30 Final boss

I really wanted to get a stronger result with risset rhythms, instead I've ended up with this god forsaken Franken-patch, but it is sort of doing what I want it to. In brief I did this:

- I dissected the glissando max for live patch from a few days ago away from ableton M4l in just standalone max.
- I broke up what was previously a poly~ object into multiple audio outs.
- Set each of the math operations controlling the poly~ object to receive audio input from multiple groove~ objects each playing the same buffer.
- Mapped the pitch math to control a sig~ object controlling play back speed of each groove.

I know that image doesn't really capture whats going on, but basically there are four copies of the maths operations each managing a seperate groove~. Their level is proportional to their tempo and pitch (the red patch lead) and they are all commencing at different tempi/pitch/loudness. The intent is to create an eternal accelerando.

I also used a drum break that was used in a demonstration of risset rhythms from Dan Stowel's Paper, this worked HEAPS better than jongly.aif

Have a listen here:


On Monday I'll be going through and commenting on everyone's stuff. Grats to all of you, you amazing people. Have a brilliant weekend!

Love,

last post: another phase experiment

You guys.

We did an amazing thing. I'm going to miss this. Part of me wants it to keep going... but I have some finals and doctoral apps to attend to! It's been nice ignoring those things and prioritizing creating!

I meant to make something nice and fun for my last post, here in Manhattan where it's the last hours of November, but instead I made a 3 hr long going out of phase thing, prompted by the ugly feelings I have when I look at photos of myself-- It's a state of mind, more than a piece, and it's not exactly a positive state of mind. It's called, "how i feel about my body," and I'm not quite satisfied with it, but it has some good moments, particularly the beginning, the minute starting at 2hrs:31min, and the long fade at the end.

I want to make a happier version of a long ambient-mood-tape!

So much love, and until next time,
Christine

Two Madrigals - last post

It's getting close to midnight on the 30th of November, here in New York. I've enjoyed this process so much, there's a part of me that wants to do it again right away, but that part of me is drunk with power and needs to go to bed for a while. Thank you all for making this webpage a pleasure to visit, and for producing so much excellent music. March 2018, anyone?
