01 Divide by primes
Today I made Ableton divide a Dr Dre. kick sample by every prime number ascending then descending between 1 and 1000. Things got really whacked around 600-800 (around 1:05). I have no idea why.
- I'm interested in the scale that emerges as rhythms become pitches.
- Twin primes (primes that are separated by 2, such 41, 43 or 809, 811) create "markers" in the scale as their pitch is almost indistinguishable.
peace,

Cool idea! I love the scale it produces - very clear microtones... would be interesting to use them as a set and work from there, although I can't imagine that any non-digital instrument could play them so precisely.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious/disturbed as to why those crazy chords appear and disappear between 1:06-1:10. Very cool!
Awesome. I can't really describe how it made me feel. I think it made me feel like a balloon. Loved it.
ReplyDeletethis is so rad. love the distortion! so metal! it defies expectation in a way that's very cool :)
