Disquiet0372

I made this piece for Pi day based on this weeks disquiet assignment

multiple different methods at play here using the numerical values of pi - whether used sequentially to create the speed of an lfo or the parameters on an effect, or as the parameters for a euclidean drum pattern generator i found online http://www.groovemechanics.com/euclid/. I also used the dialogue of a reading of the pi sequence from mushino on freesound https://freesound.org/people/mushino/sounds/455169/. Note data was taken from the MIDI files found at http://www.hlxx.de/hp/pifoengl.htm

NOTE: I really wasn't happy with the original mix so i re-jigged it a bit, made it so it didn't make me sad listening to it : )

Pi's Big Blunder - disquiet0376

for this track I used the first 20 digits of pi to create a sequence of four-note chords. I established a base note and then added the successive digits of pi to that base note in groups of four, as 

[base + 3, base+1, base+4, base+1] = first chord
[base + 1, base+4, base+1, base+5] = second chord

and so on. The individual notes are FM voice synthesis; I modulated the phoneme for each note randomly and played each voice for a randomized length of time. The chords are run through three delays set to different times and a reverb. The piece is coded in ChucK, available at my GitHub here:

disquiet0376 PiPad

My contribution to the Disquiet Junto project "Pi Filling". 
Recorded with Cubase Pro 9.5, Universal Audio Apollo Twin.

Dreams Of Pi

For my submission I took the first 12 numbers of pi and used them to create 4 groups of 3 note chords (314, 159, 265, 359). I then used those first 12 numbers to decide on key centres in which to play these 4 groups in...arbitrarily choosing A as 1 gave me C#, A, D, A, E, B, B, F#, E, C#, E, B. So the piece is just me playing guitar going through the four 3 note chord groups in order, through each of those keys in order, and then it ends. Repeating motifs naturally emerge using this method but I used variations in voicings, voice leading, and right hand picking to give it some structure. 

I had some slightly grander schemes in mind, but in the end I knew that I would not have any other time before Monday to record anything, so I kept it fairly simple. Too much reverb is used to somewhat disguise the fact that the only guitar that I have to hand today has ancient strings and a few tuning issues!

disquiet0376: pi filling

This follows a Disquiet Junto challenge to create a piece of music which uses PI (3.1.4159).  To that end:

1) there are 3 voices (drone, bass, melody).
2) the piece is 31 bars long (4/4 time signature).
3) bass line is made from the steps of the dorian mode in the order 314159, repeated in that order.
4) the melody uses the the same steps of the dorian mode, 2 octaves higher and played in a random order.

The piece was played using the Strum script (by me @carvingcode)on the monome norns musical computer.  The drone is from the String Studio 3 AU by Applied Audio System.
