Will Wright and Brian Eno - Generative Systems

Game designer Will Wright and musician Brian Eno discuss the generative systems used in their respective creative works. This clip features original music by Brian Eno.

-----

Will Wright and Brian Eno on "Playing with Time."

In a dazzling duet Will Wright and Brian Eno give an intense clinic on the joys and techniques of "generative" creation.

Back in the 1970s both speakers got hooked by cellular automata such as Conway's "Game of Life," where just a few simple rules could unleash profoundly unpredictable and infinitely varied dynamic patterns. Cellular automata were the secret ingredient of Wright's genre-busting computer game "SimCity" in 1989. Eno was additionally inspired by Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain," in which two identical 1.8 second tape loops beat against each other out of phase for a riveting 20 minutes. That idea led to Eno's "Music for Airports" (1978), and the genre he named "ambient music" was born.

The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years - The Long Now Foundation"

Making Musical History

Title link takes you to a new article on Bob Moog in the New York Times.

"ONE night in January 1964, Herb Deutsch, an experimental composer from Long Island, and Robert Moog, an electrical engineer from upstate, sat with their wives at a little Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village and excitedly discussed a new idea: What if they created an instrument, a kind of “portable electronic music studio,” on which musicians could compose and perform?

“We were thinking primarily of composers,” Mr. Deutsch, now professor emeritus of music at Hofstra University, recalled a few weeks ago at his home here. “That performance part was not that important to Bob and me.”

That conversation in 1964 begat the Moog synthesizer, which helped launch a music revolution that started with the psychedelic rock stars of the 60’s and — several seismic electronic upheavals later — reached suburbia’s kid-next-door, the one with the Japanese keyboard and the garage band."

Update via the world of next tuesday in the comments:
"In a nutshell Kingsley and Perrey were both in NYC working with electronic music pre-Moog Modular. I believe the label A&R guy thought if they could team up they might put together a great album which was the case, and they subsequently did a second album together after the Moog came out and then parted ways.

For a subsequent project Kingsley came up with the first Moog Quartet concept trying to meet the challenge of playing live, in this case 4 performers on modular moogs. Moog built semi-custom gear for them. One of the members went on to form Hot Butter who had a hit with Popcorn some years later. So even though the recordings were done in the studio I suspect the concept was 4 guys could play it live though there are some non-synth instruments you'd presumably need backup guys playing.

Keith Emerson whom I guess was balking at the prices Moog wanted was offered one of the Quartet's Moogs after they disbanded and Moog's loaner gear was returned, so Emerson accepted Moog's offer to pick up a second hand gear, which I presume was quite useful to him since it had primitive patch switching for live use. So that synth was the first pieces of his modular."

"This is at the moment a page for my earliest work. I use in my studio: a Korg Mono/Poly, and a Powerbook G4. thats it. Pretty limited i know but youd be surprised what can be teased out of such equipment with a little ingenuity. I use Amadeus pro and Reason 2.0 to record, edit, and sequence samples from the mono/poly. I monitor everything through audio technica headphones. My strength is analog synthesis and although the mono/poly isnt modular, its pretty flexible. Trust me, if i could afford a synthi 100 or even an aks, id be in heaven. But given financial circumstances, I work with what i have. Any of you out there who are like minded, (analog synth focused and interested in experimenting) in western mass, and would like to collaborate, let me know. Im always looking for more people to program with. And everyone else just enjoy and leave lots of comments. Im always glad to hear feedback."

Note the tracks are low volume to start but the pick up. Really interesting soundscapes. Matthew wrote in after reading The ELF Generator post:

"I noticed the most recent post deals with the relation of sound and brainwaves. Ive been experimenting with this subject recently. I actually just got a myspace page up and running with some of my earlier work in this area. Check it out, and if you feel so inclined, feel free to post it. All sounds relating to brainwave entrainment are produced with the waveform generators in amadeus pro and everything else is done on a korg mono/poly. Its actually the only synth used in my music as my studio is pretty low budget at the moment."

Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll Cover Featuring Waldorf Synths

via Victor on the-gas-station:

"The first cover we did it was very well appreciated at Cocteau Twins forums and they asked me to do another one. So we did this one, I think it's the best Cocteau Twins song. I used only Waldorf MicroQ for sounds and Waldorf Rack Attack for drums and I mastered the song with Creamware stuff. (Optimaster, PEQ4 and Vinco). Enjoy!"

Title link takes you to the stream. It's an m3u file, not an mp3. It'll play on Winamp or anything else that supports it. I'm a HUGE Cocteau Twins fan. I saw them in 1990, 1994, and again in 1996. This is a great cover and a nice showcase of the Waldorf MicroQ and Rack Attack. You can find more info on the Cocteau Twins here. Part of the fun is trying to figure out what Liz Fraser is actaully singing - everything she sings is actually real words. Dead Can Dance on the other hand was mainly enunciations of jibba jabba. ; ) Still great music though.

"Only 50 ever made - so this is probably the last time you will see one again - this rare beast sounds like a cross between Moog / Oberheim and the Prophet synths and the has the film soundtrack fx side of the VCS3 so is killer for film soundtracks - the Gleeman is in tip top condition and has been recently serviced by a reputable UK company - it comes with mains 110>240v transformer - the total shipping weight is 26kg so email me your area/postal code / country for shipping quotations - I originally paid £2000.00 for the Gleeman Pentaphonic - remember this is one of the very rarest synths out there - you will definately not see another one and it sounds like no other - here is what has been said of the legendary Gleeman Pentaphonic:

The Gleeman Pentaphonic
by Joey Swails (j.swails@comcast.net)

The Gleeman Pentaphonic was introduced in 1981 by the Gleeman company, a partnership of two brothers, Bob and Al Gleeman. They were based (in the grand old Silicon Valley tradition) in their garage in Mountain View, California.

I met Bob Gleeman at the 1982 AES show in Anaheim, while I worked for Don Wehr's Music City in San Francisco. I was blown away by the Pentaphonic's sound; Bob came around the store a soon after, and we became the first authorized Gleeman dealer.

The story goes that the Pentaphonic came about when Bob decided that he wanted a synthesizer like a Prophet-5, but smaller and more portable. His "smarter brother" Al, a computer hardware designer, basically designed the synth from the ground up, working from his brother's description of what a polyphonic synthesizer should do.

It was in actually a digital/analog hybrid -- the filters and amps were based on the same Curtis chips that were used in the Prophet, ARP and Octave machines. The oscillators were digital, as were the ADSRs. The machine was based on the Intel 80186 microprocessor, which was very advanced for it's time. In fact, it used two 80186's -- one for the keyboard/transpose functions, the other for waveform and amplitude control. One thing led to another and they decided to try to market the machine after everyone who heard it told them how great it sounded. They had wanted to call it the "Gleeman Minstrel", since their family name Gleeman means "minstrel." But there was another machine on the market called Minstrel (the Basyn, by Grey Labs), so they settled on "Pentaphonic".

The oscillator section featured 3 oscillators, each with a selection of 8 waveforms. The waveshapes were fixed, in that there was no pulse-width modulation. Instead it offered 3 choices of pulse widths. There were two "digital" waveforms with lots of high, bell-like overtones which had a distinctive, almost FM-like sound when selected.

There was an octave switch on each oscillator (hi/low) and a "chorus" switch that actually detuned oscillators 2 and 3. Interval tuning of the oscillators was not introduced until the programmable version was made, and the intervals were part of the program, selected by pressing keys on the keyboard. There was also a Transpose control that shifted the entire tuning of the machine in half-steps over a one octave range.

It was a standard Prophet-type control set, with one filter ADSR and one volume ADSR. The filter section had the standard cutoff, contour amount and resonance dials. The layout was basically that of a MiniMoog, including an oscillator mixer that included a pink noise control.

One drawback was a lack of a keyboard tracking filter setting, which was explained to e as being impossible due to the way the keyboard controlled the oscillators. Another as that it also lacked a provision for a sustain pedal.

The keyboard system was unique in that it was not based on the same serial-scanning system developed by Tom Oberhiem used by virtually every polyphonic synth, but was rather a parallel port that had an input point for each of the 37 keys. This made for a very fast, responsive keyboard, but made it difficult to derive an analog voltage
to use for filter tracking.

The first Pentaphonic's joystick was only a pitch bend lever, but later they upgraded it to allow for pitch bending and modulation of either the pitch or filter cutoff. There was also a simple, real time, one-track sequencer built in, but with the unique eature of being able to play back the sequence while playing the keyboard with the joystick and transpose control effecting only the notes played on the keyboard.

The original Gleeman Pentaphonic retailed for US$2795 and featured a 6X9 inch "car speaker" with amplifier built into the back of the cabinet. The price included an injection molded road case (actually a Samsonite suitcase customized with form-fit molding inside to hold the synth and a "Gleeman" nameplate glued over the "Samsonite" label.)

In 1982, the programmable version was introduced. I had told Bob from the beginning how much better (and more marketable) the Pentaphonic would be if it were programmable (as the Prophet-5 was setting the standard for analog synths in these days.) The "Presetter" used a two-digit thumbwheel selector next to the joystick with a toggle switch. The first 50 programs (designed by the Gleemans with help from
myself and Keith Hildebrant, who later worked for Opcode and authored several sound sample disks) were in ROM memory and the second 50 were user programmable. The toggle switch allowed for either instant recall as the thumbwheels were changed, or in the second position the patch remained in performance memory until the wheels were changed and the switch was toggled into the "recall" position. A small recessed red
button was the "write" switch. Unfortunately there was no provision for off-loading of programs. The programmable version retailed for US$3295.

I sold Oscar Petersen his Pentaphonic a few months after we became a dealer. He was playing a concert in town nearby and came into the store just to kill time after the soundcheck. He started playing on the Pentaphonic and didn't stop for two hours, while a small crowd gather to listen. He told his road manager he had to have one, and Bob and I delivered it to him at the venue the next day.

The greatest thing about the Gleeman was the sound -- it was gorgeous! The pads were thick and rich; the string patches made an OBXa sound almost thin by comparison. The three oscillator sound was very similar to a MemoryMoog in some ways, but with a crystal clarity that the Moog couldn't touch. If it had a weak point, it was that the Gleeman was almost TOO "pretty" sounding -- not a very good "down and dirty" synth. It was no good at the kind of bizarre patches that the Moog and the Prophet were capable of. It lacked a sync mode and the limited keyboard range was a hassle, but within that range, it was a truly lovely sounding instrument.

To address these defects, the Gleeman brothers had plans for a 61-note, touch sensitive, 8-voice version of the synth (I even saw the prototype being built while visiting their workshop). MIDI was just becoming available, and the new machine would have MIDI (though by then programmable Pentaphonics could be retrofitted for MIDI by the shop.)

Unfortunately, by 1984 the Japanese synth builders were flooding the market with inexpensive polysynths (like the PolySix and the Juno 6/60) and the market for a 5-voice machine with a 37-note keyboard and a price tag over 3000 bucks was gone. And oon after that the DX7 was introduced and the market was radically changed. The Gleeman "Octophonic" never saw the light of day, and the Gleeman brothers retired from the synthesizer business. (I heard that years later Al Gleeman went on to invent the laser dentist's drill.) Only 50 or so Pentaphonics were ever made but they still pop up in the keyboard rigs of some major recording artists such as Kansas, The Band, R.E.M. and of course, Oscar Petersen.

But the Gleeman didn't disappear until after it had made a bit of a stir in the synth world with the introduction of the world's only see-through synthesizer -- the "Pentaphonic Clear".
