score can be used as an indefinite live performance, background soundtrack, improv or midi input data for AI models.

This track is almost the same as it's predecessor "Band Theory". The most notable difference is the high-hat(HH). In the original track "band theory" the HH was almost hidden in the performance. By altering the conditional percentages of the [spigot] objects the HH jumps right into the performance as a prominent instrument in the mix.

Band Theory After

The algorithm generated music presented here is composed midi tracks for all instruments; drums, bass, sequence & keyboard chords in the key of F#. This patch expands the band theory structure to four midi tracks. Bass guitar is triggered off of the kick drum. This is part 3 in the algorithm development project. Island stands out as a very identifiable performance in the algorithm performances of the series. The generated score can be used as an indefinite live performance, background soundtrack, improv or midi input data for AI models.

Island

The algorithm generated music presented here is composed midi tracks for instruments; drums, bass & keyboard chords in the key of F#. I accompany the generated track on a Korg Wavestation EX & layered SR module. The algorithm structure was expanded into sub patch configurations to accomidate the size. There were rapid changes that occurred to the percussion sub patches that moved the previous algorithm into to a smooth rhythm. This is part 4 in the algorithm development project.

Strands Together

An algorithm generated performance. Programmed into the algorithm's conditional statements is the musicality of our studio pianist. The algorithm will generate the midi notes for this live performance indefinitely.

Keys to The Lock

Algorithm Music Development Systems, Synthesis & Instrumentals : ACT I

The algorithm generated music presented here is composed tracks for electronic instruments. Developing algorithms for genre song type generating; humanistic performances in artificial music & Ai synthetic datasets. This generated music DOES NOT derive composition by frequency analyzing commercial or historical audio samples or midi.

The "KicKRaTT linkTree" link below will connect you to all of the online resources. The YouTube KicKRaTT channel is where the videos demonstrating the pure data patch performances can are presented. The KicKRaTT Blog & Journal is where the music, the videos & the pure data patch breakdowns come together to define how I generated the music heard here and log the endeavor.

KaOzBrD is the ACT II in this music generating process. Link below to the KaOzBrD SoundCloud Account. Selected tracks found here & on SoundCloud KaOzBrD can be purchased on the "Aquire KicKRaTT Music" link below.
