Some experiments with delays, shape LFO's and frequency shifting.

Another great one, Jan.

It has a classic electronic music quality to it. It goes though some great changes.

I usually put up a bunch of emoticons at this point, but I'll refrain out of respect to you're not being into them.

Thanks Howard.

It's one of the nice surprises of the G2 that it is capable to make some sound types that were present in the old time electronics (and that I've for a long time wondered about how to do it).

I recorded a few minutes of this one and I'm posting it as an mp3. This is just a "naked" recording right out of the G2 - no processing, gain riding, compression, or reverb. Too bad the LAME mp3 encoder has mangled and muddied the audio. This recording is just to let people see what the noodle "sounds like".

Jan. If you don't care for me doing this, please let me know and I'll take it down.

Here's the same recording at 192 kbs...

Wow. It's so multifaceted, it almost sounds like a modern composition.

Big up for Jan again. thumleft

Is it the LAME encoder or is it related to the sounds in the noodle somehow ? Is one sound better 'encodable' than another, or ?

I use the LAME encoder to rip CDs to my laptop sometimes and didn't really notice it to be particularry bad for the job.

No no, it's OK, thanks (I like 'm all to suffer, having G2's or not :-)

The different encoders do better on some sounds than others. If the sound is complex the encoders seem to "steal" from the high frequencies and from the stereo separation. So, if there is a lot of complex high frequency stuff with subtile phase shifting in stereo, the encoding isn't going to work that well. The 192 kbs is much better than the 96 kbs, or whatever.

Back to the noodle. Yes, this IS a real modern composition. This is a process composition in the style that was big in the 60s with John Cage, Robert Ashley, and the people from the ONCE Festivals (and others). The fact that the details of the music are automatically generated isn't significant, at least to me. The composer creates the sounds and controls the extent and bounderies of all of the parameters.

This is as much composition as kinetic sculpture is art.

One thing that seems to inhibit many people from considering these self-playing patches as "real" compositions is the indeterminacy of the duration. If one adds a little circuit where you push a button to start the noodle and it ends after some predetermined time, then these patches seem to many more acceptable as compositions. I guess our concept of composition has expanded over the years, but we still cling to the essentiality a beginning and an ending.

OK, seems logical.

A good noodle should at least aim to blur the distinction between man and machine :-)

I think you're right and I guess that's why I started http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-2191.html as a structure to embed noodles in.

Unfortunately it seems a bit larger than the G2 can currently handle, that's why I didn't really get on with it ... I ran into trouble on adding content. Some of the paches I embedded wouldn't accept LFOs any more while this should still be posible, resource wise. Even worse, such a patch would then stop all other patches as well.

I hope to able to continue this one day, to be able to blur the distinction mentioned above a bit further.

BTW the bug known to Clavia.

Jan.
