Thumbs-up on running out of space. I see there is some to be had in .ws - well done! This proves the need for more space in cyberspace.
I liked this aahh.
Overall, I found it to be very long lol. But it's length alone fostered time enough to perceive finer details.
On polyann2, at ~30:00, the 'breaks' or gaps were startling.
On polyann3, I liked the 'almost groove' at ~16:30 which was seemed to be firmly established by ~17:20. The manner of the ending was appreciated.
On polyann4, I found some species of 'resolution' @ ~22:45, and I became curious. Since billystiltner said, "it's all pure data," is this pure data alone, with no midi synths, no (real-time piano-type) keyboard input? no by-hand knob-twisting of the mixer output levels? Maybe I have a misconception here of what "all pure data" means? Please bear in mind, I am new here. LOL Additionally, I enjoyed the trash-drums sound @ ~27:15, and noticed desiring a groove @ ~29:40.
bpfb was pleasant and short.
I made no notes on wilsonhenhar or phihhr16step.
On mavilla16, the volume jumps @ ~7:23 caught me by suprise.
On bpfreaky, I noted a highlight @ ~17:30 and liked how a groove-threat was carried all the way from ~21:00 to nearly the very end.
On mohavilla7no, the flute-like or recorder-like sounds were very nice. I thought about tabla as the end came suddenly.
I came to this conclusion: "With this technology, we could have became psychedelic gods in the 1960's"
I liked it.
:)
i found some more space sorry about the loud drum beat, i have messages created for beat number but not loudness yet for a few of my drumloops so i have to turn them down or up . would be nice to make an auto adjust. i'll reply some more later. i'm glad yo listened and that i finally made it over here to see.
its all in pd and i done all the slider twidlin , window switchin, beat loadin, toggle twistin, etc.. with my mouse. its all with my polysynh patch and new sample looper. the polysynth patch can be loaded as multiple instances in another patch but sofar i have only used one instance. there are places in o3 of the tunes where i did play notes on my keyboard along with the fractal sequencer. bpfb short and sweet hahaha! it was all done on the digital typewriter.
i cant wait till i get some more done on it. i can almost see being able to play the stuff i hear in my head, "almost" . i have taken some advice from octavian paul(zynaddsubfx)and added subtle disturbances in pitch with lfo in places. maybe the piano like external sounds heard are the still i dont know if correct phase distortion emulation or simple fm. more later yes 60s is fun n love n peace n spaceshipgrease.
There are some new recordings up, bpdubstomp.wav 2.5 hours, 1.7Gb, pretty wild. Don't have the wobble like I want it but hey it's like raw dubstomp, there are some mellow spots in it too. I coulda done the dubstep drum beats on a drum machine but I don't have my drum machine built yet so it is good to have a sample looper. I cant wait to load 2 or 4 of these synths and get everything modulating everything that can be modulated, as well as make a monosynth as well as a drum machine like in zynaddsubfx, hey luster, who are you? thank you for the comments on my tunes. I get carried away and lost exploring the sounds. The bpdubstomp.wav starts out with the fractal sequencer only controlling the drum loop and the synth midi notes are triggered by a little program called harmony seq, but that wouldnt do so I had to kick on the fractal sequencer for the synth then it finishes up being triggered by the digital typewriter.
I listened.
mohavila7te.phoenixgorf - I like the way it started, interplaying. Aspects were disturbing because when my machines glitch-fail, the sounds are similar. I was reminded of a passage in Godel, Escher, Bach where it was theorized that if it were possible to reproduce faithfully the sound of a high-quality speaker system undergoing destructive dissolution, (i.e., the speakers being destroyed by the signal) the re-creating speakers of the re-playing system must also undergo destructive dissolution. Heh. I loved @~8:14 - it almost made sense! And, I liked how it ended.
helmholtz2 - Glitchy @~3:50. Overall the feel was initially chaotic. Of course, as a part-time, parlor Ante-Neo-Neo-Discordian, I know that this is a good thing. lol At ~10:12, I remembered playing Tempest at a bar while slightly drunk. By ~28:05, I had forgotten about playing Tempest. But not before I remembered Pac-Man. lol And, of course, I had to remember Star Trek, the terminal/text game. lol And I remembered blue boxes and Cap'n Crunch whistles, and 2600 and Phreaking. At ~37:00 things changed. Nice groove @~38:20. At 49:30 there was a startling change. Maybe in equalization? I am hearing stuff here that is not in it. I suspect that I am hearing possibilities here, possibilities of other sounds. At ~52:38 nice relief to a classically dreamy feel. I thought the way it ended had special merit.
"bpdubstomp". Aptly named. It seems compressed. Flat, in a compressed sort of way. Maybe "stomped" would be a good word. The flat loudness seems to cause the piece to appear to display the qualities of a wall. Wall-like lol reminds me of an adobe wall. Or stucco. With interesting items such as bottlecaps, broken-glass fragments, and multicolored feathers embedded within. I liked the change at ~25:00 sounded like a super-charged glockenspiel or marimba. I liked what I took to be "close-up echo" at ~35:40 Echo. It sounded like a very small room resonance--like maybe a high-ceilinged tile-and-steel hallway in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. It was all I could do, to fight the impulse to pause it, fire up Pd, and wander off on my own exploratory travels. So, I'd be justified in saying "inspiring" lol. It gets kind of lyrical at ~48:00. At ~55:30 it felt like a groove was incipient. Nice electronic glitches coming at ~57:30.
I like the atmospherics @ ~1:03 reminded me of ancient science fiction movies from the glory days of that genre. It got pretty quiet at ~1:08 and I liked the section leading up to 1:34. At ~1:54, with the close-up echo again, I like the groove there.
@ 2:00:20 I had to go to the store, lol. Thank god I could pause it. My browser is Iron. Maybe another would work better. There was an abrupt end or sound dropoff @ ~2:24:00? I heard something @ ~2:33:45? but by ~2:35:29, it was definitely fine.
I recalled that I once got an incredible bass drum sound. I hung a large flat sheet of very lightweight aluminum foil vertically from fine thread attached (tiny holes through which the thread was passed once, then knotted with a three-pass overhand knot so as not to pull through the holes) at what I calculated should have been nodal points and struck it with thrown moistened (a bit more than damp, but not dripping) cotton balls. For pickup, I used a very thin piezo bender as a transducer. I amplified it greatly, recorded it, and then speeded it up. It was an awesome drum sound.
What a new horizon we have with Pd and related concepts.
Thanks, billystiltner. I like your work.
:)
thank you, i was doing some banjo fretless fingertapping while playing 22edo in pd with organ like sound this weekend, recording didnt take then I got rained out, keyboard is almost dried out got one day 2 play then it's till next week till I know for sure that I can jam some more.
gone to listen to your new stuff.
Hmm...
22edo...
fretless banjo! ...
finger tapping...
rain...
How was the fretless banjo tuned?
lol
:)
so it sounded good with a 22edo fractal melody
