Notes: Based on 3 seconds of piano in Ab Natural Minor, inspired completely by a conversation with friends. I wrote the audio looper/slicer used in Max/MSP specifically for this week's entry. Strings added after for accompaniment

This is awesome. So much material derived from so little. Well done, very well done!
Thanks Lien and Vinpous!
Here is a screenshot of the looper/slicer I wrote to control the 3 second piano loop:
4 channels of the same loop / 6 playback modes (normal, 1/2, 1/4 speed in forward and reverse) / selectable loop area / random audio slicing (controllable slice speed and one-shot)
Strong emphasis was put on making sure it's click free. A few clicks come through when slicing in a selectable area. I'll get around to ensuring it's completely click free at some point in the future.
it and the accompanying image is perfect.
Really moving, took me back to your week 1 track.
stunningly fine track. would love to see that screendump as a vid, could watch it for hours 
This is really nice, great to see Max being used to make some really beautiful music. Max makes me so angry.
Hmmm video dump s definitely possible. I'll need to make an account on a tube site though. Stuff like that would be great for my website. I bought the domain a while ago now and it's still just the default wordpress theme. I need to make my website but completely suck at aesthetic design. Just look at my looper. You guys are lucky I bothered changing colours. Who's good at website design/layouts? Is someone able to give me a hand?
Duuuuuuuuuuuude. Would also love to see the vid playing ;-) (maybe an extended animated GIF???!)
