Nevermind, found all my old files.

Hi admin,

Is there a way to easily – not individually – download every WB I've submitted since it began in 2012? Or by year (that would be preferable)?

Cheers,

VG

Gonna go and follow all these/wishlist something so I come back to it.

My actual name one (kind of avant-garde/classical/electroacoustic/noise): https://vincentgiles.bandcamp.com

fc: https://faultycat.bandcamp.com

furl and fade: https://furlandfade.bandcamp.com (this is an algorithmic beat-based project, I think all drawn from WB2020)

Yeah this logo is sick.

This is the sweetest end-of-a-year-thing-on-the-internet that I've ever seen. heart

I thought to compliment the intentions thread, we could engage in a reflections thread.

Here are mine: I've gone some way to rediscovering that I "love" making music just for the sake of it. Somehow, somewhere, this had disappeared for me. I would like very much to re-start looking at longer-form and slower composition again moving forward. Particularly in the notated/acoustic music spheres. Honestly, the big elephant 'rona was a blessing for me, so once I go back to commuting it will be interesting to see how I go.

I'm trepidatious about doing this at all, but we'll see. It would be good to finish.

1. Hardware.
2. Live Coding
3. Weird programming shit I dunno.

Reality:

1. Bang out some shit in Ableton close to the deadline.

I did all three of these, though less of the weird programming than I thought I would. I only banged out a few Ableton-at-the-deadlines I think, and actually I gotta say that with maybe two exceptions, I always had mine complete well before the deadline, which has been nice to know that I can somewhat juggle things.

History would suggest that 2022 will be the next WB, all going to plan.

There's still time right?

Hows everyone going @Thread?

I somehow managed to only miss two weeks in one of the busiest years ever in my adult life. Looking back, there are some sweet ideas there, thought I'm afraid it will be another year without my grandiose "Best of" album on Bandcamp wink

Very happy to hear from the Weekly family every week, specially since I've been mostly absent from the comments. You guys are great!!!

Being an adult sucks. tongue

Not too bad I'd say. I've learnt a bunch and do a bunch. I am massively losing motivation now but it's the last quarter so... yay.

Don't overlook the Yamaha stuff for low-mid end.

I'd also keep in mind the room itself, don't buy speakers that are too big for your space, and that includes subs. Very few rooms/studios are set up for a sub (thanks, longer wave forms).

I love that answer, thank you smile

Are there other terms?

Well, simply changing time signature isn't necessarily metric modulation. Metric modulation is changing between tempo and/or time signature where one fundamental pulse becomes a new, different, fundamental pulse. For example: an 8th note duplet becomes an 8th note triplet (1.5x faster, approximately) and that triplet then becomes the new 8th note duplet at a new tempo that is 1.5x faster than the original. Shifting from 4/4 to 3/4 at the same tempo isn't really something that needs/is metric modulation, because it is just losing (or gaining) a quarter-note impulse, but if you're really adhering to the difference in "feel" (few people actually do this), then adding the "feel" of one or the other by a technique such as polymetre, or polyrhythm, facilitates the change. So there are different metric devices that facilitate different types of changes in different ways. Hence my vague answer. wink

It depends on what you want to do in your transition. 3/4 and 4/4 are not very different from one another, unlike 6/8 and 4/4 or 6/8 and 3/4. A transition from 3/4 to 4/4 should work reasonably seamlessly without any fancy devices, as you're kind of just adding or subtracting a beat. But if you wanted to make the transition a little more fluid, you can superimpose one on the other for a short period before the change.

For the following, S = strong, W = weak (referring to the beat strength. SS will mean secondary-strong.

In 3/4, your pulse pattern is: S W W | S W W | S W W | etc. (counting ONE two three | ONE two three)

In 4/4 your pulse pattern is: S W SS W |S W SS W | S W SS W| etc. (counting ONE two THREE four | ONE two THREE four).

Ok so for a 3/4 you might have a pulse pattern: S W W | S W W | etc. and you might want to move it into 4/4, so you would introduce the 4/4 pulse pattern against the 3/4 pulse pattern, say, in one instrument.

I1 3/4|| S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | 4/4 S W SS W | S W SS W | etc.

I2 3/4|| S W W | S W W | S W W | S W SS | W S W | SS W S | 4/4 S W SS W | S W SS W| etc.

In that example, instrument 2 introduces the "polymetre" of 4/4 against 3/4 facilitating a slightly smoother move into 4/4.

Notice that in the final bar before the 4/4 change there will be a "double accent" where the final strong pulse of the 3/4 has a new downbeat in 4/4. To get around this you simply disregard that beat structure a bit (I.e SS W W | 4/4 S W SS W) or make the transition long enough to have the full length of 3:4 (12 beats).

There are other ways to do this, but that is one of the easier ones. Is that what you are after?

Thank you for this!  I got an update - is the term I'm looking for "metric modulation" ?

Short answer is "yes", long answer is: "kinda". tongue

I can't help with the comment search, but I can possibly answer questions you may have about that rough area, if helpful?
