Played around with the beat sequencer to set up each section of percussion, and using sampled, edited clips in #Garageband. Each sample requires a new track; seems inefficient; ended up w/ 18 tracks. Either I haven't yet figured out variable volume control in a track (other than editing each note's "velocity"), or the app doesn't have the ability to do so.

I call this short-ish tune, "Wag the Dog". It's obvious why, when you listen to it. #Music #MusicComposition

@DBG3D @t36s Okay, I found another nice excerpt, a bit more minimal than the above, but maybe also more clear to hear the approach described earlier. Just to explain once more, all the samples used are only one-shot single notes (produced by Simon Pyke/Freefarm). All melodies, chords, chord progressions, rhythm and the overall arrangement are fully generated (mostly but not exclusively) via cellular automata. The composition system also had other means to create/control, e.g. probabilistically trigger the recording of notes/events of selected tracks/channels for a few bars and then replay these phrases later, maybe using a different time scale, transpose, mirror and/or with different instruments... This proved to be highly effective (and musical) in terms of longer progressions and to create more interesting multilayered compositions/progressions. Some phrases were kept in a memory pool for up to 12 hours (the piece ran for 3 months)...

As you can hopefully tell, the visuals for that installation were audio-responsive (not really audio per se, but responding to the events of the composer). Likewise, if the visuals would become too agitated/intense, an event would be sent to the composer to quickly dial down/thin out the musical intensity (e.g. trigger tempo change, mute tracks, lower velocity etc.). This hybrid, coupled two-way feedback worked very well in practice and there were so many moments I wish I would have recordings of...

I'm working on a symphonic orchestra song for a contest. Do you happen to know where can I download/view *modern* (current era) professional scores for symphonic orchestras? More than anything, I would like to learn about styles rather than about how this or that author composes music. Things like hiding or not empty shelves, instrumentation list, bar numbers, rehearsals, fonts, etc...

i was not able to finish my (ambitious) (interestingly dissonant) countermelody for the Knights of Guinivere waltz theme today (the first half is great, but the second half isn't really where I want it to be)

However, I was able to get a usable, clean rough draft of a musical-concept piece for To The Stars in which Tomoe Mami takes command of a starship.

(... did i mention i'm a total nerrrrrd)

Been doing "not awful" with daily timed freewriting; need to somehow implement that into lyric writing and ESPECIALLY music composition bc after the last time I sat down at the piano I pushed too hard and got myself stuck and now I'm resisting doing more because I feel blocked…

I got a request to use guitar, which is an instrument that I don't use often, and it gave me a nudge out of my usual comfort zone and turned out to be sort of its own inspiration in a way. I really like fingerstyle guitar, so I'm glad I got a chance to incorporate a little bit of that flavor into this piece.
