Harmonic-Rythmic Drones for Improv warmup

CM Drone Einspiel

A three minute warming-up track for modal improvisation over a GM7 chord.

GM Drone

This is the inaugural daily track for music generated with the Partito Harmony engine. May as well start with John Coltrane's own harmony exercise, Giant Steps.  Sounds for this track are from Ableton Live. And so it starts: one a day, at least -- an experiment with pure algorithmic harmony.

GiantSteps

improvising in scale-fields above chords generated sequentially in the partito harmony space.

FrameOfCounting

Piano moving freely over Blue in Green chords. That's it.

BlueInGreenPianoAlone

Some numbers, some sounds, a lazy day. How much intention is in the algorithm, anyway?

WhatWentBy

A generated track with flute and orchestral percussion. Let it just go after a while.

Flout

Some new settings bring some new patterns. More lines..

So I was doing the vacuuming and I just decided to set this on and let it go once I found a really paddish slow setting. I suppose it could change instruments dynamically, according to key, or time of day, or user input. But today I just let it go, because of the stomach flu that was in the house yesterday night.
