Rick and Rupert - apologies - will look at yr changes and merge at least some of them in after Burning Man. Definitely the specs, the rdoc, and the strategies instead of queue name change. Off to the event soon.

Got the ambient thing working to the point where I can call it done. Started in on a thing for live performance. The ambient thing runs off the file temple.rns (Reason file) and temple.rb. It plays nice slow ambient music until the end of time. The live performance thing uses yurt.rb, yurt.rns, fuck.rns, and the files in live/. The live thing can do chord progressions; everything else in this commit can also do key changes, basslines, etc., I think that was all in the last commit and since then I've only been tweaking the ambient one to make it sound better, but I'm not really sure. The past few days have involved a lot of last-minute logistical panicking. This process, getting stuff ready, is uncovering loads of flaws. I've got a to-do list going on. Maybe upgrade to a Lighthouse account near-future. The chord progressions work pretty well. It's actually almost at a point of sounding good for the dance music use case when you just leave it running. The goal is this is something I can play live and tweak. In practice it's not totally there yet. I might be able to hack on it *at* Burning Man but it seems unlikely, given the cost, the once-a-year-ness, the it-only-it-happens-here-ness, the general wonder and indescribability, the fact that many of the women are topless, and the fact that I can hack on my laptop more or less anywhere anytime. Burning Man is kind of the opposite of Hollywood in that it's a very, very failure-tolerant environment for artistic experiments. Obviously this only applies to the art side of things; the desert is not failure-tolerant from a survival point of view at all. But my point is, this live stuff, I knew it would be good enough for a one-hour live set in a failure-tolerant artistic environment. I'm beginning to see how it can become good enough for hour-plus live sets in highly *competitive* artistic environments in the reasonably near future. d930a7f7bc906e4b76d2672f6b3957152f437fc7 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com 3eedd6f366f722c7a92ed2eb236d672bcb0cc490 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com http://github.com/bleything/archaeopteryx/commit/150acc422389af20b197d8a4c07f2b1a1d966c30 150acc422389af20b197d8a4c07f2b1a1d966c30

More progress. Now I have major triads and a bassline, following the circle of fifths. The bassline is exceptionally predictable, but I have the ability to change that. 4c2eb8d263182c1f039fdbbf8d2ddf4c123461fd Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com a9068530d4a16dcfd3de86fb49770f66ff2f13e4 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com http://github.com/bleything/archaeopteryx/commit/3eedd6f366f722c7a92ed2eb236d672bcb0cc490 3eedd6f366f722c7a92ed2eb236d672bcb0cc490

Moved a bunch of shit into a folder called other_shit. This is stuff I'm not using for Burning Man but have used in the past and might need later. (In fact the ambient files I'm probably moving back out of other_shit again.) Also created very simple ambient music file which does nothing except tour the circle of fifths. 4df66b3f2bc7b57bdb6f0a5a0e7a8fb2f7a00c32 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com 95a6443f1316287762bd226ed3cdc351dfda7b9d Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com http://github.com/bleything/archaeopteryx/commit/a9068530d4a16dcfd3de86fb49770f66ff2f13e4 a9068530d4a16dcfd3de86fb49770f66ff2f13e4

Finished hack to make tempo variable in real-time. So you can change the tempo while you're making music, without having to stop. Hack uses global variable. Won't be able to clean any of this up until after Burning Man.

I'm committing all this strictly for historical purposes. This code sucks. It blew up on me in Toronto. Actually it didn't. But it could have. It represents serious hackery perpetrated in hopes of automating Ableton Live. It successfully automates Live but doesn't sound that great. The drums-only stuff is better. For Burning Man I'm going with drums only. And possibly adding new features tonight and/or tomorrow. So I'm stashing all this in git just in case, before I destroy it, because I need to throw it all away in order to get the Burning Man shit hooked up. To use this code, which you totally should not do, you need Ableton Live hooked up with tracks on 10 channels, and each fader level hooked to a controller on channel 0. I think I set it like controller 1, fader 1, through controller 10, fader 10, but I don't really remember. There's probably some other shit in here I broke for no good reason. 054ab08a81e66266e6ddb3aa3c3f0ada714ea764 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com 2c1cf587aebc452c660b0f42362586a64bccd116 Giles Bowkett gilesb@gmail.com http://github.com/bleything/archaeopteryx/commit/46d1d09ef5d7077bdbc4be75c00fd40b2f3c34db 46d1d09ef5d7077bdbc4be75c00fd40b2f3c34db
