Time Generator

By Avrilcadabra on February 20, 2022 12:23 pm

Had a rough week, so was not feeling creative. I did make this generative piece earlier in the week though. It was made on the Sonicware XFM and 8 bit warps, using random sequencer mode. the XFM is also using probability per step. Was nice to try this on the Sonicware synths

Also is video and longer version here https://youtu.be/rdhBpMff8_E

Wow the strings in this! Gives me Journey vibes which is one of my favourite OSTs and super impressive this is all coming out of the XFM+8bitwarps. And hard to tell it's procgen, but since it is I love that I could listen to it play forever.

Thanks impbox, the strings are the 2-op FM synth in the 8-bit warps

this track completes me

This sounds sublime (in the sense of awe and grandeur, not turning solids into gas).

Exactly.  I don't know if it's the relaxed pacing, majestic space horns, or judicious programming—but it didn't cross my mind that it might be generative when I first heard it.  I was probably too busy floating serenely in my transcendent ambient space bubble to think about it much.

The youtube video felt like it ended too soon—but knowing it flows endlessly, I suppose it always would.


How did I miss thi?  So good. I keep seeing a benevolent HAL 9000 as this develops
