Ode on Solitude

This past Friday, I had another debut of a piece, Ode on Solitude for soprano and viola, performed by Laura Anderson and Polly Malan.

Unfortunately, the church where it was performed wasn’t set up for recording, and we couldn’t get the portable rig set up in time.

Hopefully there will be another performance in the near future.

Here’s my first real “piece” made programming in LISP

NOTE-SEX-AND-SOCIETY

Here are the rules of note society:
- A note lives for 20 repetitions
- It begins life with a volume of 127, and decreases by 6 each repetition
- If two notes happen at the same time they will breed if their durations are different
- A new baby note has a pitch based on the addition or difference tones of its parents
