OTHER MUSIC / loopool's Visible Spectrum Scale Project - Comp Call
« Last post by loopool on June 04, 2013, 12:19:47 am »


COMPILATION CALL:
A call to artists who are willing to take up the challenge of working with alternate tunings, loopool & Welcome to the 21st Records are hosting a compilation of works based exclusively on this visible spectrum tuning.  Several sf2. soundfonts have been provided with instruments already in this tuning but feel free to create your own with the chart provided below.  A graphic score and moving graphic score have also been provided should you like to work with these as a starting point (optional). Submission details can be found at http://www.loopool.org
http://www.welcometothe21st.bandcamp.com

the LOOPOOL Visible Spectrum Scale Project
Starting with the average frequencies of the visible light spectrum then using the center of these frequency ranges for each color as a starting point and pitching them down, a hexatonic scale has been created, roughly corresponding to: F#, D#, C#, C, B, A. These frequencies have been given MIDI note assignments and the 8 octaves spread across the 52 white keys of the keyboard (black keys are not used).

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: Nord Modular/Modular G2
« Last post by analogue01 on June 02, 2013, 09:18:57 am »
Player looks good!

I'm building a very small analog modular system, but not as something to replace my Nord.

The great thing about modular is being able to design a system unique to ones needs, with a versatility that all the small analog monosynths on the market can't offer. And eurorack, if you don't get out of control, can actually be quite small and economical in terms of space. Plus there are so many cool companies right now doing amazing creative things in with eurorack.

The Nord of course has everything in the box and lets you do things like instant polyphony and lets one use multiple instances of obscure modules that no one would ever put in a real system. But I think it should be thought of as the versatile digital synth that it is and not something that stands-in for an analog system.

COMPUTER MUSIC / some notes about the computer music generated by a code
« Last post by V4W.ENKO on May 31, 2013, 04:07:24 pm »
The codes of generative music could play the key roll of composition in music as well as a human can controll the codes of key.
 
Some notes about the computer music generated from a code:
Starting point is abstract - the end terminates saddenly.

The algorithmic music is only the fragment of time with no beginning and no end but with some borders when the speakers are turned on and off.

"In formation" - term could be used when the process of forming some structure is in process. “Information” is a sequence structure of symbols that can be interpreted as a message. Music could be a time sequence of sounds that can be interpreted as a composition. If the density of information is increased then the cells of time should work with a wider amount of data. If symbols of the sequence are constant then the algorithm of forming would be transformed. The evolution of the “formation” adopts the quality of the “information”

Some examples of flowing data of the information are represented in this two tracks. [both of them are generated from the abstract data movement and transformed in two different characters of the sound. Human plays the role of creator of the seed only. Only to make the athmosphere for sound to be grown by themself]

Sound of data stream - is the main goal of this work when the flowing stream of information could form the sound stream in real time by algorithmicaly generating the sound from the movement of data.


V4W.ENKO - "In Formation"
Audio CDr release is out at FF`Space,
contains printed card






See, listen exerpt and get the release here:





Each order of the CDr will provide the copy of lossless download of sounds and bonus collection of visual static graphics on the customer`s account of the label`s site.

wellcome to FF`Space! - the big hope of E-creative music.

SELF PROMOTION / Mono-log.org now has a player
« Last post by moize on May 31, 2013, 05:37:24 am »
Hi all

A small but exciting addition to the www.mono-log.org website…it finally has a player.

You can know listen to all 423 (so far) uploads creating mainly on the Nord Modular G1 (and the occasional old odd box or two) without having to get up out of your chair to change the browser…ahh but then thinking, don't we all listen to music while sat at our computer anyway??? ;)

Still, it is a feature many of you have mentioned over the time mono-log has been running, so hopefully it will be a popular one.

You can try out the test version here: www.mono-log.org/_player

Thanks

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Re: Nord Modular/Modular G2

Hey Pug

Oddly enough I have never actually compared a patch in the Nord G1 to its real equivalent. I feel that's a dangerous road to go down when thinking of the bank balance haha…I will almost certainly mention it to Lucia…get us thinking.

I think my interest is knowing how incredibly high and clean the frequencies can go with analogue, something that the G1 although good, just doesn't make me shiver in quite the same way. It would be good to explore that sound, perhaps re-creating a patch in an analogue system, and taking the time to judge reactions of random people when playing them.

I have always felt the real modular systems, specifically the Doepfer, always sound electronic, and by that I mean actual electrical sound as apposed to the genre. I have heard, albiet online, the more expensive systems, and felt they have less this feeling of electrical signals. Perhaps it is just me.

Polr, Taylor's release, one of my all time favourites, has a hint of this edgy, slightly scary electrical sound, like it might accidentally have blown a few tweeters in it's creation haha. I really like that, and as much as I love the G1, for it's own sound is truly just that, it would be nice to hear it compared to real modules.

Having said that, a dusty MS20 can't be bad :D

Your selling your G2 and keeping your G1, know you have to tell me more about this decision. I have never used the G2, but hear they do differ in sound a fair bit, but your going to sell it?

I am sure I will keep my G1, even if I do get a G2 in the future (££ depending), although I was eyeing the G1 keyboard the other day…I think it looks amazing, and I know I would use it even more if it looked that tasty, plus having a keyboard version would be a good addition and change the patching that little bit.

On a side note, my blog now has a player. It's in testing phase at the moment, and it probably needs a shuffle function, but you can know listen to the uploads without having to get up and change the record…coughcough…I mean browser page each time. :)

(I think I will be adding up a patch in Doepfer world this weekend…what have you done to me ha )

On another note, I keep seeing images of your's and others growing modular set-ups, me and Lucia are always so tempted to start on that road…£££ though :)

hello martin!

loved the idea of a real system, but I desisted months ago. I´m  happy with my G1 (right now I´m selling my G2 Engine...not using it).

As a long time NM user, I´m curious about real modulars "compared" with NM architecture (mainly in modules, it´s obvious the real ones sound better!).

years ago, liked the idea of a basic system, because my nm patches are super simple, but when comparing some of them with the real thing (using a basic doepfer config, not expensive modules: dual osc, env, lfo, filter, mult, mixer) the whole thing was almost 1500-1700€ including the case + power unit...so I decided to save my euros and keep my dusty ms20 :)

I´d love to know about the real ones!

best,
pug
