Tintinnalogia: A 17th-century technique for generative music

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Introducing my second sequencer for the Disting NT: Tintinnalogia. This Lua script (written with Claude) is an implementation of 'change ringing.' Invented in 17C England, change ringing is essentially a procedure for ringing church bells. It’s an early example of algorithmic composition, and is also proto-minimalist in its emphasis on a fixed, deterministic process. So...perfect for music-making on the modular!

All Tintinnalogia needs is a sample player with multiple trigger inputs: eg ALM Squid Salmple, Bitbox, or Disting’s own Sample Player.

Random thought: if the number of bells could be increased to 12, the script could be a twelve-tone serialism machine!

Katherine Hunt, 'The Art of Changes: Bell-Ringing, Anagrams, and the Culture of Combination in Seventeenth-Century England,' Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (2018): connects change ringing to 'mathematical recreations' and to Early Modern ars combinatoria such as anagrams. If there was a meaning to change ringing, it was the 'exhaustion of meaning.'

Margaret Aston, Broken Idols of the English Reformation (2015): specifically, the chapter on bells.

Robert Adam Hill, 'The Reformation of the Bells in Early Modern England' (PhD thesis, 2012): dispels the assumption that bells lost their earlier, sacred meanings in the era of change ringing.

Ambient Engine – Preset Demo: SineForest

video upload by atnr

Ambient Engine was featured in this previous video by atnr.

"This sound is generated using a single preset [ SineForest ] in Ambient Engine.
No DAW, no performance, recorded in one take.

This preset uses sine wave samples at C3, C4, C5, and C7.

"What you can do with Ambient Engine

Ambient Engine is designed not just for 'making songs' but as a 'device that continuously generates sound.'

Load samples
Adjust the playback range and density
Add fluctuations with modulation
Record in real time
Even without playing, the sound continues to change autonomously according to the parameter settings.

Import sounds recorded with your smartphone and instantly create your own ambient music."

Self Playing Patches by BENGE

video upload by Memetune Studio

"This series of studies explores an idea that Benge has been working on over the past year or so, namely that of Cybersynthesis. This involves programming self-contained patches on various modular systems which, once set in motion, will produce dynamic, evolving soundscapes, sometimes purely abstract in nature, at other times veering towards the more melodious

Many different methods were deployed in the patches, depending on the system being used, but normally multiple sequencer and switching devices were combined to give varying degrees of control over long time periods, often without repetition

Other things like random control signals and semi-random events were combined with the sequencers and switching units to bring variation to the performances the machines were making

The key idea at the heart of Cybernetics is the concept of bringing control to chaotic processes. To do this, some kind of feedback loop would ideally be established that can monitor and limit events that might otherwise spin out of control. The Serge and Modcan systems featured here each have various comparator circuits that can, to a certain extent, achieve this highly advanced synthesis feature

In the absence of such sensor paths, it is sometimes possible to use audio or voltage mixers and feedback chains to set various parameters to be on the very edge of chaotic behaviour, an approach used in many of the patches on display here

Other techniques such as the quantisation of voltages and the forcing of notes to play within certain predetermined musical scales were also employed in some of the pieces, which is another way of taming chaotic elements into into a more musical realm

Overall, a wholly experimental approach was applied to the various setups, with the intention of providing an insight into how these machines can behave. Of course, each system has an almost limitless depth to the complexity of patches available, and each track on the album provides just a single snapshot of each instrument used. But hopefully it provides an interesting glimpse into the wonders that these self-playing systems can achieve

01 - Buchla 100 and EMS VCS3
