Protocol

Questions:

• Algorithm in context of Network Music: how could Algorithm be collaborative and distributed?
• If we understand algorithm as function, (how) could they be composed together?
• What ist one's identity in collaborative algorithm?

state:

• implemented simple distributed markov chain
• code structure of OSCdefs for multiple individual chains
• simple sound
• state chart window
• new chain \buildUp with a threshold-reaching-retrigger machanism
• optimize the \buildUp sound (additive synthesis)
• added kill and start for chains
• added counter in \state

to-do:

• build connection between chains

idea-box:

• granular synthesis?
• chain modulate chain?
• \buildUp structure >> the freq-array morphing
• add new chain for dynamic control (2024 to-do?)

notes:

sound idea/logic: (notes from 12.7.)

1. the performance is a whole process, this process is about the 3 collaborators building up 1 timbre(Klanggebilde/Teiltongebilde);
   
2. pointillistic music, so to speak. 3 collaborators share 1 algorithm, but make different sounds, contingency and tacet are very important, must take into consideration.
   and so on...
