Sonus
I have some music on Sonus, the listening site of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community. There is some marvelous music here and there in the archives.
2010 International Computer Music Conference
I submitted a piece-and-paper (Five Fixed Points), a piece (Contextual Changes), and a 1 minute piece (Two Dualities, for the 60 x 60:360 Degrees program curated by Robert Voisey). Two Dualities was accepted and is in the Crimson Mix of 360 Degrees. All three pieces follow.
Five Fixed Points
A suite of soundfiles, each composed by interpreting the attractor of an iterated function systems (IFS) as a grid of sound grains. Each IFS was evolved visually using Apophysis. The paper about this piece is here.
Contextual Changes
Drones in just intonation. The chord progressions are generated by a Lindenmayer system moving a score writing turtle through a 4 dimensional chord space by means of neo-Riemannian transformations in the Generalized Contextual Group of Fiore and Satyendra. The score was realized using Csound.
Two Dualities
This piece was generated using CsoundAC with a Lindenmayer system moving a score writing turtle through a 4 dimensional chord space by means of neo-Riemannian transformations in the Generalized Contextual Group of Fiore and Satyendra. The score was realized using Csound with the Pianoteq physically modeled piano plugin, tweaked by me to model a carbon fiber piano of distended size.
More recent pieces come first…
mkg-2009-09-14-o.py.mp3
Another Lindenmayer system using operations in chord space decomposed into set type, transposition, and octave permutation. The sounds are designed with delays, waveshaping, and other nonlinear effects for phasing partials. The scale is adjusted from equal temperament to just intonation in G#.
06_drone.py.mp3
A drone inspired by La Monte Young but realized digitally, using Chebyshev waveshaping and digital reverberation.
09_mkg-2007-02-18-b.py.master.mp3
A Lindenmayer system using operations in chord space decomposed into set type, transposition, and octave permutation.
05-csound-2005-03-06–03.38.19.py.mp3
This was composed using the measures from a musical dice game perhaps by Mozart, treated as cells to be played as in Terry Riley’s In C.
