Short on time this week for a variety of work and family reasons, so I improvised with a Pure Data patch I created for an audio installation a while back. The patch contains six identical frequency-shifting modules, the parameters of which can be set manually, but I can also set them to be triggered randomly: transposition, chunk window, pan, delay amount, delay send, and delay feedback are set to randomized values. To make it more interesting, the frequency of updating to the next random value is also randomized, and all of these randomizations can be set within separate ranges, or toggled off and on.  I'd kind of like to put a beat on this, now that I think of it.

Update: with-beats version at http://onezeromusic.com/wb/ionosphere_beats.mp3

Very cool stuff. This makes me want to dive back into learning Pure Data.

Thanks!  I've found it quite fun, though it's best to have a reference or three to turn to, like the FLOSS manual, Miller's book, or this online tutorial.

Looks like importing this into Live caused a bit of time-warping.  Here's an unwarped version, and a live link to the unwarped version with beats.

Very interesting, and I'm glad you added the beats they complement the original track very well

Nifty! Your "unwarped version with beats." has an extra http://%20, btw

Great patch. I like that there are some "parts" in it even though you still feel the random.

The process sounds interesting with some cool if not random results. Would be nice to chop it up and make a track. The link for the beats version did not work for me.

Wow--I keep having trouble with this link--maybe it's the different mobile interfaces I've been bouncing around using.  Try this:   http://onezeromusic.com/wb/ionosphere_beats.mp3
