Make a Piece for Steve to Play

Uncategorized 6 July 2009 | 0 Comments

We’ve opened up the composition/creation process for our Robot HEAiD to anyone willing to create an Abelton Live set or even just send us a zip of a small cohesive sound library. That’s right, you too can be the master of puppets behind a generative music piece. We’re kinda going open-source!

Just visit this URL for the full details: http://bit.ly/makemusic

This is VERY MUCH a WORKING-LIVING DOCUMENT.
This document is being created by a group and will steadily improve as the date approaches and probably beyond.

Send me your track

You can get a 14-day demo of abelton capable of saving live sets. The demo version will also allow you to play and learn without the 14 day licence, so just get that when you are ready to save. A lite licence (without sound libraries) is ~$300.

n/m MaxMSP it is.

Noatikl just wasn’t doing what we wanted. It’s more about composition and didn’t seem to have the flexibility we wanted… or at least it just wasn’t inspiring us.

We’ve now dived into MaxMSP land.

The big bonus was that our new best friends John and David showed us behind the curtain. And we’ve been able to leap forward into some great MIDI processing.

We have some great plans for the “rules” of our system. We’ll post about that when we solidify them a bit more.

Here’s a link to the software: intermorphic.com/tools/noatikl
