A study in the performance of Dan Derks Cheat Codes 2 script for Norns.

A single live performance - all sounds from CC2 and Norns tape.

Bank A setup as a whole bar arp @ 0.5x rate using first half of live buffer which includes melodic info
Bank B set up as 1/8 note arp @ 1x rate using whole live buffer which includes melodic and rhythmic info
Bank C set up as euclidian pattern 11/14 set to span and auto rotate set to 1 - using first half of live buffer which includes melodic info. 

Using delay page to effect all banks and to provide new looping melodic info.

CC2 has been such a wild ride - I have wanted something like this for the past 15 years! And along comes this script...Mind blowing work by its author and I'm super excited to see where it may take future sonic possibilities.

Cheating & Coding 2

In July of 2020, Tyler Etters (@tyleretters) put out a request for contributions to start a project for norns named dronecaster (https://llllllll.co/t/dronecaster/34737). He found his first collaborator in Ryan Laws ('license' on lines), who helped build a SuperCollider template which not only deployed Tyler’s initial vision, but made it easy for others to contribute as well. among those was Zack Scholl (@infinitedigits), whose norns scripts 'blndr' (https://llllllll.co/t/blndr/35106) and 'barcode' (https://llllllll.co/t/barcode/35297) were already instant classics within the community.

This episode is comprised of separate but dovetailing conversations with these three artists, each recorded almost two years ago. Their perspectives remain incredibly energizing + inspiring, and I’m so humbled to be able to share them as the 23rd episode of this podcast.

Tyler Etters, Ryan Laws, Zack Scholl: sound + process #23

After recording a few tracks of ice dropping in a glass I proceeded to reverberate it, slow it down, reverse it, and run it through a vocoder... all of this over a couple of tracks that start out cold and mechanical and end up warm and boozy.

Cheats & Codes iii

Rylee (@aalanzaa) is a brilliant mathematician, teacher, speaker, developer, musician, and facilitator of community. She’s a moderator at lines, a constant and encouraging presence in the norns discord, and in the last weeks of December last year she released an incredible collection of hyperpop and electronica songs as Alanza called 'Learning to Run'.

An episode with Rylee has long been on my wishlist — like, since 2018. In every track she shared as part of the Disquiet (@disquiet) Junto that year, Rylee always uncovered the most hypnotic and miraculous timbres — and her virtuosity as a synthesist has only become more evident in the years since.

In this episode, Rylee shares insights into her pursuits as a mathematician, her strategies for synthesizer orchestration inside and out of a pop music context, and some background into the production of 'Learning to Run'.

Rylee approached our conversation with so much generosity and openness of heart — I'm very thankful we finally got to make this happen.

All featured tracks are from 'Learning to Run' (https://alanza.bandcamp.com/album/learning-to-run):
- Breaking Philip
- Your Way Through Mine
- It's Not Him
- Me
- They Gave You Bones
- Nowhere
- You
- Push It Through
