Description: Algorithmic live improvised song in Haskell programming language in Tidal Cycles.

Electronic

Multi-layer improvised song on Korg Radias keyboard with some quality portamento.

Octal 73

Waveform artwork is a section from one of my acrylic paintings I made when I taught a paint night at my house.  I composed the basis for this song on my phone while my girl went into a haunted house and I was scared so I waited outside, hence the name of the song.  I went back over this song multiple times with Korg Radias later, and also with Kaossilator to add effects.

Haunted Wait

Algorithmic live improvised song in Haskell programming language in Tidal Cycles.

Specifically, imagine the Rock Biter in The NeverEnding Story trying to hold on to his friends as the Nothing takes them away.

"They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were."

My little sister and I often joked about getting "weak hand syndrome" (WHS) when we were oxygen-deprived from laughing too much.

Weak Hands

Nulla apparet ratio.
Si causa est, non invenimus.

Translation:
There is no apparent reason.
If there is a reason, we have not found it.

This girl tried to believe in a purpose, but she encountered too much pain and no longer believes in justice.

Non Invenimus

There is a mystical place in the ocean, and if you jump in with your eyes closed, then you become the leader of a bunch of deep sea creatures that worship you, promise.

So what now?

The pieces are set,
The board is occupied,
The main actors have taken their positions.

The inevitable is coming,
Fear fills hearts and minds.

Will what many predict come to pass,
Or will fate turn in our favor?

The core of our beings has been seized by the machine.
The art that defined us is being smothered by a flood of perfect artificiality.

Simulation of emotions, simulation of art, simulation of humanity.
Where do we belong?

Where is my place?

And what now?

This is a piece I improvised on March 23, 2025. I was surprised at how well it turned out. However, I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't think of anything more, so I'm publishing it as is, with minor tweaks (I literally added six notes in three places).

With this piece I am starting a series in which I will be posting rather uncomplicated, short pieces, created out of the need of the moment, under the impression of something specific.

To compose it I used only 3 plugins/sounds
Spitfire LABS Autograph Grand (piano) (free)
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings x2 (in octave)
And one patch from truly amazing synth from Arturia: Pigments

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
