    Crypto & Music

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    2012 was a great time to buy bitcoin! I wish I did that early Lol.  Ultra.io is based on EOS iirc, but this is not about any platform, it is about digital or virtual assets, it can be an item in the game, or a creative idea, a sample you made or a piece of melody and so on. I agree with that a lot of projects are scams or money laundering plans, but there are some legit DAO/communities, I mean if we utilize these new tech well we may make the community more self-sustainable, at least WATMM probably won't need to ask members to donate.

    So I have been following crypto for a while, and just curious about how many people here are familiar with cryptocurrency like bitcoin and ethereum. The crypto art (programmable art NFT) market is gaining momentum right now, and to the music, I first think of this community for its open mind and creativity, so if there is a means to help home-producers/labels/gear collectors/fans to showcase their work or tokenize your collection or creativity and at the same time you can earn some cryptocurrencies, will you be interested?

    after a few days of listen, elseq2 is now my favorite, c7b2 is fierce, chimer I can keep listening to second half forever, elyc6 0nset grows on me a lot, it sounds kind of very exotic middle east hippie psyche to me, even reminds me of Alejandro Jodorowsky's holy mountain and el topo, like a surrealistic one man adventure without end

    any real guesses on why warp have been completely silent on this so far? other than the streams.. no release page, no news post, newsletter.. nothing on their facebook, etc.

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing. There's got to be some reason. Like maybe this well develop into something bigger somehow over the next few days?

     

    yeah, I somehow feel like this isn't all that's coming

     

     

    feel the same about this.... there is nothing about elseq on warp website and twitter ... how come this happen, there should be somethi n g e l s e

    Hardware reverb

    I'm looking for a Quadraverb (vanilla) but might be able to go for a Quadraverb 2 for the same price. did some of you could compare those two reverbs? according to a quick internet search Q2 should be cleaner, more versatile. I fear it lacks character in comparison to the original one, which might be noisier but is apparently a classic (which I guess means there's a special character to it).

     

    what does watmm think?

    I did the same search several years ago, and found most of the people get the Quadraverb plus instead for maintaining the character while getting more features.

    another question, do you guys read magazines or website related to science or math the like to see the new or current technology maybe applicable to your music?

     

    Since I liked your music, I have been reading a lot about math, programming and interesting science stuff, haha :w00t: , no other musician get me to do that, and I think that is a wonderful experience, your music really make me learn a lot, and I start to experiment my own generative stuff now and that is fun! thank you autechre!

    Max/MSP

    i too am disappointed by the FFT quality in Max/MSP. I was toying with it for years and never got the results i was looking for.

    Probably the best example of Max/msp in full effect is Tetsu Inoue's Yolo album. It's not musical in the traditional sense but he uses the DSP processing features of max to their fullest, taking advantage of the subtle edits and glitches you can get it from it with a lot of automation and sample tables. As far as making more straight forward music with it, i don't think it's very good for that. You'd get a lot more mileage out of it using it in conjunction with Ableton via Max4live.

     

    I prefer for Reaktor for an actual musical approach, and i'll delve into Max usually only if i've hit a wall with Reaktor's processing abilities. For example Max has Jitter which opens up a whole world that Reaktor doesnt have, like using a webcam to process sound or turning visual data into sound and vice versa.

    agree with you that Max really excels in interactive things, but for fft we'd better get a kyma, too expensive though... thanks for the recommendation, I haven't find the yolo album but listening to other albums, love it!

     

    if you dont know it already: http://www.rajatheresidentalien.net/learnugood/

     

    the first tutorial should give you a lot to think about the sampling possibilities in max. some of the patches are a little overladen maybe but still that guy knows his stuff!! i use a lot of phasor~/wave~ based sampling techniques-- once you learn how you can drive everything by control signals theres A LOT of possibilities...

     

    have fun!

    Thanks for sharing the tutoria! just downloaded the file, will check it out on the 1st day of 2013 :w00t:

    Reason + Reaktor + Max can be very good IMO, you can get a lot of interesting stuff if you know how to use reaktor and Max right, but that is the hardest part.

     

     

    I have similar question on the Max Msp, I have been messing around Max for a while, but I still have the question: how do you use Max for making music?

     

    things I tried:

     

    processing sample, I made some simple granular processing patches but I found it doesn't sound good, I mean the sound quality, at least not as good as some dedicated samplers like machfive.

     

    FFT, tried some FFT patches I found online, I'd say I am quite disappointed, doesn't sound good as well, I did adjust the bin size.

     

    Sequencer and midi stuff, this is the only thing I currently use Max for, step sequencer, midi automation, realtime control, generative midi note...

     

    Can anyone provide any insight about what else Max can do for making music? Or prove the sample processing and FFT in Max can sound pretty good, I get the bad result only because my programing sucks?

    how many aleatoric patches have they created by now? they could just change a few settings and pump out a whole new album just as bad ass. AE are lucky they do the aleatoric style music. Aphex has to write melodies which takes inspiration. I love AE but i think its half machine music, literally

    it will be more difficult and need more inspiration to write an algorithm and use it to generate a good mMMEeelLLLlloodYYyyyyY,
