teletype scenes

ascension (2020-05-31)

Melodic track with lots of random surprises

bass shifter (2020-08-23)

blow (2019-12-01)

broken funk (2019-06-11)

click (2020-05-03)

Fast, clicky, glitchy track in 4+5/8, melody from teletype.

cluster-5 (2021-01-10)

100% generative patch driven by teletype.
#1 randomly select a note in C-minor, 20% of the time a note close to the the last note, 6% of the time a random note, the note is stored in variable A.
#2 might overwrite this note with a knob movement.
#3 randomly selects between three sets of chords that go with each note, and sends a random note from the chord to a three voice unit on the ER-301.

Controls:
TI.PRM 1: probability of the fm-perc to play.
TI.PRM 2: probability that a chord note will be played.
TI.PRM 3: probability that a new note is randomly selected
TI.PRM 4: overwrites the current note if knob is moved
PRM: jitter to M, CW: no jitter, CCW: max jitter
Joystick X: length of fm-perc (ER-301)
Joystick Y: brightness of chord notes (ER-301)

count me in (2020-11-29)

Fast, melodic, moody, lydian at times. Sequenced from teletype, ER-301 on drums and “solo”. Also some fss recombination action in there.

deep blue (2019-10-13)

Algorithmic melody and harmony, modulation from D-minor to F-Dorian in part 4, BSP slaved (unused), handy 4x blink before part change.

diffusion (2020-01-26)

A part in 4/4, a happy accident suggested the B part should be in 6/8 (technically 21/8)

early riser (2020-05-17)

Melodically saturated tune in minor.

every step matters (2020-04-05)

Cheerful tune in 7/8 modulating a minor third up in the b section, main melody played by hand.

frankly speaking (2020-04-19)

Funky tune in 5/4, main melody by hand on the microfreak.

healthyh (2020-07-12)

Melancholic waltz in 5+5+5/16, harmonically it's somewhat shifting phrygian, with abrupt key changes towards the end.

hi five (2019-05-12)

Tracks split over two scenes, selected on knob. For this to work the scenes must be in locations 7 and 8 (or edit the code, change "7" in the last two lines of script 8 in both scenes to the location of the first scene, the second scene must then be next from the first).
First scene is the main part, scene 2 is a randomly generated break.

incredibles (2019-09-01)

First track of my set at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, summer 2019

jitter (2020-09-20)

Energetic and laid back, rhythmic and melodic, two parts with a short transition.

joes show

21-03-2021 Pulsating, glitcy ambient in 7/8, 2x generative leads (rings and bell).

keep (2020-12-13)

Tempo on the bright side, long melody sequenced, harmony voice + solo played on ms-1. Main sequencer: teletype, long melody sequenced from teletype. ER-301 on drums and a bit of granular texture.

late reply (2020-06-14)

Opening more up to generative input from teletype + a few discoveries in phrygian...

looose (2020-06-28)

Casual track, no melody, focus on texture and rhytmic structures.

minus (2019-12-29)

Generated melody, sonically inspired by the music of Ela Minus (round, bright, plucky), features harmonic modulation.

mm (2020-10-18)

Long harmonic line, generative melody (teletype).

ofra (2020-07-26)

Drum-less 6/8 groove in D-minor, a touch of D-major in the B-part.

pessimism is overrated (2019-07-05)

Happy vibes in F-major and D-major. Intentional melody, played by teletype and live piano.

ping (2019-05-28)

Mellow ambient piece.

rad io (2019-06-28)

Glitchy, dreamy piece with intentional melody and a phrygian flavour.

rain check (2019-12-15)

First patch with the rainmaker (hence the track title). Had great fun with un-even length of B-part on this one. Floats between D-minor and D-major.

rigor triad (2019-11-17)

shall we dance (2020-03-08)

Romantic waltz, generative solo.

shallow waters (2020-09-06)

A cheerful tune, driven by melody in three keys.

spine (2019-04-08)

Four parts, selected by knob, each part has it's own pattern (0-3)
Pattern structure:
rows 0-15: scale
rows 16-23: melody
rows 24-31: unused
rows 32-47: probability of BD
rows 48-63: a group of four consecutive notes form a chord, the first note in the group is the bass note

stargazer (2020-01-13)

Hand played melody over melodic bassline, middle part is reaching for the stars (aka atonal bleeps, screaming filter and granular glitches).

still (2021-02-07)

Ambient track in C-dorian, three parts. Planned lead part and generative bell melody.

stranger danger (2020-10-05)

Super slow track, scale change, deliberate melody (hermod) and generative melody (teletype).

student eleven (2019-09-29)

Energetic, melody driven track in G-minor, modulating to Bb-minor for C-part, sequenced from teletype, beatstep pro and swt16+.

temporal shifts (2020-11-01)

Beat displacment in 7/4.

the man with the funny hat (2020-02-09)

So I figured out a way to have really long melodies in patterns, why not try it out? Basically in G-major, although theres some G-lydian and G-minor in there as well. A-part in 7/8, B-part in 4/4, C-part in 13/8.

three's a crowd (2019-11-03)

Straight forward tune in C-minor, melody played by hand into Bishops Miscellany.

up a notch (2019-09-15)

High activity in 7/8 meter, notes and some triggers sequenced by teletype, most triggers from swt16+, four parts on knob.

vii (2020-12-27)

Melodic track in 7/16, featuring metric modulation and random selection between beat variations

welcome to the surface (2020-11-14)

Melodic track in 6/8, modulating to 4/4

with great powers (2020-08-09)

Long melody + refacedx from hermod (teletype slaved to hermod), odd meters FTW!

your word against his (2020-02-23)

Cute melody (played on microfreak), three parts, generative solo, phrasing and modulation by hand on orgone accumulator.

youturn (2021-01-24)

Mostly groove based, retrigger of disco-like bass pattern following bd.

mom-series

My mom has trouble sleeping at night, so I'm putting together a series of ambient pieces for her to relax to.

mom 1

Four parts, selected by knob, each part has it's own pattern (0-3)
Each patterns contain notes, pattern 0 more basic (mostly octaves and 5ths), ranging to pattern 3, which contains more complex notes.

Metro script randomizes itself
Script 1-3 triggers one voice each on the ER-301
Script 8 stops

mom 2

Three chords (C, F, Dm) selected on knob
F6/F7 -/+ activity (0-100)
F8 Randomize pattern start and length

Pattern layout: Pattern 0: C-major chord
Pattern 1: F-major chord
Pattern 2: D-minor chord
rows 0-15: notes for soft bleep sound
rows 16-19: notes for strings

mom 3

Randomly select notes in a chord-like structure, knob determines probability that a note will play.

mom 4

Three voices each going through a series of notes in C-major, knob controls the number of voices playing

mom 5

10 partials from the overtone series on the er-301. Teletype radomizes gains and slews of those gain changes
