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).

A very slow piece built by two different synth sequences inspired from trial/error development/build of an electrical synth circuit I began in late 2023 created by Moritz Klein. I have recently after several attempts gotten it to work to the…
something made in thumbjam -0- I had deleted all the saved songs from my thumbjam memory and reinstalled thumbjam 000 it was occupying about 15 gigs of space for the music I had already downloaded 000 this is a fresh start ,.. I may have to reinstall…
I'm working on a new album of electronic pieces with modular synths and Pure Data and possibly some electro-acoustic, electro mechanical. This one will be in the mix.
It was a few strange April days in our little town of Bad Münder. The sky was low and completely filled (with clouds?), and a yellowish light spread as if from below, and from everywhere. Irene had said at the time that it must have been the wind…
Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…
A Richard Serra memorial performance by the tribe inside the Serra sculpture Vortex at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum. A passerby provided some vocals.
Inspiration was seeing Kavin Allenson's pictures from his jam in the Fort Worth sculpture Vortex. I wasn't going to do in Pure Data but I opened PD to setup a base structure of oscillators to use to tune one of my modules. I got a stuck note…
got to listen to this today - it is excellent - I like how you layered and peeled back the layers to close. I a big fan of happy accidents and I'm glad you found this one!
I like the development in this. Nice work - you always pull out the unexpected from the synths you work with regardless of the format. I would not have guessed this to be Animoog!
from the album "FULL MINGO"

pain in my heart
it's probably nothing
song in my head
it's time to say something
living this life
it's got to be all
the time
chasing the dream
and i'm always…
This is interesting - there is this hint of Debussy in the chords and melodies (especially in the first half) but they come across in an Ivesian fashion - as though through shattered glass. Thank you for another fantastic piece !

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!

Impressive that you built the circuit by trail and error - beside the evocative music you've created!
this is cool! I like the mix of classical and electronic here!
this is a wonderful study in contrasts - I am looking forward to your album - the opening theme is quite an ear worm!
WIld! Strange synchronicity emerges!
very excellent work! Thank you for sharing!
Nice narration Brit! The Dobro is a nice accompaniment for the vibe of the book.
cool work Kavin! - I like the feedback especially!
This is great!
Nice one!
One of your best compositions. It’s a strangely compelling story with the protagonist worthy of a Darwin Award.
Quite like this! - has such a nice sense of space and clear timbre definition.
I really liked this - the female voice really hit home - nice jam! Is she the passerby?

lofi and exotic - what not to like?
Another great piece!

This is a really nice composition!
