generative ambient
Angstrom - thanks for posting those - fun stuff!
To anyone who is interested, the latest episode of my podcast is up, which is based around these two tracks of Roberts plus some re-interpretation of my own. Only 25:08, but not something to operate heavy equipment to.

Robert would you be up for posting up even a basic generative file - i cant get my head around how this stuff works.. would be ace to see somthing very simple from you so ic an rip apart and build on up!!Robert Henke wrote:..more:
http://www.monolake.de/audiofiles/gener ... 072006.mp3
-six session tracks, mostly with this structure in each track:
-some clips with random follow actions and different settings of FA time and quantise
-Random>Scale>Chord>Operator>EQ>Reverb>Beat Repeat
-one send with Filter Deleay
-master with EQ>CompressorII>Saturator all massively compressed and pumping.
and then launch first scene and go drink some coffee while recording the result into track seven in session view. afterwards opening file in iTunes, convert to mp3, upload and write this text.
okay, forgot to mention i made this with my laptop using the build in speakers. might sound like crap over a PA....
enjoy anyway.

// as soon as Live 6 is in public beta i will make the sets public also.
thx for postingAngstrom wrote:I may as well post these again from the 'matrix' thread. None of these us any kind of sample or midi, but you do have to press play to make the beat repeaters work.

I have more of this sort of stuff, it's music for when I dont feel like making music!

Hey,
thanks guys
I think the first one is the most obviously generative - as it changes most, although the others to mutate a bit if you leave them alone long enough.
As you seem to like them so much I've put another one up. This one is my current favourite, it is much more random yet still seems to be melodic and entertaining.

it takes a little while to get itself together because of all the feedbacks between things. It only seems to be a 'song' after about a minute !
definitely my favourite

well, since you ask.
the broadband noise produced by the vinyl and saturator combo is turned into a 16th note click every 1 bar by the 'Tap' channel. Each of the Chords and the bong noises use that as a trigger - to stop them all sounding evey single bar they use a beat repeat, each beat repeat is set so that there is a % chance that each chord will sound.
Now that each chord is sending probably on its own it gets sent to the BRP channel, what that does is send the incoming chord into 3 channels of further beat repeaters. The reason these 3 are on 3 different channels is because they are set on 'gate' which means they will only let a note out when the trigger happens - otherwise nothing comes though. If they were all on the same channel the cumulative gate cutoffs would make nothing come out - as they would all silence each other!
Time1 sends back into the delay which filters then passes back to the BRP return producing a feedback loop.
The BRP return actually includes a reverb so that when the various beatrepeaters trigger they are generally presenting parts of chopped up reverb.
ah, yes, definitely better than SSH terminals.
Could you post more or even PM me , the Tangerine Dream type one is amazing, this is such a fantastic idea, not even any clips!Angstrom wrote:I may as well post these again from the 'matrix' thread.

Amazing. I've just had this running in the background at work for twenty minutes!
Must search and find that matrix thread...
