"This neat little box was the culmination of my major in Computer Music at CNMA (what was then ACAT). I had demonstrated using SuperCollider that a non-deterministic sequencer was capable of creating contemporary dance music but being a full hardware artist I needed to get the system into a useable form.
The basic concept behind it is that most "classic" dance music is so formulaic it should be easy for a computer to generate. Generating all patterns and sequences from a small set of rules the unit is able to deliver new and original tracks in realtime. The orginal implementation ran autonomously but the tracks lacked the (often criticized as predictable) build up/down structure so critical in forming a flow. Rather than trying to implement such a complex concept in such a simple and elegant piece of code I decided this task should be performed by a human."
I've known about this for years and still no audio clips.

ReplyDeleteHere is a sample I found on the Mungo website.
ReplyDeleteIt is a live set including a yamaha rmx1 and a commodore.So it is hard to tell which sequences are coming from the Infinite Horizons and what is coming from the rmx1 and a4000.Kinda useless I suppose,but I figured I would post it up anyway.
