Sketch 02: Gravity

15.03.21

Second sketch, Gravity.

Gravity, take 13.45 MB

Gravity explores the idea of self-organizing chaos. Because against all odds, creation wants to take place.

In this recording I used Machine One, one of the bands in Flow, who were very happy to go a bit more experimental. ;)

You may hate gravity, but gravity doesn't care.

Gravity, take 23.28 MB

Here's another take of Gravity, again with Machine One. Same virtual band, but very different outcome!

Gravity, take 34.47 MB

And one more take, this time with a totally different Virtual Band: Aka Truth Band, again from Flow.

Sketch 01: Blurred chaos

11.12.19

After Flow, it's time to explore new possibilities for Whole-Play through sketches. Here's the first one, or read on for more info.

Sketch 01: Blurred chaos6.99 MB

Two instruments: the Wrenchspiel (?) and my guitar (in this case a virtual instrument, because I'm traveling and I don't have my real guitar with me).

I wanted to explore:

  • A new feature, blurs (I should write about that sometime)
  • Controlled chaos
  • Non-linear interaction with the improvisation
  • The idea of a dynamic canon

And I know that's all kind of abstract. :) EnJoy!

I'm working on the first proper Whole-Play composer. Wait, that's actually really great news! Yep, time to post something. Here's the sample, or read on for a bit more background on this.

Here are the first few bars of Rajaz, performed by the AkaTruthBand. The name might or not stick. The music will probably end up being something different. Here's how it sounds so far, today.

Melody harmonization

07.11.14

Now that Whole-Play is harmony aware, it's time to give it some useful skills, starting with how to harmonize a melody. For now I'm focusing on adding a single voice. I can certainly add more than one voice but each process is independent, so the results might be a bit unpredictable. Read on and hear my initial explorations...

A keen drummer

10.06.14

A little while ago I decided to stop working on the drummer and move on to the bass player (which is a lot of fun, btw!). The drummer doesn't do everything I want, of course, but it's starting to groove and do some nice things. If this was a band, it would be a beginner, but very keen. That said, it's super precise with timing and dynamic control, so I guess not a beginner drummer after all... ;) Read on if you want more details.
