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.

I am a sucker for good solo piano, this is lovely.

My thanks to all those who contributed vocals to this track: GCD, Sudara, Marlena, MMI, La Savage, Robot Molly, Matt Savigear, Wildgeas, and me!

Very nice. With respect to your question I am still very much a beginner with piano but I am being taught Blues and that seems to involve a lot of interesting bass lines. Maybe that might be something to check out?

Hopefully Reichatron will go live early next week. I can't upload it to the UL myself as it's too big, but NI have offered to do it.

This is wonderfully dark and beautiful. I think it would be quite something to hear it live!

I don't know from chord progressions but it sounds pretty good to me!

I don't see what needs re-recording but you know best. Really good, can't believe how quickly 9:20 slipped by :)

Love this, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it has a wistful quality that I found very moving.

Sounds like I am going to enjoy your RPM album a lot!

Beautiful! Not wasting any time getting started are you? :-)

Fab playing you guys, I could listen to this for hours.

Beautiful.

I love it, warts and all. Maybe especially for the warts :)

Wonderful sound. More experiments to come?

That was beautiful.

Was that your Boss GT-10 at work? Very dark and brooding.

How could I not love something made with the sweat of my brow (and for once there really was a lot of sweat!). I enjoyed what you've done arranging the Reichatron output with other parts. This is fun :)

Lovely, perfect for a still, frosty, night.

Love this one, lovely sounds.

Well, I would never have expected to enjoy this - not the kind of thing I would normally listen to at all - but I did. Great stuff!
