Music from numbers

After a lot of late-night experimentation, trials and errors (many errors ; ) i figured a way to program semi-random rhythm and melody progression. Some kind of Brian Eno-ish evolving drones and trip-hop grooves.

It starts with a random number – like a musical seed – and from there it grows into a tree. Hopefully it grows musically interesting, but who knows. It follows certain musical rules … sometimes.

You can randomize new numbers, new pieces. Or put in your own number.

 

Its all still pretty raw and refine-able. Sometimes it stutters and sputters. Sometimes it looses the voice all together.
And sometimes it creates pretty nice sounding “music”.

A proof of concept for me rather than a finished product.
