A trial run of the first round of refinements of another generative algorithm (Max) this time meant to be more "ambient" than the more "IDM" style of the last one.
Moderate success for this one. Particularly happy with the harmony and bass generation.
Max makes MIDI, Ableton Live for everything else.
Named after the radish.

The bass/harmony really tie the thing together nicely.
Thanks. Triads are so boring but having the bass derived from the harmony gives it probably as close to tonal as I can tolerate listening to (in my own work).
Really nice work. I didn’t realize this was generative at first.

I recommend going the other way around. In music theory, the bass lays down the ground note of the chord being played while the harmony builds upon it.
This is a really nice track, regardless of how it was made!

That is not true. The base (if played by a bass instrument) is usually part of the harmonic field. The base defines the inversion of the harmony perceived above it.

Thanks! Honestly it is made the way I like.
THe smooth synth in this is sick

Sorry Devieus, the impulse to argue is very strong. I know you mean well with the comments like this.

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it but it’s just some Ableton preset that I liked.
It's alright, no worries bro. You do you and as long as the outcome is great, the method doesn't matter; leave the theory to the academics.
I listened before reading the description and like @MissionCrossing , I did not realize this was generative.
