SuperCollider Improvisation

This is a lot of fun

@tomasmasatomuhrbeck

how bout programming a virtual instrument, dumbass?

[penguicold]

sounds like a dentist office

[kickofighto]

Boy! We, as a group, might not smell great...

[WARDISWARD]

21 century get together join the digital campfire

[WolfThane]

6:00< Is awesome.

[emarum]

what a bunch of geeks!

[midinerd]

imagine the likelihood of all of them leaving home and doing it in the same room at the same time though. I'm actually kind of serious about that... this type of thing never happens, I assume it was a workshop or the end of the semester in a class. would be fun! just not very... sexual... whatsoever.

[psicodelio]

Horrible, lo peor es que se atreven a aplaudir al final. En serio la disociación que causa la tecnología es mucha, pura sintáctica y cero semántica. Lo que provoca es robarlos a todos y usar el dinero obtenido para hacer un trabajo serio de verdad.

Claro es feo, sino es todavia musica? Teneis razon, pero el desarrollo de technologia, y mas importante, de musica no funcionará sin estos experimentos que podrían ser considerados "fracasos"... en mi opinion, "punk", era lo peor musica en la historia! sino, fue tambien uno de las influencias mas destacadas en historia!!

[psicodelio]

Ojalá de esto surja algo como el punk, pero sinceramente a esta gente se le ve el mismo compromiso político que uno puede ver en una papa pegada con chicle a un caracol.

[mspubquiz83]

actually this is quite decent noise

6:30

[mspubquiz83]

its a tool for doing stuff with, it depends on who's using it. thats all you can say.

[ConstantThrust]

Finally, "DMV: the Musical"!!!

[amplex1337]

too bad that with that many programmers that theres no way the sounds could have meshed well enough to sound decent unless they each took on a specific frequency/amplitude range, i guess the point of this experiment is to see how many cool random sounds you can make at one time? maybe this is the future of music?? lol =x

[midinerd]

yeah depends on the crowd. One good thing for improv groups is to, before, introduce a few devices like - when to raise your volume into perception, and when to lower it out of it. we had improv groups that respected privacy (this was with acoustic stuff) and I had computer groups where the teacher didn't introduce that simple thing... and it's definitely better when it's pointed out however obvious it may be. I feel ya though, and I agree with the bandpass-each-person thing.

[audiolemon]

It's gets kind of decent in the middle.

[MincentValloy]

this is like geek heaven... beautiful... although a nice PA is missing

[chrisflatline]

this is truly depressing

[HansHackfresse]

so....ummmm......what are these people doing actually....?

[nebula32]

this is incredible

[PDJMDS]

If this was wired up to a massive PA in a shopping mall it would be good.

[Draftgon]

Great description, it really looks like a PARTY after all. Everyone is so hyping.

Why do mac users believe they are so artistic?

[gwohlproductions]

Wow... do you even have any idea what's going on in this video? OSX is the preferred platform for SuperCollider, so please do not profile Mac users like that. SuperCollider is an extremely progressive and ahead-of-its-time approach to making electronic music. As SC is also native on Linux, you'll notice some non-macs in this video too if you took your head of out of your ass for a change.

[MincentValloy]

i couldnt reply better than this

[digimaton]

"extremely progressive and ahead-of-its-time"??

I think you need to qualify that statement; then again, you have stated one of the reasons people jump on the SC bandwagon, they believe it is "extremely progressive" to do so, and of course, every one wants to be seen to be "extremely progressive" irrespective of the crap they are making with it. And, it certainly is not "ahead-of-its-time" - considering it has been about for 10 years and owes much to the computer music legacy it draws upon.

[gwohlproductions]

Where to begin? First of all, I didn't say people used SC to be progressive. I simply said it was progressive. Proof? What a softball - musical JIT programming (a la Smalltalk), real-time garbage collection, coroutines (only ChucK supports this also, which came after SC), full currying support, representation of musical variables in other abstractions... I could go on, but it should be apparent that SC features a multitude of things distinct from other languages.

[digimaton]

if I'm not mistaken, real-time garbage collection, coroutines, on-the-fly programming etc. were all possible using LISP - for example - and I'm sure you know how old that is. SC was novel in it's application of this stuff in the AV domain. Chuck, as you mention, and Impromptu, offer similar usability, both of which are arguably more progressive than SC in how they do things.

[JoeOnTheRoad]

I'm sorry I don't know what you guys are doing can you explain, looks pretty kool though. Thanks.

[shatminer]

nice idea, but, yknow, could've gone to the effort of bringing a mixer with LOTS of channels and at least some decent monitors

[Sulleric]

it would really be cool if you could actually hear the sound

[FlappyDraws]

ahhahahahahah

WHAT>?

Macs ARE for gaywads after all!

[GetIntuit]

[mspubquiz83]

Hello mrshiz,

no one was synchronized afaik

the limit was, you just had to use one type of sound source, a single sample impulse oscillator, which unfortunately sounds kind of like those little clicks u hear in headphones when u plug / unplug them.

[mrshiz111]

Were everyone's computer's synced or were people primarily unsynchronized noise?
