Radio 1 is an aleatoric composition. I did this in the late 90's - thus the 486SX laptop and soundcard attached to the LPT (printer) port.
It was generated through the Cakeawalk Pro Audio “extract rhythm” function performed on radio static…
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
Adaptive Just Intonation (trying to keep the harmonies pure)
full screen and HD recommended for the video - to see the software in action responding to my (edited) improvisation.
microtonal piano improvisation
it was pointed out to me at 2:54 you can hear Mary Had a Little Lamb - totally unintentional and in a completely foreign tuning to boot!

Organ in 15 Porcupine - I'm not very happy with this. I've fussed with it for a couple hours and it still sounds like disembodied phrases thrown together haphazardly to me. YMMV
Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).

I put together a patch of 6 oscillators using frequencies 198, 210, 220, 228, 230 and 280. I recorded the piece interactively playing as I felt them by triggering. A previously recorded loop often playing in reverse was also used. Produced…
starts out with a hint of Ludwig and becomes full on contemporary classical. Really like the quiet part at ~2 with the sustain pedal down. I don't know why - 3:18 started to echo Gershwin for me though it really doesn't sound like his style. Overall its a really nice piece with a multifaceted set of moods and thoughts - I enjoyed this very much!
This is really an intriguing piece as the song writing is somewhat Beatlesque with a totally modern sound. I love this even more than the previous view into this piece.
No one's left
and I'm afraid
I've got no choice.
I've got it made.
But I've known for a very long time
that I can't consent to the shape
that I've been assigned
without a chance to really define...
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

That's pretty intense.
Lovely, Dark and slightly disturbing all at the same time!
Nice!
Really enjoyed the intro to this one
That was really well done. I like it!
Loaded with lots of MeV! Excellent.
More cleverness! Very nice!
I enjoyed that. Oh, it ends abruptly!
The music sounds like it's trying to talk. (I don't mean the voice on the end)

Interesting tuning!
Wonderfully festive sounds for Winter!
kinda got a Mike Oldfield Vibe going ....excellent have listen to this quite a bit
Interesting combination of musical sounds
Crazily inventive! Great stuff, CV!
Interesting. Not familiar with Lainhart. Will have to check out his work
I didn't hear Mary had a little lamb. Oh it's at 2.54
pretty so pretty :)
Yes, why not give it a rest for a while and come back to it later. You may surprise yourself. It's all there, you just need to fine tune it perhaps.
Very inspiring, guys!

Such a huge expanse is painted here!
A cool microtonal experimental piece!
This is beautiful!

I really like how unusual this sounds
beautiful in its sadness
really well done!
this may be long, but it isn't empty. I really, really like this one!
it opens like a hurdy-gurdy! Your layering is so orchestral - wonderful work
This is cooler - the SE-02 seems to be quite a nice synth~!
love the runs in this piece! Very powerful!
awesome!!!
I'm in awe of how you make these pieces every week. This is excellent contemporary classical music. I agree with Bill, beautiful ending!

Lola has my respect. What synth was slept on?
Its why they fly in cris-cross patterns!
