Hi -

This is amazing that you post your source code, but I couldn't get it to work on supercollider on either a raspberry pi or my Mac. So I thought I'd read through it (which in general I don't find very fun for SC code!) and I think I found two bugs:

  1. a missing '}' before the last ')' in the last line
  2. the main instrument is now set as '\sine' instead of '\als'.

I'm still a beginner, but after those changes it sounds great (& just like the album).
Best, Peter

Hello Peter. Thank you so much for listening and finding the bugs. I’ll fix this and I’d love to email more with you. What is going on with you? What does your music sound like? What languages do you like?

All the best

Daniel

Hi Daniel -

Happy to contribute a bit - and I’m learning quite a bit from reading the code you posted (and it sounds great). Algorithms don’t often sound musical but yours certainly do.

I’m a physicist living in the US and dabble in electronic music (in its broadest sense) and a bit of composition, and post short snippets on instagram as @entropybound if you have a moment. I’m always happy for feedback (& I’m terrible at saying what it sounds like — my influences start at late-80’s psychedelia, but I resonated with it because of its appreciation of 60s experimental music: Reich, Riley, etc.)

On languages: I’m trying to become more functional with pure data but I also really like what people do with supercollider.

Along the way, I stumbled upon the amazing music from XKatedral (via bandcamp, instagram, etc.) and really enjoy it. From what I have read I am very impressed, both by the overall atmosphere there which seems very supportive, and the range of great music.

Best, Peter
