Textural Counterpoint

By fc on January 7, 2012 3:10 am

This composition has no real style, no meaning or anything like that. I signed up late to the weeklybeats.com thing on advice from a friend, and decided doing this challenge every week would be a great way to learn to improve my use of various computer music software packages. In this case, Textural Counterpoint is generated using the Nodal software developed by CEMA at Monash University, and is a performance of a series of networks I developed for this composition. I hope you enjoy it!

Nodal represent! It'd be cool to see the networks you used. Any chance of linking to a screenshot of what you did?

Very interesting. Did you do any modification to the raw output of the software?

I did, the software is sending MIDI signals to Logic Studio, and I just used UltraBeat, the FM1 synth and... I can't remember what the other synth was. After "performing" the piece with Nodal, I then added some aux channels and automated those changes in texture.

Awesome.

cool concept..  sleepytime music wink

Thanks Phil Harmonic!

Thanks.  This has been a great intro to Nodal.  I never knew about it before today :-)

this is awesome man, I might give that nodal a try- thanks, for the music and the link.

cTrix: thanks man. It's really interesting software. One thing I've been working on prior to this week with Nodal is using it to generate a written score, node-gestures!

Idevourstatic: glad you like it! Let me know how you go with Nodal, there seems to be growing support for it around the world, which is nice. but to be fair, it's only really become highly useable since about v1.6 or so! Anyway, good luck! Enjoy it, and thanks for the comments!

Interesting.
