the shape of music

During the process of adapting the sonome layout onto my monome, I wrote some software to help me locate common patterns. This video explains and demonstrates the layout and software. If this doesn't make much sense, just relaxen und watchen der blinkenlichten...

Very nice SW!

I think you should try to dissolve the figures with a game of live algorithm. New played notes trigger new figures in the running game...

Not quite sure how it would work at the moment, but that is an intriguing idea.

[Tommekens]

what chords are you using at 1:56 - 2:07 ??

thanks ,

Tom

Sounds like Cm9 Dm9 Ebmaj9 Dm9 Cm9 Cmaj9 Cm9

cheers

Just my take: if a person has little to no theory behind them, this would be ideal for making jazz progressions by way of "hunt and peck". On the flip side, if a person has a lifetime of theoretical chord knowledge, an instrument like this could be extremely challenging. Again, just my take.

Looks fantastic - very clever system! Now we just need to see you making use of some of those novel chord layouts to play some more music *on* the monome ;)

Btw, I don't know why you need to apologise for your voice - it's quite pleasant to listen to actually!

I don't know if you realize it, but this is an 8 stringed guitar!

[drdrangonbreath]

nice demo, but "mess around with some blues"?? that was some pretty jazzy blues man.

sweet man - I was hoping the c-thru layout had been made onto the monome - is your patch or code or whatever on the monome site?

I'm building my arduinome right now - & I wanna jam with something like that straight up
