back at the beginning of the year, in january or so, i posted an album of generative stuff made with a max/msp patch which a few people listened to. this morning i woke and fiddled with the patch and made it a bit more 'dancey' i guess but also unpredictable. you can listen to an album of that stuff |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah this is good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks m8 |

|
these are pretty interesting, they sound like they're in the process of being workshopped into something I like niootsej does the patch have realtime control? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I put them on random play, as one does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah every single element is controllable, you can bypass the generation process and just compose normally and then add randomisation elements if you like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or generate something and then tweak it. |
||||||||

Really enjoying these. The one Danza mentioned is actually one of my lesser favourites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So is this integrated with Ableton? Or just Max standalone? I'm wondering how you represent and tweak the data, or enter it from scratch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If IDM is composing itself, does that mean we've reached The Singularityâ„¢? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(these are pretty cool, by the way) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
zero ableton integration. It's got no user friendlyness at the moment. heres some info for you |

fucks sake |

thanks 4 the tech info, its all midi so u can swap out the instruments easily, yes?? (i don't know max/msp very well) totally addictive generating tunes like this, i find; its like 'one more go'!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are u doing the instruments in msp too?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes exactly, just sends 6 channels of midi out of Max and in to wherever you have your instruments. In my case they were all on iPad for this but I could've sent them to some of my max synths if I wanted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How did you do the fm stuff? Which korg synth was that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening now. i'd be well tempted to generate melodies (which i struggled with when i was last makimg tracks) and then fuzzy them with field recorded stuff / found sounds in wavelab or whatever. liking what i hear though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thatll be Chiang Mai, part of korg gadget. belb, I made a similar patch that manipulated samples years back, I'll have a look for it and see if I can do some tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds good mengbro! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are there gates/duration on any of those instrument or just on/off on a stepsequenece step style? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm tryna figure out the patch, whilst admitedly slightly drunk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most fun i've had all day hah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
personally i think generative/random remix systems are great as long as they always give u the data in some format that can be precisely edited at the end. Get so many fun tunes out of these systems and then you want to string them together, or go in and change a single pitch somewhere, it's not happening. Although here it could because u could record the midi, but the setup is still 4 sheets to the wind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But i suppose that is a lot of perceived romance of generative things - that it is 'in the monent', one off, ... well yeah, but I want to edit stuff too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BUt if u make a track in the moment and record it and it's perfect, how is that any different...??? GAH... Heh... uknow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good informations, thanks for the diagrams Indy! |

|
|
incedibly deep harmonies in there, makes me wonder its made by a machine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funny sounds in track 9, made me smile |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Track titles are randomly generated, 8 characters for one version of the patch, 16 characters for the other, older version. The album alternates between the two. They're from the seed generator I started to make for the patch so you could repeat songs but ended up not using. The album title has the word pareidolia in it, every other character. |
