golden. golden this video is indeed. 🙏

i've been sperging on your drum programming threads all morning- dude, i feel enlightened by the knowledge that you have thrust upon me- but i fear that my thirst may become unquenchable.

sound reminds of Stephene Picq's Dune ost

also i think scales built by ear are just vastly underexplored; they for sure have a goal, and can have some logic, which is primarily based on your ear, not math (i mean, there's probably some math hiding, if it sounds interesting, but still)

for ratios: you can also build it in 2 steps, as Kyle Gann, having a center, building scale out of it, and then repeat same again for the whole scale

Such a great series! Would love more of this. Maybe time for a comeback :D ?

I haven't messed around yet with 4 yet, but that would be a fun challenge to take super dissonant intervals that seem unrelated and making it sound nice

Awesome 😎

Excellent video, detailed yet concise. Great job. It even gave me a couple ideas lol.

I knew guys like Richard Ramirez used this pretty heavily, and in the world of Noisecore/Gorenoise, almost every project uses this for bass guitar, which i also do. It soounds incredible, dub like low end with this more abrasive superfuzz esque high end.

This is the best explanation of how rithmic, harmonic music works I have heard to date. It does however not account for exceptions. I like to make disharmony part of the harmony so it doesn´t get boring or predictable. Also as a composer you want to play with the expectation of your audience, so you also need a baseline of what complexity of music they can process. It is different when you are writing poetry for poets or doing jokes for comedians. Not radically different, but still subtly so.

Hey! I really enjoy your music. Just wanted to share an idea with you. In traditional Turkish music, some makams (sort of equivalent to modes or scales in western music) have this behaviour to change according to which way the melody is going. It would be one note going half sharp on the way up and half flat on the way down while other notes stay the same for example. Don't know the exact specifics of it but I guess it gives a lot of character to certain makams. It might be fun experiment to add this innate rule to microtonal scales in pure data.

where can i find a succint book that combines this sort of "music theory" with code? is that even possible? :)

I'm going with MTS-ESP these days, if I want to play some xenharmonic stuff :)

Happy to see your new work!

Obviously, you know a lot of music theory and are able to put that into an abstract presentation, which is good for learning that to a computer. Sadly you give no (short) musical examples of the details, nor any musical example of a full result. i.m.o. this is a great omission in a video presentation about automatic music generation. The musical output should be most relevant.

This is gold. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing work! Ever since I switched my focus from being a jazz musician to now currently studying computer science, I've always felt that my music knowledge is an advantage that I could leverage with my programming skills one day. This video just widen up that possibilities even more for me, so I can't thank you enough for that. Music consists of a great deal of patterns, after all. It's one of my goals to strip away all those patterns and programize them. I hope there will come a day where a computer generated music sounds good without any human help.

this is increadible

the visuals and diagrams are the most comprehensive i've seen! super useful, thanks!!!!

Late to the party but Very insightful. Applying this to my Ableton workflow ❤️

do you do this ppl. I looking for someone to this for me.

This information is gold

This is the best thing I have found in years. Thank you so much!

I thoroughtly enjoyed this. For people wanting to do the melodic line -> scale quantiser thing though, I would recommend not having "pitches" as your melodic contour, but rather using "scale degrees". This eliminates repeated notes caused by having fewer available pitches in the quantised version.

omg love but fear and stress but inspiration im lost sorry congratulation respect bro if you need help thank you you're the best

magnificent!

This is inspirational too me, thank you.

This is such a great journal mate, and really enjoyable to watch. Great documentation of knowledge through process :)

Your years developing this stuff really shines through here Matt. Clear, concise and insightful. Great work 👍

This is such a good presentation

Just got the dod version

Brilliant!

Really appreciate the concise look in to your process. Excited to check out the bandcamp!

I like how u hit the arrangement last!

This is v inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Im looking for a portable pc to run pd on amidst a bunch of external processing, what are you using? I'm having a difficult time choosing one! cheers

Thanks! Awesome! Xenharmonics is just what I need :P <3

Beautiful work, Matt. Thank you for sharing. This should be essential viewing for anyone producing music with modular hardware, DAWs, Max/PD... so everyone, basically.

Very useful stuff! It would be really interesting to see how you implement some of these concepts in a PD patch but this in itself has clarified a lot of things I was confused about in a big picture sense. I messed with algorithms and markov chains in Max a bit when I was in college and lately I've been itching to dig a little deeper in PD than just rudimentary conditional logic.

Amazing!

I've been looking for something liike this. So can I then connect it via usb and just map? I want to use it instead of my laptop keyboard.

Thank you!! For this video, this video helped me give structure to my musical ideas

this is sick man, you got a website or something?

This is very similar way of thinking on how I write my patches as well. I got a few ideas from how you layed out the process. Nice video!

this. rocks.

This is a really good overview. The idea of quantizing beat-synced LFOs to generate melodies is something I've used with modular hardware - a fun way to generate ideas and spur thinking, while still having some degree of control/musicality.

I found this while researching generative music techniques. Your stuff is awesome, I’ve been really enjoying listening through all your material. Cheers!

Very informative. Thank you this video helped me well towards finishing up!

and humble as fuvk too!!!
