Here’s my first real “piece” made programming in LISP
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
Hey Simon, fancy stuff you got here. I was pretty impressed by this piece. It seems interestingly composed while still feeling spontaneous and semi-random. I really like the idea of notes having children. . . I think it would be great to have a piece like this accompany a flash animation of a similarly random exponential design. Check out http://www.levitated.net/daily for some of this type of stuff. I also really dug がいきょく, I thought the composition was very witty and engaging, and had some good interaction, good brass writing, some nice voicings, and perhaps a programmatic exposition. Cool! Composers For The Win.
-P.S., what does がいきょく mean?
