Just some random thoughts about the Meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything

“Dark Ambient” or “Noise Music“? I’m not sure!

Last week, a new collection of my compositions was released on major music streaming services.

Yes, the title is an hommage to the science fiction short story by British author Arthur C. Clarke, which was used as a starting point for the 1968 novel and film ”2001: A Space Odyssey”.

In a previous post, I’ve talked about the idea of go back to record some songs using real instruments.
On my new LP ”Singularity”, published on major streaming services today, I’ve recorded a lot of real instruments in disguise.

“Fish Tank” is the title of my new EP, released last week on all major streaming services.

“I devoted my life to music for a reason, and the reason wasn’t because I wanted to get on or make money, but to try to fulfil myself and also to give people pleasure” – Julian Bream (15 July 1933 – 14 August 2020)

From Wikipedia:

”A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a significant release of plasma and accompanying magnetic field from the solar corona. They often follow solar flares and are normally present during a solar prominence eruption. The plasma is released into the solar wind, and can be observed in coronagraph imagery.“

I know: lately I’m often experimented AI-aided music composition, as well algorithmic generated melodies.

In the past weeks, I’ve already written about some funny experiments that i made first with music and machine learning, then with music composed using pseudo-random algorithms.

In a previous post, I have talked about a python script used to generate random music starting from a single number (a “seed”).

So, today I’d like to share with you pyScho.
