Sneaky Preview

Posted on by

Here are two tunes that I’ve been working on with Kyma this term:

Raindrops
Processing

They are both aleatoric computer pieces… which is to say computer pieces that involve a random number generator.

But “aleatoric” sounds cooler.

  1. Those are really nice, bro. So what are they previews for? For longer pieces? Are they sections of future pieces? Are they part of a larger collection? Can’t wait for more.

    Seriously.

  2. Gee,

    I’m not sure what they’re previews of.

    Basically this quarter was about learn all this new soft- and hardware, so next quarter it’ll be rocking.

    Next quarter: independent study in creating Max objects.

  3. So I have this idea for a piece – you can do a mini-opera about vernal pools and the salamander migration and use your raindrops and your frog piece (except you would have to change the sounds to wood frogs). I could write the libretto :) Can you tell spring is coming here? While we haven’t had “Big night” yet, there have already been reports of salamanders and wood frogs on the move.

  4. Not a bad idea.

    Though maybe the computer music backing poems would sound better… that way one wouldn’t have to worry about setting lyrics.
