Day 5 - Silent Visual Track with Hydra (Js Livecoding Environment)

IllestPreacha — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 07:07:32 +0000

For the 5th day, decided to let the animation be the soundtrack for the audience to decide. This time inside of using Sonic Pi, I decided to use Hydra :

Which is built upon JavaScript and can be tried on the following link:

Github: https://github.com/ojack/hydra

As described by creator Olivia Jack (https://twitter.com/_ojack_?lang=en):

Set of tools for livecoding networked visuals. Inspired by analog modular synthesizers, these tools are an exploration into using streaming over the web for routing video sources and outputs in realtime.

Hydra uses multiple framebuffers to allow dynamically mixing, compositing, and collaborating between connected browser-visual-streams. Coordinate and color transforms can be applied to each output via chained functions.

Day 4 of Jamuary - Using Euclidean Rhythms

Using Sonic Pi Again to make algorithmic composition, using certain Euclidean Rhythms to provide a more world type field : https://youtu.be/T6QSe9fuGyw?t=252

Euclidean Rhythms As stated in the Abstract of the Paper , The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms Godfried Toussaint

The Euclidean algorithm (which comes down to us from Euclid’s Elements) computes the greatest common divisor of two given integers. It is shown here that the structure of the Euclidean algorithm may be used to generate, very efficiently, a large family of rhythms used as timelines (ostinatos), in sub-Saharan African music in particular, and world music in general. These rhythms, here dubbed Euclidean rhythms,have the property that their onset patterns are distributed as evenly as possible. Euclidean rhythms also find application in nuclear physics accelerators and in computerscience, and are closely related to several
families of words and sequences of interest in the study of the combinatorics of words, such as Euclidean strings, to which the Euclidean rhythms are compared. - Toussaint

Day 3 - Musical Coding with only One Sample

IllestPreacha — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 01:21:34 +0000

For the third day of Jamuary , I am using Sonic Pi again but this time, I am only using one sample. By using different musical concepts within the Code, it maintains nice musical depth.

Day 2 - LiveCoding Session with Heavy Drumming

Day 2 of the Livecoding Music Session with Sonic Pi. Today, I decide to add more drum elements with a little more variance than yesterday's session.

What are some of the creative ways, you implement while writing or within your code?
