N’TO – Clé des Champs

I used my strategy to code some of Clé des Champs. This is the track Code: use_bpm 113 chords = [(chord :Bb, :minor), (chord :F, :major)].ring c = chords[0] # take the first chord of the ring and save it to a variable s=1 live_loop :ambiant do sync :rhythm use_octave -2 use_synth :dtri play_pattern c,Continue reading “N’TO – Clé des Champs”

Sonic Pi strategy

Between yesterday and today, I have been experimenting with Sonic Pi to make a nice strategy for the pieces. My initial plan is to emulate a band and it components. Rhythm Just like any band has a mutual timekeeper. I included a virtual one. This module throws in a cue every beat that different componentsContinue reading “Sonic Pi strategy”

Getting hands-on experience with Sonic Pi

Creative programming workshop with Sonic Pi I found a hands-on tutorial for Sonic pi. Here is how it goes. We already covered some of t he poonts by sequentially going through the documentation. Looping We can loop infinitely by: loop do sleep 0.5 play :d4 sleep 0.5 play :e4 sleep 0.5 play :c4 sleep 0.5Continue reading “Getting hands-on experience with Sonic Pi”

Samples in Sonic Pi

I got this from the official tutorial: https://sonic-pi.net/tutorial#section-3 Triggering Samples This is straightforward, type sample :ambi_lunar_land Setting the amplitude and the pan Just like the synths, we can control these parameters in samples sample :ambi_lunar_land, amp:0.8, pan: -0.3 Stretching samples can be squashed and stretched, even played backwards. Or better yet, squashed or stretched andContinue reading “Samples in Sonic Pi”

Synths in Sonic Pi

This is taken from the official documentation of Sonic Pi: https://sonic-pi.net/tutorial#section-2 Playing around with synths is quite different with Sonic Pi. Activating A note Activating a note ca be as simple ,as typi ng play 60 Changing the number controls the pitch. Controlling amplitude and pan amplitude is the computer’s representation of loudness. It’s aContinue reading “Synths in Sonic Pi”

Sonic Pi and Sam Aaron

First let’s look at this ted talk:: In this talk he raised a very nice question: If you are not considering a career in professional writing, why do you even bother in learning how to read or write? Sam Aaron He eloquently linked this particular question to coding. In The talk he showed how SonicContinue reading “Sonic Pi and Sam Aaron”

The importance of my keyboard (now more than ever)

The accident I had three years ago marked me in most aspects of my life. My keyboard is no exception. Here’s how it fits in: Before the car crash I used it as a main way of conveying my ideas. When I wanted to write a proposal. I used the keyboard. When I wanted toContinue reading “The importance of my keyboard (now more than ever)”

Project 1 – Schizophonia

Now that I am done working on the project , here is a Summary Post Development Project definition You are to consider the possible relationships between the aural phenomena associated with all things in particular contexts that you devise. CAEL2041 project 1. ‘Schizophonia’ I talk about this more in this post. Project statement My conceptContinue reading “Project 1 – Schizophonia”

Comments

So I waited a day to get the responses. That way I sort them and look for patterns. The Comments were on Manny fronts, let’s check them out. Looking at this set of comments, I was able to see some kind of split between what I originally meant and what people understood. General I gotContinue reading “Comments”
