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.

Day 1: Scuse me while I pace myself

Hi friends,

Very excited to use the first day of MoM to launch something I've been dreaming about for a month or so:

Infinity for Dinner is an online recipe book for installations you can set up anywhere. It takes advantage of Youtube's loop feature (Ctrl Click and tick 'Loop') to allow audience members to recreate my phase installations wherever they are.

During Month of Music, I am not going to create a new composition or installation every day

*aaawwww*

What I do hope to do is make significant progress every day and list it here. For example, today I have:

• Edited two videos of Slipping Away the first recipe
• Created a facebook page for Infinity for Dinner
• Made edits on the website, like providing a link to the score and example videos

So, during MoM, the three things I will be doing are:

• Coming up with/making Infinity for Dinner ideas
• Showing when significant progress has been made on the few concert pieces I'm working on at the moment
• Showing significant administrative progress towards Infinity for Dinner or my website in general

Something I also plan to do this month is hold installation concert evenings in my room in my parent's backyard. I will call it 'Infinity for Dinner + Dinner' - I will set up one of my installations in my room and serve dinner. I hope to have held three of these concerts by the end of the year. Kurt, Josie, Will and Toby, I'd love you to come!

Variations on The Apricot Tree - I. Theme

First post!

The composer Komitas was one of the 1.5 million who died in the Armenian Genocide. Given the act of terror that occurred in New York a few hours ago, this melody has an added layer of melancholy, aside from the importance it already bears. For this reason, my setting of the theme is simple, only the rhythm having been altered.
This is the start of a set of variations I'm planning on composing, in chunks, over the next four weeks.
