An exercise in intent... I like some of this dubstep-ish work (Echospace, Deadbeat, some Yagya fits the bill too) and want to understand how it works. First attempt here...
One of a few pieces coming out of post-Winter-break experiments with the new Axiom keyboard. Working with my 7year old daughter, Chloe on the concept of "key" (and a key's appropriate notes) we built up some layers and loops together. Result is a dense textural atmospheric seed piece. It's wonderful and shimmery.
Another new seed... Kinda slow, heavy, trudging, and bit complex...
A new seed piece... few bits and loops stuck together for the moment, awaiting composition. Clicky, upbeat.
Friend-of-a-friend and Flash mastermind Erik Natzke creates staggeringly gorgeous artworks from generative Flash drawing scripts. The intricacy and detail is as impressive as the massive scale and color of the pieces.
Despite my current hand-drawn note-by-note midi processes, generative art's well-guided chaos of expressive tools and technology is an inspiration... The finished work is what I imagine as accompanying visuals for the music.
A selection of his prints are hanging in Adobe's San Francisco office.
Last in this series of spacious, melodic, minimal sketches. Goodbye is a rest, a place of peace and wonder in looking out forward from the end of a decade.
Continued minimal, subtle, piano-driven sketching. Treading on 80's soundtrack-ish-ness here, Vangelis comes to mind...
First in what has become a series of minimal, ambient, soundtrack-esque sketches. Abandoned percussion altogether and working wholly with textures and melodic fragments in space contrasted against raw piano.
A track escaping the complex gravity driving the orbits of Adrift, Away, Doppler. Working toward Lusine ICL and Shuttle358 with this piece.
Drawing inspiration from Carsten Nicolai's work as Alva Noto with Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as Shuttle358. Letting the clickies carry a more rhythmic role here. A lightly-treading track, spliced together from barely-there minimalism.
Super geeky art films made from visualizing otherwise invisible physical phenomena such as audio or magnetic fields, and go further by generating audio from their data. Natural forces become experienced as eerily supernatural and alien.
The organization have done a handful of amazing music videos (Mum's "Green Grass of Tunnel") and insightful documentary pieces but their more indulgent visualizations are truly mesmerizing:
Nice chillaxed piece a la Wolfgang Voigt's GAS project... working on pushing it toward a Yagya esque density.
First sketch... Chippy, melancholic short piece.
Locked in a groove, tied to a system.
Kinda groovy piece. Following on the outer-spacey, alien-ish vibe, distant shimmering fragments of a melody tumble into a good groove.
In theory we can put some static stuff here...
List friends... vulk, tandy, iso50, soundof, nthroot, etc
