@noyzelab Dave Noyze - Out of Memory - Featuring Midified Lorenz Attractor & Chaotic Granular Synthesis

via noyzelab where you'll find additional details. Just capturing a bit of it here for the MATRIXSYNTH archives.

"This album is a collection of algorithmic/generative works from chaos and complexity theory, made between 1997 & 2001 with modular and MIDI synthesizers. Systems were initially prototyped on Acorn machines (BBC Master, Archimedes 310 & Risc PC) in earlier years using the BBC BASIC programming language. Apple machines running Max were used in the later stages. The algorithms were drawn from (among others) 1 and 2 dimensional Cellular Automata, Lorenz and other strange attractors, various mathematical functions/surfaces of 1 to 3 dimensions, 1/f Voss noise generator and the Logistic equation. These algorithms were used to directly control various modular and MIDI synthesizers. The video's below were all made at Noyzelab, Australia on my Risc PC in 2010/2011 using a Yamaha RS7000."

1st four videos in this playlist:

1. midified lorenz attractor high speed RS7000 lately bass
"this is a midified lorenz strange attractor over midi at high speed playing the rs7000 dx100 lately bass preset. coded in BBC BASIC, running on Acorn RISC PC"

2. midified lorenz attractor medium speed

3. chaotic granular synthesis over midi ! modified henon attractor part 2
"this is a modified henon strange attractor doing a kind of chaotic granular synthesis over midi - part 2. its basically thrashing the living crap out of a zap sound on my rs7000. i give the sound a quick audition before it kicks off"

4. chaotic granular synthesis over midi ! modified henon attractor part 1
"this is a modified henon strange attractor doing a kind of chaotic granular synthesis over midi. its basically thrashing the living crap out of a drum bank on my rs7000"

Noyzelab Ulamizer II Cellular Automata Sequencer & MANIAC - Prototype Cellular Automata Module

Image of Noyzelab's Ulamizer II Cellular Automata Sequencer. You'll find more pics and details at Noyzelab here. Below are videos featuring Noyzelab's MANIAC, a prototype cellular automata generative music hardware module. If you are not familiar with Cellular Automata, check out this article on wikipedia. There have been numerous apps and hardware to feature the concept for seemingly random sequences (click here for numerours posts featuring Cellular Automata - you might be surprised).

via Noyzelab: "Since the early experiments by contemporary composers such as Iannis Xenakis, interest in the use of Cellular Automata (CA) in music has dramatically increased. ULAMIZER II is a prototype of a CA music module, designed to be part of the Noyzelab studio environment for both modular and MIDI synthesizers. This module design has now been integrated into my MANIAC / Arthur development systems"

MANIAC NEW CV interface + uTonal

Published on Apr 16, 2012

"quick vid test of MANIAC with a new panel of 8xcv in & 2 x cv out + 2 microtonal oscillators all on the same module. cv outs are going to filter and eg attack rate. uTonal osc's are being driven directly from CA states and 2 CV knobs controlling the mapping.
