I’m giving it serious thought. it’s a political mess whether weed is helping people chill or making it more difficult to just chill.
Ry ur such a crazy guy, yukno they call it the devils lettuce for a reason
This is amazing lloyd ! wonder how long it took
I think someone mentioned it’s done with MaxMSP, so I’m guessing you can input any video/image (maybe lower res/monochrome) and it’ll render it on pianoroll, it’s sick regardless

Yeah it almost looks like some touchdesigner/Max integration

Oh okay, still visually pleasing AF just not as impressive as if somebody had sequenced / placed each note by hand… which i guess is bull shit as does it reaally matter how long it takes to make art >!?

An algorithm is no different to any other tool really, generative art is a vibe when the output is ‘magical’, if that makes sense lol

The integration of so many different data types into a pleasing output IS the art imo

Only had 3 hours sleep the other night exploring old Reaktor builds i made literally 20 years ago, so much fun revisiting old insane logic i came up with, especially with new samples and with a whole new perspective, could have got fucked and played with it for 24 hrs min if i didn’t have dad duty

It is a vibe regardless of how it’s made i agree ! just the aut/art/ist in me is like oh it’s cheating ! but irl it doesent matter

would be sick to see you pull some of those old reaktor builds out!
im working on a pretty cool project right now, cant say too much about it because of NDA vibes, but on a basic level its a a touchdesigner/unreal engine integration using realtime lidar scanning going into touchdesigner to control unreal

I’ll make a lil video of one of the machines when I have time, there was a phase where I wanted to streamline the controls so hard, one of them is just an X/Y touchpad and a button to randomise (within acceptable parameters) all controls the touchpad is affecting. lol. So wanky

designing the controls/interface is the most fun part lol, can get proper mad scientist on it
im still shocked you havent delved deep into TD yet tho, such insane software
1 BigUp
I installed it and then had a kid, gimme 2-4 more years
just put a Kinect camera looking at the crib so you can use the point data in TD while you work and also make sure its still alive or w.e

Got arpeggiators on 2 diff hats in the new drum sampler in a drum rack. Trynna record midi output in another channel but it’s just recording the non arpegiated version 
the knowledge you see…some know and they will help but I can’t because I don’t know. (Also, sometimes they don’t help). Today’s modular jam was s***. For the same reason like I can’t figure out certain configuration chains.
I’ve been up 36 hours now working on stuff. When I enjoy I got locked in for time. Always learn new stuff and put it into practice. You’ll get configurations chains Ry wetf that is. Lay off the weed and retain the knowledge man of god ry, Jesus loves you

This is literally the first symptom of psychosis
