Generative Mandolin and Synth
This piece was written in MaxMSP, and played live by VSTs in Reaper. The music was engineered to pair the mandolin’s melody with the synth’s bass notes in a modern-baroque fashion, with the melody being generated according to a complex yet immediate set of rules. The result is an ever-evolving piece that jumps between keys, scales, and rhythmic patterns.
Generative Oceanic Textures
This piece was written in VCV Rack, the software modular synthesis environment. It is patched up to a controller that I play live to shape the direction of the piece. The instrumentation is for wind, water, fish, seagulls and whales.
