Generative/Procedural music (Page 2 of 4)

Hum, this sounds cool. I find it interesting/ironic that Themistocles was the first to submit. I wonder, how much of the music do you want to be procedural? Because, TBH, procedural accents in the music is actually cool as long as it's accompanied by actual composition. Think Planet Boelex, with his little clips, beeps, blups, and glitches that kinda run in the background and add texture. I'm pretty sure he does those procedurally, while the rest is obviously composed.

I think that like circuit/data/soft bending, generative music is all about the randomness but there's no denying that there is some musician influence, only in the initiation. Even with field recordings, there's always human initiation in that you decided to press the record button at certain time. The point is that you select an algorithm to write the music instead of yourself or another person.

For my generative music I usually use Tim Thompson's Muse-O-Matic and Gif Jam MIDI algorithms. Anyway, I'm glad to see that this is still on. Where do I send my final track? Any limits on length, file size, etc?

I'd like to do something using Pd + Arduinoboy.

sounds neat but have no idea where to even make something like this....

I might contribute something using databent GB roms, had some interesting results (and a lot of tedious trial and error)...

You guys forgot to page me about this!
