THO-X
Already in my studying years, beside of learning styles and "instances of frozen notes", I asked myself frequently how figures move, how they can be described as moves in tonal fields, along triads, grids, abstract down and ups and so on. In 2001, I wrote a concept called "Harmo-Kinetics", a big name, today I should be happy when I'll totally get it one day.
Finally, it is not about harmony, it' about figures, or moves and shapes, or….
(to me, it‘s a question like „wave or particle“)
I picked up this topic in 2010, starting drom harmonically pimping up NI Reaktor's note sequencers, three years later ending in a cellular conditional decentral modular sequencer system, with…and…and…and 120 pages User guide.
Most of the problems to solve didn't have any musical aspect, I got the meaning of the word "logical", it was a big challenge, a kind of personal „Do-X“, but at the end I got my big lab for notes, relations and conditions what I had been looking for.
I asked just one company, I realized, wether it's ready or not, I need some "analogue" music to get re-balanced. It was a good decision.
Conclusions:
-Happy to have done this, otherwise I still had to do it
-if you'll ever see me on stage with a laptop and a midi controller, it's surely about this:-)
-Sorry, no download (>1000 h work!)
-Machines can‘t tell a story.
Plans:
-Machine needs a rebuild in object-orientated code (classes!)
