and tagged it with Music A first draft on an Eno-esque ambient thing.
A JavaScript application randomizes note order from a list of allowed notes and pipes them to the Web MIDI Api They then enter Ableton Live which routes the MIDI to an E-Mu Proteus/2 that does the actual sound generating. The sound from the Proteus is then treated with delay, reverb and Valhalla Shimmer in Live.
This is very much inspired by the article JavaScript Systems Music and by Eno’s Airports 2/1.
@MrHenko That’s really interesting. I’ve never written any generative music but once wrote a piece composed of 5 sections of different lengths that all looped and overlapped giving a varied output. It was 19 minutes but I worked out it could have gone for hours without repeating.
@colinwalker Thanks! :) But I don’t know if I should really say I wrote something in this case. More like I setup some ground rules and tweaked sound. Anyway, it was great fun to do. Did you read the article that I based my experiment on? What you did sounds a lot like Brian Eno’s technique. Do you have your piece available online for listening?
@MrHenko I’ve not read the article yet. Eno has done both, loops and generative. I hear you on whether you’re “the composer”. I wrote a post about that after Eno released Reflection. I’ll have to get mine online
@MrHenko Here’s mine – Part 2 is the one I mentioned but there’s also Part 1 as a bonus. It’s crazy to think they’re 17 years old now!
@colinwalker Thoughtfull post! I liked it.
@colinwalker Thanks! Really interesting sounding.
@MrHenko Thanks. I’m glad you liked it.

This is very much not a cohesive review. It’s me saying ”random” thoughts about the movie less than ten minutes after I watched it for the first time.

16 oktober, 2017 09:17@MrHenko Gaiman is my absolute favourite author. I first got into Sandman many years ago but then discovered his books and, I agree, he’s someone who lodged himself in your mind. I’d recommend Anansi Boys or American Gods next.

16 oktober, 2017 09:59@colinwalker Thanks for the recommendations! I think a paperback of American Gods is already in my bookshelf, but I’ll have to check once I get home. And yeah, there really is something special about Gaiman and I think part of it, at least to me, is that he seems to be such a likeable, intelligent and nerdy guy.
