If understand correctly: great call and response of the directional improvisation with its "receivers". Lovely track-title as well.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0651: Why Compute?, which is based on a prompt by musician and Columbia University professor George E. Lewis. Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0651 discussion thread on Lines:
My response to George E. Lewis's question "Why do we want our computers to improvise?" is - they can help create, influence, untangle and/or open up fresh neural pathways within our brains in discovering new approaches for our music compositions.

More than half the music I create usually involves some form of non-human generative or semi-generative improvisation to collaborate with. In the past, the collaborators have been various computer programs or hardware systems like the Monome Norns. Lately, it's been the modular synthesizer, though I did use my MacBook Pro here.

Three tracks were produced in Ableton Live with the help of a generative sequencer called TATAT by K-Devices. I improvised accompanying tracks using a K-Board MIDI keyboard. The synth plugins used were Slate + Ash Choreographs and Cycles, Fors Tela, and Sonic Beds 1.0 by Jogging House. Reverb effects were by Phonolyth Cascade.

Disquiet Junto Project 0651: Why Compute?
The Assignment: Respond to a prompt from George E. Lewis.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”
I, for myself, to be surprised by the improvisations.
But not too much.
That's why half of this track is made up of repeating patterns and the other half of patterns that change through computing slightly (!) with every interation.

Subsidiary Surprise [disquiet0651]

In response to the recent Disquiet Junto challenge:

This week’s prompt was proposed by George E. Lewis, musician, music theorist, music professor at Columbia University, and artistic director of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Lewis is the composer-in-residence at this year’s Musikfestival Bern.

Lewis asks, “Why do we want our computers to improvise?”

This week’s project: record a piece of music that responds in some way to Lewis’ question.

An answer could be, that it helps with creativity. 
For this track Randolon sequencer (by Charles E. Platel) plays Glockenspiel and Arctic Swells (Spitfire audio LABS). I added a track created with Havoxicon ( by Johan van Kreij).

Experimentation with Bitwig's FX Grid, processing a Harmony Bloom generated sequence with various randomisers, such as dice, sample and hold, and logical arithmetic based on several channels of source. The result was then further modified with Infiltrator 2, and Sampleson's Haptic Perc, and Xils-Lab La Palme.

Stillpoint

A cinematic instrumental holiday album that bathes the season in late-Romantic grandeur and intimate hearthside warmth. Soaring violins, cascading harp arpeggios, and lush orchestral swells evoke the emotional world of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, reimagined through a modern ambient lens.

Each track unfolds like a winter rhapsody — from the glow of a crackling fireplace to snow drifting beyond frost-touched windows — blending classical lyricism with immersive sound design. Gentle seasonal textures, distant bells, and warm room ambience create the feeling of a quiet Christmas night where memory, romance, and reflection meet.

Designed for deep listening, relaxation, and cinematic escape, Fires of Winter is both a tribute to the great Romantic tradition and a contemporary holiday soundscape for fireside evenings, winter drives, and timeless seasonal reverie.
