that cat the cat has a vague explanation. the algorithm here sets each song sample to be 98% as long as the previous one. so there is a sort of acceleration going on - though it's not gravitational, it's exponential decay - i was thinking it's sort of like falling off a building - but the math is wrong, and cats reach their terminal velocity fairly quickly, so it's pretty far off analogy-wise... an exponential speed up wouldn't be as fun to listen to i think.

that was really cool. nicely edited. for your next trick will you be recording each of those songs in their entirety? very clever, I must say. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

. hmmm, how do i say this nicely? all these songs are already entire. i should explain. i had serious insomnia recently, and while not sleeping, i randomly thought about creating a song that is built out of snippets of all my MacJams submissions. not able to sleep, i planned out what it should do. the next time i had some spare time i wrote a program that did the following: 1. find all my songs in iTunes and make a list 2. randomly mix the list 3. find the loudest part in each song 4. grab a short sample of each song surrounding the loudest part 5. chain the samples together 6. gradually reduce the length of each sample so that the rate they switch gets faster and faster 7. repeat until the samples are very short then i mixed in a reverb blast, a recording of rain and thunder, and some rambling nonsense about life, the universe, and everything. that's how this song was created. (on a personal level, hearing this is a real trip. i recognize each song as they flash by, and all the emotions and work behind each one strobes in briefly. it's like seeing one's life flash before one's eyes i suppose. no one but me can ever experience this particular trip. maybe some of my fans will get an inkling of it... what does it mean? i have not a clue.)

??? hmmm, how do i say this nicely? dude, you are a freak. that is an incredible task that you undertook. now that i have some background info, it's more like performance art than musical composition. very cool. now i have to go through your entire catalog again and see what i can recognize. i can't believe that you wrote a program to do that. i'm still having problems with my new mic.

99..... samples from other tracks? Interesting listening experience, this. There is a certain unifying principle underlying all these songs, some common mood, yet the jump from one to the next is sometimes considerable. Wild, man, wild. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

. well, it's my 98 prior songs that are sampled. this one makes it 99. once it picks up speed, it starts repeating shorter versions of the same samples. i'm pleased with what the algorithm created. finding the loudest part of each song seems an effective heuristic for finding something "interesting" from each. thanks for listening Check out my latest song called One For Me

. thanks! that's my experience too. a very strange experiment this one. maybe i could interest some other MacJammers to try running this program on their portfolio... ever hear that song "but the cat came back?" it always does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_the_Cat_Came_Back Check out my latest song called One For Me

bud
what you were up to. What I don't understand is what it has to do with falling cats.
A fun listen.
