A collection of simple algorithmic music experiments created with a self-made software tool. It explores harmonic motion based triggering of notes, and modal harmony mapping and sequencing of pitches.
Just 1 instrumental layer is involved in each composition.
By the moment, these are just studies, but will evolve into something serious in the future.


Algorithmic experiments

Polyphonic glissando of 10 resonating strings. Made to represent movement of 10 light beams.

Elastic

Skynet Five

Pencils

Rellotge

Crustacis

Yet another synth sequence coming from the axial light show...

Follow Point

First of a series of harmonic and non-harmonic clusters

Cluster One

Second in the series... expect more of this kind...

Cluster Two

Algorithmic_1: Augmented Glass

Algorithmic_2: Arabian

Algorithmic_3: Strumming

Spring Rites

Nine Crystals

Impressions Ok

An output from the ongoing research software for algorithmic composition. MIDI notes are generated through sets of harmonic and rhythmic rules, which include probabilistic models. These notes are then used to feed a synthesizer.

Exoprophet

Another experiment of chance driven music, made through self-made tools using max-msp.

another sample of the outputs on my generative music software...

a Kind of Magic

Another generative sample. This time, the same parameters for rhythm generation than "a Kind of Magic", but a harmonic progression based on chains of probability. You can follow the discussion about it here: https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/weighted-probability.337353/

Chained Markov's Jazz

Playmodes is an audiovisual research collective; this is its sound repository. 

All our music is made using custom software and hand-coded digital synthesis. We create our own algorithmic sequencers; we create our own synthesizers; we turn pixels into sound, and we treat sound and light as the exact same thing.
