Latent Dirichlet Allocation is an example of a topic model and belongs to the machine learning field and in a wider sense to the artificial intelligence field. The latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a generative statistical model that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved groups that explain why some parts of the data are similar. For example, if observations are words collected into documents, it posits that each document is a mixture of a small number of topics and that each word's presence is attributable to one of the document's topics.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation

How to do it:
1) Make a really slow animation in a procedural modelling program - I used Mandelbulb 3D, which combines fractals with ordinary 3D space transformations
2) Set up a  drone of the same length in a music synthesis application - I used Max/MSP
3) Use the changing parameters of the animation to control some of the parameters of the drone, so that it evolves over time in perfect synchronisation with the animation.
It really IS that simple... but ... would anybody notice?
Hardly, I guess ... enjoy, anyway!

Dance Music For Really Slow Creatures (see description for video)

I made the sounds originally by hitting and scraping a huge stainless steel barred gate, then processing them beyond recognition using Max/MSP.

I Know What I Saw

A musical tribute to Bebe and Louis Barron.

Please note that this is a technology test or proof of concept - the real thing will follow later this year.

I made the music on a home made software synth, built using Nax/MSP. It uses a "Krell Patch" for sequencing - an original idea by the American composer Todd Barton - https://soundcloud.com/user7621213.
I used Mandelbulb3D to create the animation.

I shall probably delete this track and the video whenever I finish the final piece of work.

Music In The Ancient Krell Ceremonial Hall (Video on Youtube)

Last (?) in the serie. Dedicated to Daphne Oram. As usual. Guitar, effects, that's it. Improvised, assembled.
Le dernier de la série (?). Celui-ci est consacré à Daphne Oram. Comme d'habitude, une guitare, des effets et c'est tout. Improvisé puis assemblé.

Micro Suite N°2 For Raymond Scott

A simple experiment of Inverse Compton Scattering. One can hear, transposed in the audio domain, the scattering of high energy photon post interaction with high energy electrons.
