oh thank you, this is great! Listening to it now at generative.fm great music from such a simple idea, as thrilling as it is depressing. Thrillpressing. |

oh, not really. he cites four million possible variations. from that, aphex picked a select few, in a particular order. what are the odds of the software doing the same? one over more molecules than there are in the universe also, his doesn't have the feels of sound rumbling around a real piano, and birds off in the distance, and but, yes, i love it. i just feel afx will love it too and hire software to write all his music from now. i mean, heck, saw II was mostly written by a samoan amiga software developer |

I think Aphex is a sucker if he's not using this kind of system to generate phrases in piece so amenable to algorithmability. I can see him maybe using something with dice to achieve similar effects when composing. This goes back a long ways... I was recently reading that you can use to compose. |

obviously, what's required is that aphex run this software through his disklavier on a nice spring day, as it swings on a giant pendulum. post to youtube; aisatsana ten hours |

though it's been years since i've used VSTs, i recall recommending a couple times here, over the last few years. it has a "breed patch" feature. you pick a mother patch, a father patch, and set a slider for level of mutation. it has incredibly nosebleed modulation possibilities; fm, subtractive, a mix, whatever. i got to know its presets extremely well. i remember having a noise in my head and i'd know which presets to pick and how far to drag the mutation slider; in under a minute i'd have almost exactly what i wanted. only minor fine-tuning necessary. it always made a mess with panning the voices and oscillators that i had to clean up |

then i got into hardware and sampling and youtube provided a strange analogue; i'd put my feelings into a word or two, type them into youtube, and find viable things to sample amongst the results. i called it youtube scrying with half seriousness |

heck, tho, that's been around for ages. guy mentions eno in his article... but, after crystal, i was quite into a SCI prophet VS i had. you'd hold enter, 2, and it would generate a patch with random parameters. the most charming thing was that the patch name was also randomized, and it had a vague correlation to the parameters of the random patch, sort of like a hash. it got to the point where i'd enter-2, enter-2, enter-2, only stopping to listen when the randomly generated patch name was the right... i dunno, genre. because it sort of wound up being a few distinct clusters; a couple different styles of letter salad that i learned to recognize as distinct. still curious what the actual mapping was |

That's cool as shit. I always lusted after owning a Prophet VS. Also I think we talked about this exact thing at some point several years ago so now I'm getting a wash of nostalja-vu. |

yes, i've totally posted about both the Prophet VS patch gen and Crystal here before, possibly more than once. when google site search wasn't trash, i'd just google my old posts and link these things... but, now that's only worth it when it's something i can't just type up again perhaps, rewriting will lead to more incidents like this; color the xltronic hive mind |

Seems similar to the patches I use for sleep music, very nice. |
