truly loving this, great work, from the concept to the actual acoustic result, impatient to show this to my son to convince him, again, about the fact we can hear the beauty of mathematics, bravo Zack
this looks externally interesting Zack. I much prefer it when things can go to extreme settings rather than limiting to 'useful' ranges, so thank you for that i will be picking this up. Is it possible to have this reset after a given number of beats, would that just be as simple as just stopping and resending the note after say 32 quarter notes ? Or is there a reset function ? Thanks
Thanks :) It's a Keith McMillen K-Board Pro 4. It's a full MPE controller -- velocity, pressure, slide, bend, velo off per key. It's pretty neat to make use of the MPE features with instruments. Only downside IMO is that the keys don't move, so for a real player it may be disconcerting.
@@zsteinkamp Indeed. By combining a few small integers in a manner inspired by a tricky-to-pronounce French word meaning 'watery or wavelike', musical pieces have been created of such gargantuan length that they vastly exceed the time span from the event misleadingly know as 'The Big Bang' to the heat death of the universe. Mind-boggling!
Your "ceiling tiles" and other visual patterns are a caused by displaying your patterns on a display which has an insufficient number of pixels, not by the musical patterns themselves. Just to be clear. The sounds themselves seem useful maybe for certain movie themes to convey confusion or erratic activity, but not much else. Like equal spaced scales (chromatic whole tone, aug, dim etc), their lack of structural differences does not give the listener anything to hook onto. I wonder if the moire could be modified to use note spacing within an interesting scale, instead of just chromatically.
Yes of course the visual connection isn't 1:1 with the sonic one, but the core concept is the same -- an imposition of an arbitrary second order of organization on top of a primary order. It's not intended as anything more than a demonstration of number patterns, so I guess using it for your next concerto is out then eh? Pairing it with a scale-aware scale device would be one way to do what you're suggesting, and is what I do in the videos.

❤🙏🏻
yet another one. brilliant work, zack. and thanks again for sharing it with the world
Happy to set it free!:)
This is absolutely fascinating! I can't wait to give this a try. 👍
Can't wait to hear what you do with it! :)
Sounding like Steve Reich with a few clicks. I love it!
Lol I had a similar thought the first time I heard that +5 semitone pattern too. "Uhh Steve Reich called and he wants his composition tools back." :D
Fascinating exploration, thanks!

Sharing our enthusiasm with kids is one of the best things we can do :)
Awesome
awesome. thank you!
excellent !!
Very cool
cool!
You know it will be a good video when it is about a shower idea.
So true! The wall mounted fountain of ideas.
sounds like the music in the new zelda games

Yep, it restarts on note-on. Simple as that. 😊
Any chance to filter the notes with scales in the future?
Perhaps one day, but in the meantime it's easy enough to put a Scale device right after it to accomplish the same thing, ya?
Cool!
What keyboard is on your desk?

so this is the music playing in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: th-cam.com/video/bAF35dekiAY/w-d-xo.html
And it still hasn't repeated! :D

Yeah, I was expecting something where the audio was related to the interference pattern. From what I understand it's otherwise just a huge polyrhythm.
