| 1518.1 | Post an overview of your "Counterpoint" patch, Bill. | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | Eirikur, CDA Product Manager | Thu Jul 07 1988 14:35 | 11 |
| The really classical example that I recall was called "Entropical
Paradise." Morton Subotnik? I've actually forgotten if I really heard
the piece (just a recording of the patch running). Anyway, it used
most of the resources in a very large modular Moog to make the sounds
of a tropical jungle. I decided to give it a try at one point when I
was in college and I did get at least some fairly nice random
bird-calls and insect-like sounds out of my very limited PAIA modular
system.

> 2) Is sound sculpture "musically valid" on COMMUSIC tapes?
What isn't? ;-)
Actually, it might be interesting to have little sections of sound
sculpture on the next Commusic tape just for kicks. I've
stumbled into these every once in a while. For example, while I
was playing around with my TZ trying to get something that sounded
like a gong, I wound up playing around with sounds that rose to a
shimmer and then did some wild things over a long period of time.
With the operators, waveforms and long envelopes available, the
TZ seems especially suited to sound sculpture. I would imagine
that the CZ would also be well suited for this.
Neat idea!

| I got an Emax flop with some pan pipes and one Digeridoo sample.
A Digeridoo is an Aboriginal woodwind that they play using circular
breathing.. for a LONG time. Well, the sample was of a middle 'C'
and very smooth. Too smooth. I lowered it a fourth and began playing
with the loop points until it got a very definite rhythm.
Then I set it playing, functioning as a pedal-point drone AND rhythm
element, and improvised a wonderful piece around it using the Kurzweil
piano and various string/choral patches. I call it 'Ascending Ayers
Rock'. Unless better pieces come along it'll be on Commusic VI.

| 1518.4 | ARP Odessy self playing patches | YES::CLARY | This is not a dark ride. | Thu Jul 07 1988 16:43 | 8 |
| Many years ago a friend of mine had an ARP Oddesy, and we used to
be able to create self playing patches on it, but I could swear
that they had a repeating structure to them. Also I can't
remember at all what parameters (I know very little about synths
now, but knew nothing about synths then) caused this effect but I
do remember that it was easy to make the ARP do it.

| 1518.5 | And they say synths won't replace people? Hogwash! | AKOV88::EATOND | Where d' heck a' we! | Thu Jul 07 1988 16:53 | 0 |
| 1518.6 | Yes, it's possible on an Odyssey... | LOLITA::DIORIO | | Thu Jul 07 1988 17:03 | 9 |
| re .4
Your friend most likely had a sample and hold pattern going, controlled
by the LFO. I had an Odyssey and used to do that all the time (back
in '73)! It was cool then--nay cosmic! But personally, I don't think
I'd have much use for it now.

| 1518.7 | I *did* sell mine, didn't I? {sigh} | DYO780::SCHAFER | Brad - DTN 433-2408 | Thu Jul 07 1988 17:10 | 12 |
| RE: .4
If you have a synth with gain and controllable s/h (sample/hold)
features (like the Oddity does), then it's easy to make the kind of
patch Bob talked about.
I did a similar thing with an Arp Axxe where I used s/h to open the
filter using very slow a/r (attack/release) settings and used a white
noise generator. Sounded just like a surf, complete with waves hitting
the beach and all. And all done with a single oscillator.

| 1518.10 | Looks like this may be the next New Wave! | COERCE::YERAZUNIS | Where do those things come from, anyway? | Thu Jul 07 1988 19:05 | 7 |
| Sounds like "sound sculptures", rather than songs, are going to be
the big thing on COMMUSIC VI. Doesn't bother me a bit. I like
it that way.
Ahh, the vagarities of popular culture. :-)

| 1518.11 | It's a flash trend! | DSSDEV::HALLGRIMSSON | Eirikur, CDA Product Manager | Thu Jul 07 1988 20:00 | 6 |
| Damn, I've blown my chance to be a trend setter. I suppose my
"Brownian Stasis" will be packed in with the rabble :-) on Commusic
VI.

| 1518.12 | Moderation | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | Yo! | Thu Jul 07 1988 20:13 | 14 |
| I was thinking of putting the HR-16 demo on the tape to fill
space at the end.
Regarding having this kind of stuff on the tape, I like to avoid
setting rules about "content" on Commusic tapes, so it's up to
you guys.
My own personal opinion is that mostly I want to hear music, so
I guess what that boils down to is that a few minutes of this
here and there is fine with me. I'd like to keep the tapes
as "listenable" as possible. Sound sculpture-type patches would
becoming boring for me if they went on too long.
