wow, that "swarm" at around 1/3 of the way in is crazy

I still find most xenharmonic music fairly "ugly" but this piece is quite compelling, maybe my ears are slowly getting used to it

I'm trying to do really obvious and well telegraphed 'functional harmony' within the tracks so that it's (harmonically) easy to follow, without needing to compromise on all the 'metal dissonance' that I also want to chuck into everything, so I try to have at least one 'resolve' or 'payoff' where there is a harmonically 'simple' section that helps your ear to make sense of the rest of it

you've been doing some really cool/interesting stuff!

Engaging--melodic in a way that a lot of algorithmic work doesn't seem to do.  Compelling!

thanks ^_^

it's getting difficult to keep up the level of quality on a weekly basis, I had to churn through 4 tracks this week to get one good enough to be a keep (next weeks track - sneeb eight) I'll try to keep it up

the main thing is that I taught the computer how to do 'human like' melodic contour and shapes, and I have built in modifiers for rhythmic phrasing (by tieing it to the rhythm generator)

Getting rhythm right for the melodies is half the battle

I limit the available notes in the scale, on a 'per bar' basis, so that the harmony makes logical sense in terms of 'functional harmony' theory
