Generative Music

[Non594]

Hey she's in knowyourmeme too! :D

[Sphereal]

I really hate the way that guy talks.

[Expectation247]

ellie, that guy is more into generative abstract noises! to make generative music you have to have a massive understand of music theory!!!!! no one has yet managed a generative thing to make even pop music, let alone jazz imporvissations. if you want to work on my algarythms then i can make a generative program that can make decent pop tunes, i am firly coonfident of that. anyway.

[TRaddcliff]

the still at 2:25 is not sound. thats a still of the old video game Tempest.

[TRaddcliff]

talk to Curtis Roads!

[urmumsbaps]

This guy created jitter, and all anyone cares about is the girl? She is pretty hot though.

[francoraggio09]

hothothotohothothot

[system3142]

Ellie's name wasn't always Ellie...

[BigAndTall666]

Ellie RULES, that´s t-h-e fact! :-)

[cobolt13]

Your so hot

[testuser202]

HAWT!

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[sufoodse]

degenerate music

[JosephCheetah]

She said 'Oral' a lot.

[Uktrayf]

Aural.

[erdal0]

does anyone listen to what shes saying?

[gernak00]

Okay, all of that just went right over my head. Very interesting, though

[artlthepolarbear]

yes her tits are very interesting

[gernak00]

Oh, um, okay..? I hadn't really noticed... *now cant help but stare*

[artlthepolarbear]

what?

[Gregorz]

when she talks it looks like she's fucking dancing around

[sagiras]

one big comerciall.... -.-"

[GERdeathstar]

Ellie > Molly

[faceoffkang]

Ellie=Molly

[GERdeathstar]

@faceoffkang

PARADOX

[maikobot]

I Love Electroplankton! So glad you know about that.

[fusionrock666]

she is beatiful!

[himerius2007]

this was pretty unimpressive.

[egg9man]

hahahaha

[LuckyViolinist]

How come when you speed something up, the pitch also rises-- why can't we speed something up without increasing the pitch?

[demonology1]

you can do that, if youre good with software

[Arachidon99]

@ LuckyViolinist

When you speed something up, you compress sound waves so you can play them in a shorter period of time. This means you decrease the length of the wave, but when you do that, you also increase the frequency (as they are inversely proportional). And when the frequency goes up, you have a higher pitch.

And you can in fact change the speed without changing the pitch. Try open-source Audacity for example. But there is lots of other software.

[godshiva]

You can - you can change the pitch or the tempo in just about any software package. But if you try to modify it too much, it won't sound right. But 25% of either without the other is fine generally.

[dzikiewicz]

we can do that, there are programs that change the tempo of things, kind of like changing the speed, but it wont raise the pitch

[sonyfucker]

MOAR KNOW YOUR MEME

[mbonnar]

Great episode!

[1trip711]

hipster scum

[hollowneck]

LOL

It seems he's not really sure about anything?

Everything he says goes up at the end?

Like it's a question?

Even when it's a statement?

Anyway, he's not really doing anything that sounds any different to what has been done before?

Seems he's using a "new" method of making sounds that anyone could have made on a regular computer & readily available software10+ years ago?

That's my opinion?

Sorry, I get really annoyed by the question inflection?

[diamonddragoniori]

ok this guy is weird.....seriously.....

[RichoRosai]

"I didn't actually record your voice, I just plotted it."

That means you recorded it you pretentious moron.

[beb4x]

he just ment that he didn't record it in the traditional fation, rather than recording the voice, he recorded the data

[peterbriers]

it's kinda the same actually. When you record something digitally, it always will "plot" the data.

[mundoexchange]

I just want to say you are right.

[MrCaltec]

As with any sound manipulation, to what ever extreme its taken, the most important part is the source of that sound, and degree the manipulator decides to put himself in it. I would not call it music. At least not in this case. Nice programs though.

[MADE1NVIETNAM]

ellie looks good

[96dnibrats]

when she said 'oral' i was thinking 'yea.. i'd like some from ya'

yessssssss 8]

[RobSellsTacos]

..aural

[CBrook5]

1:46 ...someone looks like a serial killer.

[MrBloodyknee]

Woo I knew she would eventually mention electroplankton, its the coolest game for DS

[bmacked]

THis is why I love Rocketboom. Not only is it bamf information, but the exposure to artists, expressive forms, and in such a user friendly way, it's unbelievably exciting. I look forward to rocketboom's broadcasts daily. Kudos from Seattle!

[roidroid]

People in the P5 Glove community (a cheap virtual reality glove) seem to use MAX to do live performances using the glove.

But the audio/visual thing isn't really my scene, so this video was enlightening. I'd never really seen MAX in action before.

I liked that visual programming thing he's using at 3:10. Is that what MAX is based around? I like it, very simple and intuitive. Reminds me a lot of the "Juice" robot simulator by NateW.

[minuteforce]

so, that's like an X-Y pad, basically ...

[1x800xPOCKETS]

Is that the Fancy Pants Adventure song?

[roboimp]

that is really cool

[m0r1arty]

I know Ellie will have done some research before going to the interview and so her grasping the concept of the image of her voice was a bit understated in terms of audience comprehension- but a little vote of who knows what that means would be nice to substantiate this.

And in keeping with the theme of 'Ellie is hot' the number of babies you would have with her can be added to your vote.

So for me it's Yes (I understood the voice image ) and 2 (babies - a boy and a girl, or 2 hermaphrodites).

[r0ck0ut16]

This is the coolest thing ever.

[Llitsor]

How predictable. Put a woman within a mile of the internet, and a million school boys wet themselves.

So, generative music anyone!?

[Falcon1499]

Ellie's a "10" !!

[SevereRepugnance]

Elle's hot and interesting clip.

[s4101012]

Why are people calling her twitchy? She's being animated and expressive in her presentation...

[partykrew666]

shes just expressive or animated. i wouldnt call it twitchy

[JJloveKiwi]

she looks like an older miranda cossgrove xD

[partykrew666]

holy crap

[UltimateRuler3]

She really does look like Miranda Cossgrove

[MrFluffay]

you just read the mind of every person watching this video

[ruagamer]

Hearing a song that didn't sound completely dissonant would have been nice... and I don't get why all that tech was necessary to play Messiah in Fast Forward...

[soccermafia89]

Maybe she's all twitchy because she's nervous.

I wonder what the Mandelbrot set would sound like. Though instead of using a high-tech software program, I might just try weed.

And what is the point of expressing sound as a 3-D image...Any one who understands Fourier series, knows that there are simpler ways to express music as a summation of sine waves.

[wildboy92004]

I would take Ellie's voice and make it say naughty words back at me...lol.

[MrFluffay]

I assume this reply is a hotdog.

[AKACalh00n]

she reminds me of an older miranda cosgrove

[Scarfaced111]

cool

[NakedJKid]

stay still woman. always twitching!!!

[BigAndTall666]

Damn, you´re gorgeous Ellie! ;-P

[lpasepok]

I hate how my ideas never are unique :(

[TheLonelyImmortal]

She would be so hot if she got rid of her makeup!

[Z14LDO]

ohh wooww! =D

[ModeLTU]

Ellie seems to be one of those genuine "nerd" girls.

Most girls as hot as Ellie would be trying to show their assets as much as possible trying to attract more viewers, but she seems to truly care about this stuff.

INTERESTING!

[Theshayeman]

assets... tehee

[csmceo]

I admire her acting talent as well, ModeLTU.

[csmceo]

Ellie moves like she has some kind of disorder. I'm going to crusade for a cure for it...who's with me!

[sumgui]

@csmceo nope, looks like its just you... tell me how that goes aye?

[csmceo]

You got it!

[wildboy92004]

Well, if she was moving wierd it's only because I was 'with' her the night before.

[csmceo]

Well I hope you took care of whatever it is that you gave her while you were "with" her.

[wildboy92004]

No, ppl didn't get the joke. She's moving weird cuz I wore her out. :)

[Ryguy1450]

What software is that? Hook it up!

[joejumps4fun]

I love how they don't give web addresses for the software they mention.

[demonslayer55555585]

I know I should write down something more "Intellectual" but damn is this girl hot I mean she could make a man's head spin around!

[httprover]

What happens if you mix generative grammar with media lab?

[Probewitch]

Programs to play with sound; does it still classify as music, or I should think, fall into the catagory of performance art.

[WERTY1112]

had me at oral

[jinkies121]

nice =P

[newbalancerun04]

Ellie is gorgeous!!! :)

[mattblack77nz]

@newbalancerun04 Yup, she could sell uranium tablets and I'd buy 100!

[Feilongy]

God damn shes hot

[yoshypoo]

shes hot...but needs to get a better top

[Tibotot]

hahaha!! I kinda had the same thought.

[skoddyboy]

Wow! Great show today! Generative music is super interesting. Haha he used the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's performance of the Hallelujah Chorus. That's awesome. Thanks Rocketboom.

[Syntox]

Ellie, oh, She is so cute. I wanna take her to Dairy Queen for milkshakes and tell her stories of the high seas.

[Tanikaze2]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[MustRunFaster]

LOL!

[GrimReaperGamer]

I'd just like to give her a "milkshake".

[matkakashi]

Looking good Ellie!

[PlayGenSeriousGames]

really boring! bring back Molly!

[goodman854]

DO NOT DIS ELLIE!

[matkakashi]

@PlayGenSeriousGames Molly is still there, this is just a different series.

[sn3ar]

thats cool

[ThisIsCleverUsername]

i don't understand what he did at 1:25, somebody tell me pls

[RufftaMan]

as she said right afterwards.

he didn't actually create a recording of her voice, but used the microphone input to generate the 3d-spectrogram, which when played back sounds (of course) exactly like her voice again.

however, i don't really get what the big advantage of this method compared to just making a recording is.

[T1carus]

music cannot be made wiith a computer...

[ostrorawr]

That's quite an eloquent point you make there.

[0YuriS0]

talentless.

[TaoOfPhilosophy]

This is awesome; science meets art.

[fandanstan]

And after reading most of the comments, I've noticed they had nothing to do with Generative Music, but they were about Ellie's epic hotness. LOL

[fandanstan]

I swear she looks like that elf chick from LOTR.

[Nirdjha]

Ok - NO idea what I just watched - but she sure is cute! She maybe a little Irish? Irish with some Asian thrown in somewhere?

[mickek77]

random atonal crap is going to the top five hits 2009

[seed419]

How about I fuck the shit out of you, then we scan the soundwaves of your moans and make some sweet generative music.

[jimirounders]

Boy, she's got the most beautifull nose i've ever seen!

[HollyTheFireNinja]

She reminds me of Morena Baccarin. Reminds, not look like.

[ThisguyQuake]

She's no Molly :(

[drywater2k]

wow i thought she was gonna do that guy the entire time...gotta stop watching porno

[TBVnBIX]

can't focus to what she's saying :< anyone has this problem? :D

[PureRebelM1ko]

..or microsia for pc.

[TomHendricksMusea]

I've suggested that you set music to PI. Transform 3.14159.. to a set of 9 notes. This is truly a song of nature.

[Underdogz]

Damn, she IS pretty!

[banido]

She's the future mother of my children, all 12 of them.

[JBTheAnimator]

But isn't that fast forward play with that clip he just made?

Thats actually pretty simple -_-

Or i just don't get it ^_^;;

[ksandom40]

JBTheAnimator, I noticed that too. What he described wouldn't sound anything like that. I wonder if he was wanting to keep something for later...?

[enjoydotcom]

I'm happy I subscribed to Rocketboom, learn something new with every video. :d

[r000nin]

yoooo

[rayza]

trippy stuff

[LivingForLOL]

That smile in the end was funny!!

[Rooney10Nani17]

Shes Hawt

[chrisquick123451966]

cool as always RB

[VicarOpusDei]

has any one ever told this chick she is amazingly beautiful. I mean she is one really pretty girl, the fact that she is smart is just and addition to the many qualities that complement her. any way great info. Love the channel guys! now you guys have one more humble subscriber.

[SNaRF66666666]

max looks like a weak language.

[ZZLe4Ni]

I agree.

I like to build software synths with synth edit, it's a pretty cool little free package, but it's a fucking beast to learn.

[kajoong]

This was quite interesting!

[Enoch001]

fun fun

[defect530]

I love music!!!!

except country and rap @:D

[rax2099]

cool

[GIMMEZ]

wooh
