Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
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. :)

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.

I spent 15 hours composing and playing this or, I should rather say, this is the sole product of 15 hours of sitting with Live & my piano.
I think there is the kernel of something good in it (and I intend to explore that later) but the…
Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.
I was…
Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake.
That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…
This is one track where I can say, without reservation, that I am really happy with how it came out.
I worked up a beat I liked with 3 Stylus RMX parts making good use of chaos and time designer for the breaks.
For the first time I really…

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!"

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.

A solo cello improvisation with live looping, inspired by the tea clipper Cutty Sark. I was trying to achieve a kind of sea journey feel, with calm bits and rough bits.
I like this a lot. It reminds me why I like making noise pieces and that you shouldn't get hung up on conceptions of "music" as being something. Great noise!
Initial harmony, that infinitely moving in space, becomes thiner and thiner and finally turns to chaos. We, humans, are able to distinguish harmony in seeming casual sounds. We're able re-create it.

Ideas and patterns, especially in music, comes immediate, and often as quickly disappear - as if they were not there at all. That is why a true Knight Of The Music is always ready. In the modern sense, this means that his studio all the time is…
Sometimes the past in which you felt successful and strong, reminds of fragility of life. It's a sign of that you are in a point of transition and you should make a choice. Or the choice will be made for you. For me.

Still playing with my _Neurotik_ sequencer made using Max for Live. This one turned out a bit strange. I was actually using it to drive Kontakt with cello & violin patches.
It was sort of interesting but not quite working when I dropped CamelSpace…
This track was remixed by [licoresse](http://alonetone.com/licoresse) as [Mountain People v2](http://alonetone.com/licoresse/tracks/mountain-people-v2-sandbags). It's great, give it a listen.
This song was inspired by a sample made by Sandbags (Neurotic beat 5) heard in the beginning (and throughout the piece). Thank you Matt!
Now even better, brighter and more beautiful.

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

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

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.

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.

It's great, soothing. Nice one.
That was quite a trip Steve, quite a trip :)
Cool sound.
I like this one too. A great 6 hours work man!
Great tune Brando!
Catchy, enjoyed that one.
Very cool sound.
I like this a lot. It reminds me why I like making noise pieces and that you shouldn't get hung up on conceptions of "music" as being something. Great noise!
Beautiful Igor. I can feel the everything drifting in and out of phase around me.
Lovely piece Igor.
Simple and beautiful, I like.
Lovely, glad you're back!
Encore!
Cool track.
My kind of yea.
I'm really enjoying what you do Bruce. Very inventive, very playful.
Love it.

Enjoyed that!
