Very interesting! The BBC called, they want their Radiophonic Workshop back :-)

Thanks guys. Wildgeas: Yeah I got a definite "It's full of stars" vibe and I'm thinking of renaming the Reaktor ensemble TMA-2. I suspect the sampler based version will always be a bit this way because of the granular nature of the sounds. When I use the collision sequencer to drive an additive oscillator bank it might get more interesting. Or not ;-) Nebulonic: Glad you like it. As to the type of equations it is an incredibly simple analog of a 2D gas. 64 particles are represented by (X,Y,direction,energy) in a 100x100 vessel. Brighter particles have more energy and travel faster. CR/SS: Thanks... I find some of the tones generated remind me of the background sounds from David Lynch's Dune movie (a favourite when I were a lad). Johnny: Thanks man. More to come.

I was just telling my son about your original program a while ago. I showed him the video you made for this. It's a GREAT example of how science and creativity work together. I think you are stumbling onto things that you aren't aware of...not talking about the goofy black hole idea. :)

I can't imagine, I'm back to check this thing out again. This is awesome to watch.

Your technical and creative skills came together amazingly well in this one. As for the noise, I did the calulations and I have come to the conclusion that the reason you have all the noise is that the frequencies being generated are opening tiny holes between us and a quantum neighbor. The holes are slowly leaking energy from the other dimension into ours. This leaked energy is entering our brains as well. Your quantum self knew you were going to do this in our dimension. So he created a program that he is injecting into the hole...and bit by bit..he is reprogramming our brains. So.. THANKS ALOT!! lol But seriously. This is well beyond interesting! Just hope the andromeda strain isn't coming true... Speaking of life in other places...didn't they find life on mars similar to pond scum??

May I ask what type of equations you used?? What kind of particles? Is the box supposed to be like a vacuum as it is in space? It would be interesting to know how many collisions are occuring. And..do you think you could do this with REAL particles? You would probably have to utilize the MADD device. Magnetic Anomoly Detector. It can detect disturbances in the magetic field of Earth. Dist. as small as a school of fish swimming in the ocean. Thanks for sharing...this triggers ones imagination for sure. And it's sounds alot more interesing than sci-fi from the 70's. Have you checked out that software which allows you to hear what certain molecules sound like? Everything emits sound... on second though, maybe you should be careful..you may be calling meet-eating aliens to our planet. hehe I'f also like to see what the brain looks like when listening to this.

Cool vid mate and a very cool experiment. Great sounds.

On a more serious note, that's some experiment in sound. The video is wild!

is that you Dave?

Where are you?

I am so first

keeping it nice and creepy. i like.

Beautiful. I love the sense of texture, and what sit in my ear as illusions of different physical spaces, of varying shape and size - wonderful.

Pretty Cool!

great song, love the intro and the crunchy keys

Woot! I am in a long (but spray on) dress, reclining seductively atop the piano. I have forgotten the lyrics, but it matters not because I have the BEST shoes, and your playing is fabulous! Kudos! And "More!"

Very nice, sir! Worth the hard work.

Dig this! Keep on posting these, because this is inspiring. Maybe I'm nuts, but it almost makes me think that maybe those of us on alonetone who are trying to improve on the piano could form a group for mutual encouragement purposes, and post what we're practicing.

Great jo mate excellent

Anybody that feels that "it's too late" to learn an instrument only needs to look (and listen) here. You should be proud.

Nice gritty sounds.

That was lovely. I can quite easily see how you would just jam for hours and never get around to recording. Which probably means you should be on stage!

Thanks folks. When I put this one up I was afraid it would be a bit far out but, on repeated listenings, I think it's more accessible than I imagined. Glad you like it.

This is a beautiful work. The various sections are interesting in themselves but I also love how you've blended them together, the changes work really well. Bravo!

Love this. I've tried to make pieces like this but it's beyond my talent for arrangement at this point. I love how you've blended traditional sounds with experimental timbres. Nicely done!

Short but sweet.

This is another of those tracks where I look for the 'double favourite' button in vain.

I enjoyed this a lot. Would that I would be able to improvise like this one day.

Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.

Strangeness after my own heart.

Really enjoyed this one, some great sounds and placement of those sounds.

Yeah my apologies to all listeners for not putting a fat reverb tail on this one. I wasn't thinking too hard. I might do that an re-upload it.

Love this.

I've really enjoyed these tracks you've just uploaded but this one is easily my favourite. Evocative blending of sounds with a sketchy vocal that really fits. Nicely done.

Like this one a lot.

Ah mes non, it appears I have mislead you. What sounds like a guitar is in fact.. a guitar. It's one of the very nice lap steel guitars from Omnisphere and I play the chords I used for the piano part which was used to create the main glitchmosphere.

Awesome. Yes there was a bit of clipping in there but who cares really? This was very listenable.

Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(

I think after all I like this version best. It has a smooth, easy feel to it, like cruising through the night on a deserted motorway.

Lovely way to slide into the morning.
