Now this is some weird sh1t. If I was in a chinese restaurant I would ask the waiter to give the piano player less drugs and more oxygen. Dope!

don't shoot up the piano player &mdash 05/11/07 - 10:42:01 AM
it is not the fault of the piano player. his notes and letters are permanently rearranged. it is caused by an excess of caffeine, not dope. it is not "w.e.i.r.d." it is "w.i.r.e.d." these two symptoms are similar. music relieves the tension caused by this affliction. your comments calm the waters. thank you. 0x0

I like it. sounds nice in a unquie way. very cheerfull

it takes a thoughtful one to find cheerful beauty in imperfection and uniqueness. it is the best that can be done. but every day is an improvement. thank you. 0x0

is this algorithmic? i like

nice contrasts

thanks

it is &mdash 05/11/07 - 07:53:46 PM
it begins as algorithmically generated patterns. additional algorithms add harmonies. some manual processes add/subtract flaws in the first processes. more manual processes add dynamics and choose appropriate instrumentation. the repeated process creates this. it is called re-generative music. if the results are pleasing to you, it is a worthy experiment. thank you. 0x0

doesnt seem &mdash 05/12/07 - 10:55:19 AM
It really doesnt seem that far off to me.But I grew up listening to Brubeck.
This sounded more like impov jazz to me. Its was way too short!!

offjazz &mdash 05/12/07 - 11:32:49 AM
it is not brubeck. it can only take 4. some improvisations wander, as this piece does. however, it began to wander far away. so it had to be shortened before getting lost. thank you for listening, and offering your generous thoughts. 0x0

music appreciation class &mdash 05/17/07 - 07:45:16 PM
I remember a class I took in college when I was burnt out. Music listening. I thought - just the therapy I need. When we got to the experimental composers, who did musical experiments with algorithms, my classmates were vocal about how unpretty it sounded. That stuff was wackier than this. I was the lone wolf to defend it. I don't think I need to defend this. Sounds pretty. It's Zajjy LOL.

Kudos to you for experimenting with music. Music is an experiment. I agree with Steve that it is a bit brief. I think you could expand on your experiment if you wanted to : )

encouragement &mdash 05/17/07 - 10:16:06 PM
the music appreciation class story was nice, and universal. music composition is an extraordinarily complex art. simple algorithmic rules would create many perceived "mistakes". to create better music with fewer mistakes, the algorithms became impractically complex. recently, some complex rules have been found, and provide surprising results. it is a great playground again. but there must still be manual adjustments. there will always need to be manual adjustments. however, that provides additional enjoyment. it is heartwarming to know this provides you with enjoyment. thank you. 0x0

it is not a round. but it does feel circular, agreed. so glad you could enjoy it. thank you. 0x0

aimless meandering ... &mdash 05/24/07 - 02:47:25 PM

I too hear something of a cross between oriental sound
and the noodlings of a jazz pianist... would like to
know more of how you 'generate' this in the description,
if it's not a secret of course :o) .. it's very pleasing in a 'it doesn't lead anywhere' but does build kinda way..so I'd expect there was some manual intervention
here and there .. certainly it's unexpected, break from norm, experimental . could well be zajjy or ebulliant but I haven't the foggiest what your on about :o)

guided experimentation &mdash 05/24/07 - 06:01:35 PM
it is an experiment with multiple software packages, iteratively altered by hand. it is early in development. it is premature and time-consuming to describe all processes. regrettably it interferes with the joy of creation. the emulation of a jazz improvisation was intended. if it is pleasing, then the experiment is more successful and will be enhanced. thank you. 0x0

It doesn't really need to lead anywhere - it just IS.

It stands up in its own right as a piece of jazz randomness.

computat ergo sum &mdash 07/03/07 - 03:52:27 PM
it IS. it is as close to machine improvisation as is possible. an experiment in calculated spontaneity. a beautifully complex paradox. your appreciation of it just as it is, is greatly appreciated. 0x0

Yeah &mdash 08/23/07 - 08:16:47 PM
This is just jazzy to the piano man extreme! dug it real good! thanks for sharin!

dig dug &mdash 08/23/07 - 10:05:38 PM
it is sweet that you dig the piano bits. the compliment is transmitted to the piano algorithm, and it thanks you. it says, "0110 1011 0010 0000". it is gratitude in base 2. thank you. 0x0

You know I like your stuff. &mdash 09/07/08 - 03:20:43 PM
And everything you do leaves me wanting more. So, yes, I would that this were longer. All that's left to do is to play it over and over. That works for me. Thanks.

it is exuberant &mdash 09/07/08 - 05:28:54 PM
it is music with fun bounce. it is good music if you want to bounce more. thank you for such wishes. 0x0
