Create Brian Eno style generative music: 20 ideas and tools for Ableton, Eurorack, DAWless and VCV

Published on Apr 24, 2019 loopop

“Generative Music” is a term coined by Brian Eno to describe music that is always different and changing, generated by a system but led by creative guidelines, rather than typical music which follows a set of predetermined notes intended to be played the same way every time.

This video includes 20 ideas and even more tools for creating generative music inspired by Brian Eno's generative work. It's focused on ideas rather than one platform, and covers eurorack, iOS, VCV and Ableton tools for creating generative and probability based music.

TIMELINE OF IDEAS AND TOOLS:

0:00 Defining Generative

1:05 Simple randomization – Ableton MIDI LFO Max4Live device

2:10 Scaling random pitch – Ableton Random and Scale MIDI effects

2:50 Pitch to modal chords - Harmonaig from Instruo, with arpeggiation by Quaid Megaslope and Boss Bow Tie from ALM playing Rings from Mutable Instruments

Bram Bothers Rozeta Scaler - Work in Progress Videos

Published on Jun 7, 2018 Bram Bos

Playlist:

1. Rozeta Scaler - Work in Progress

Automating the Input Transpose using Rozeta LFO. This will transpose the incoming MIDI up and down, but still keep all notes neatly in key.

2. Rozeta Scaler (scaling an incoming MIDI track) - Work in Progress

Plugin #10 in the Rozeta Sequencer Suite

This plugin will function as a Scale Quantizer / Transposer plugin. It can process any incoming MIDI and quantize it to a user-defined scale + root key. The MIDI stream can be transposed before and/or after being scaled.

Possible uses: making sure you're playing only notes in the right key of your music, transposing/quantizing a MIDI track from another app, experimenting your music sounds in another key etc.

Coming soon.

"The story of working on getting back to live CMI Series III that was used on the truly masterpiece T2 score."

via this auction

"Here is your unique chance to buy a fully restored Fairlight CMI Series III that used on Terminator II: Judgement Day by Brad Fiedel.

"Hello. My name is Andrei Kudryavtsev. If you've been tracking Fairlight sales, you probably saw my other restoration work. All systems that I sell are completely restored and refurbished to the original condition, as much as possible. They are also upgraded to modern standards providing better reliability and usability. This system is not the exception. It's the legendary Fairlight owned by Brad Fiedel and used on T2 score. It took me over a year to finish this build. It arrived to me with a mess of previous repair over last 35 years. Failed parts were replaced by other boards not following versioning and compatibility. It required extensive work to get it up to date to Rev 9 standards which means the final CMI functionality. It's running OS9.34 with all required hardware changes, with 16 voices 32MB sample memory, with SCSI2SD replacing original hard drive, USB2CMI replacing original Preh keyboard, and a VGA monitor. It has fully repainted the CMI mainframe, music keyboard.

Power supply section is brand new. Old switching PSU has been replaced with three modern PSUs, driving clear power rails and dedicated power rail for fans. Cooling section is brand new, replaced all fans with server grade fans and new fan speed controller with a separate zone management and thermal sensors.

All work is carefully documented and available in my Instagram with all dates it was performed.

This system needs a new home, a person who will be using it to make the music and not being distracted by common failures. All of those have been addressed to make your life easier and bring new life into this wonderful machine. I should say a disclaimer anyway, that as is a vintage gear....it may fail any moment...and obviously no return offered. However, I'm offering you my help in learning this great machine, and so you get 10 hours of my time at no charge. You can use it for whatever you want - set up and install online, learning session, tutorials, technical support etc...

Fragmenter Mini - HDMI Video Glitch Processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/f...

The Fragmenter Mini is based on the Extron DSC HD-HD HDMI scaler. It is a compact with a HDMI input and output capable of processing and scaling a HDMI signals from 480i up to 1920x1200, 1080p/60, and 2K.

With this modification I have extended the enclosure with a new 3D printed top shell that accommodates the controls.

There are 32 different bend points, 24 of them controlling the colourise effects and the other 8 controlling the fragment effects. This scaler has a very unique way of processing the image that results in the image being sliced into sections at a 45 degree angle when the fragment effects are applied.

The potentiometers are off in the middle (12 o'clock) when they are panned either left or right they control the intensity of that particular effect.

Each column of potentiometers are connected to a common bus, and each of these common busses can be connected to the column next to it via a momentary push button or a latching toggle switch. A useful feature when preforming visuals to music.

The original front panel buttons are concealed behind the front panel but can still be easily accessed with something like pencil for setting the output resolution. Otherwise they are never needed and dont access any fun parameters anyway."
