'Artifical Intelligence' Ambient Sci Fi Soundscape Exploratory Modular Jam in 72HP

The final video in the Jamuary series - Sixteen. In this 'Artificial Intelligence' video I walk through my setup for exploring the sonic possibilities of the Make Noise Morphegene and Mutable Instruments Beads. There is an experimental and, towards the end quite wild jam where I explore what amazing sounds and textures these modules can produce. If you watch to the end, you should understand the AI reference.
The 72HP rail setup is a pair of 36HP 3D printed rails which are of my own design and created to be modular and expandable. If you'd like any more information about the rails then drop us a comment.

Nonhuman Theme and Variations, composed by R2D2. I actually enjoyed this demonstration and my analysis of the experience is I had to listen in a kind of multi channel manner rather than just experiencing stereo, or even some kind of quadraphonic setting. Almost like Asian languages have various levels of pitch for very different meanings. The Western ear wants melodies and harmony, but this piece divides itself into strata of frequencies, expressed by numerous non-related tones and modulatory sonic events or elements. Machines cannot, IMHO, express emotions (yet). But I do think they can, in their AI way, pick things that they “think” will be pleasing or interesting to humans. Not love, just calculation.

Is this an AI generated comment I wonder? 🤔

@@3dims Nope, I’m a real human. But it is sorta interesting that, while trying to describe the process I was experiencing in listening to it, you felt like I became a more robotic or “AI-ish” narrator.
Hey, how many pictures have a stoplight in them?

@@3dims Or maybe you’re joking 🙃 I’m sorry I don’t really get human humor.

Ha! It’s all gone a bit meta. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about the video.
