here's a track i've been working on recently for part of a
college assignment. we were studying 'machine music' (i.e.
kraftwerk)

i've tried to focus more on using natural note frequencies
rather than midi note values. you might see what i mean, you
might not, either way enjoy!

natural note frequencies.. you mean that scale of resonating
notes when there's really just one note playing or
something?

it's a great track, but a larger part of it could be like it
is towards the end when it "fills in" more with the new
sound...

I listened to it once.. Im dead tired so I cant really say
anything constructive right now, I enjoyed it though, liked
the mix. Ill have a listen to this track tomorrow morning,
maybe I can come up with something brilliant to say then.
Good ´job good night.

using frequencies of the notes of the natural scale, instead
of the tempered scale.

i see what you mean about the second half, but i kind of
like the distinction between the two halves.

thank you for listening, and you, and you.

how'd you make that sound at the beginning, the wet clinky
ice sound? is that a sample?

otherwise, fun to listen to but a style that isn't my thing.

using a spread of different pitched clavi (wooden blocks)
hits, with some chorus delay - basically.

cheers for listening. i can't imagine it being suited to
many usual listening tastes.

natural scale.. I'm kind of interested in stuff like this,
but.. I think it may be some difference in terms... when I
say "naturtoneskalaen" (which translates as "the natural
tone scale"), it's about that scale that is, like, when you
press the C0 on a piano, you also have the C1, G1, C2, E2,
G2, bB2 (etc etc, can't remember them all) sounding on top
as resonance... I thought you were doing something like
certain woodwind instruments do where there's only one tone
and you modulate the resonance or something.. I'm not sure
I've understood all of this correctly, but.. can you
elaborate on what you mean with the natural tone scale?

this is excellent. it's going on the ipod. excellent work,
jack.

i love what happens to the hi-hat-ish sound, and especially
how its pattern is repeated.

oh no, that's overtones.

i'm sorry, i'm absolutely knackered and using the word
natural is very confusing when it comes to music. you're
right that is the natural harmonic scale (fundamental,
octave, 5th, octave, 3rd, etc...). infact, i think i've
confused myself.

tempered tuning (like on a piano) takes the interval of an
octave, say A5 (440Hz) to A6 (880Hz) and divides it into the
11 (or 12 including the A) notes found inbetween. However,
these values differ from the natural frequencies of notes.

e.g. in tempered tuning Db6 (major 3rd) = 554.36
Hz and E6 (perfect 5th) = 659.25Hz, but in natural tuning
these values are 550 and 660, respectively.

i think i've managed to get to the end without confusing my
sleep deprived brain.
