(Pick Me Up) Euphoria

(Pick Me Up) Euphoria (From "Euphoria" An HBO Original Series) [feat. Labrinth]

Evolution occurs within its own timeframe and resists being hurried.  Often, when there are huge technological advances, it will take time for everyone to be comfortable and continue their own progress.  Is this what is going to happen with advances in AI?  Some argue that whole value systems will change — I think it depends on how deep those values are.  What do you think?

Description:
This composition is inspired from a FaceBook group "Mathematical Tiling and Tessellation" (Ref. [1]), on a tiling pattern inspired from  Pythagoras' 3,4,5 triangle.  Ref. [1]'s posting date corresponded to the squares of the 3,4,5 triangle, 16-Sep-25, whereas I made a musical interpretation of this. I have seen this countless times, the "3 4 5 Triangle" (triangle who's sides have the integer lengths of 3, 4 and 5 units where the 3 and 4 sides are 90 degrees to each other) since learning algebra in high-school, but today was the day to be inspired to use this as the basis of delay times. There is another clue to this puzzle, Just Intonation, where the ratios between frequencies are made up from integer numerators and denominators and importantly, when these integers are small, the frequency pairs produced typically make for pleasing sounds. Now back to the inspiration. I made a few back of the envelope notes on time delay chains (how a delay+feedback networks connect to each other). Then when I came home, turned on my NOF_PulDelFilt digital synthesiser and started to experiment.

The Three Four Five album of three pieces, all take inspiration from this central idea, using the numbers from the 3,4,5 triangle for delay times and as starting points for tuning frequency ratios. The first piece is the Prelude, lasting 01 minute 14 seconds. The second piece is the Development, lasting 5 minutes 43 seconds; and the final piece is the Rest, lasting 1 minutes 31 seconds.

The PulDeFilt synthesiser also includes a multi-track audio recorder which can accept external audio signals in addition to the sound it makes. Here the external audio came from the Soma Enner (hardware synthesiser) feed into the Soma COSMOS (hardware memory station). The Soma Enner has no discrete tuning, rather frequency dials, these were adjusted live during the performance in response to the PulDeFilt synthesiser themes.

Thank you Ed Pegg for your posting of the three four five triangle tiling pattern, to inspire me to use it in a musical way. Also a big thanks to Vlad Kreimer of Soma Laboratory for bringing the Soma Enner to the music community, a truly organic human machine musical interface.
