There are tracks that I will upload that represent a transitional music phase of integrating pure data into my music creating process that has happened overthe years. These tracks employee a single pure data patch, that generates music for maybe just one instrument, trigger samples or orchestrates the drum machines. These past tracks can be relative to my current endeavor and I have uploaded a few of them to soundcloud. To get things started these tracks were the first songs that I uploaded to my Soundcloud KicKRaTT account.
Chrysalis
This skin, it cages me. I long to be free. To escape this puzzle of bone and flesh. Time and space. Birth to death. Death in chrysalis will be to live once again.
Chrysalis, a metaphorical personification in audio. To paint a picture with sound.
Chrysalis is an algorithm performance generating midi notes converted to voltages for the high frequency modular synth oscillator noise (representing the cocoon). The algorithm also generates the notes for the low-end piano tremors, a Roland MKS piano module (the butterfly wrestling about inside). Generated notes play the Roland JX10 (the improvisational butterfly leaving the cocoon). There is a lot of live mixing here that directs the high frequency audio but otherwise a totally generated performance.
This 2004 recording is one of my first completely generated algorithm compositions.
COIL 2012 : A puredata patch that generates the drums, percussion rhythms & sequenced samples of our parrot (African Grey). I accompany the pure data patch, with a performance using a sequential circuits pro-one (drone performance), a layered Novation supernova & Waldorf micro Q and bass guitar.
