Greeting the Morning

By fc on December 21, 2014 11:04 pm

The extent of my nightmares extends to the time reaching 11am today and me not having started a Weeklybeat. I couldn't stand the thought of missing 51 or 52, having completed the previous 50.

Cobbled this thing together this morn. It consists of some sonified mass spectrometry data (can't remember what particles), and a piece I made from field recordings earlier this year. Along with some piano, drums, and gongyness.

Enjoy.

Well if this was rushed, it doesn't sound like it.  Really enjoyed it!  Great sound with the beats.  Nice one!

Thanks!
Not very rushed. It was literally a nightmare, hah. I woke up (at 4am or so) thinking "holy shit! Oh no!" Then realised what time it was.

Glad you like the track.

Train recordings?

Close, tram. I actually thought I had the field-recording piece as one of my WBs, but apparently not.

Very happy your nightmare wasn't real, this is a really cool track!
What software are you using to create the sonified mass spectrometry data?

Cheers.
I'm glad it wasn't real too!

Using Max 6 at the moment. Converting m/z to mHz, relative intensity to amplitude.

I missed a bunch, but I was determined to do these last two weeks.  Your work this week was very cool as per your usual.

Dancing to data. Love the sparseness!

I recognized your sonic explorations through the first bars... I thought "is that MSP guy being polyrythmic again" wink

Keep the good patching !!!

Thanks so much. Sorry you missed a bunch though!

Sparseness eh? I'd not really considered it could be considered sparse

Hah, thanks. Didn't really conceive of this as polyrythimic though, which part(s)? The MSP part was actually done about two weeks ago, I just grabbed the AIF file and used it. smile

what, not sure what particles? *sneers*
no seriously, well done - i like how the train sample keeps on popping up again

Nope. Don't remember I'm afraid. I'm not even sure I ever knew. Some kind of metal though, as that's what the dude I'm working with is working on.
