Creating a 15-channel generative melody in Symbolic Sound's Kyma 7.
I edited some pitches from the Schlappi Engineering Interstellar Radio into loops, and mushed some nature sounds together using Kyma's SampleClouds. Now, by putting an amplitude generator on these two loops I can create a hybrid musical instrument of these two sounds. Take 15 pitches, 15 patterns of envelope, and send it to 15 speakers and we've got some Brian-Eno-style generative music with a constantly changing timbre.
This work was for my piece "Perspectives of Place" for Rolling Ryot's Ghost Line X Project (more information here: rollingryot.net/ghost-line-x)
