New album for digital distribution

[gogins]

I need a whole new album to submit for digital distribution. I have just updated my CD Baby account, and I have submitted Snow-Voice as a single there. However, it will save me money to do an album at a time instead of a piece at a time.

I did a little bit of research and CD Baby still seems like the best way for a composer like me to get my stuff out into the world, and into the streaming services.

I do wish CD Baby accepted higher than CD resolution soundfiles. I have submitted a request for that, no idea if anyone with the power to do anything will read it, or want to do anything. Soundrop does offer higher resolution and I have joined Soundrop

Possible pieces for this album:

• [ ] Piece with imparted harmonies. Possibly a sound walk or a thunder shower.
• [ ] Piece done as cloud-music but selected from the stream.
• [ ] Super-drone with sounds with internals.
• [ ] Piece done using Strudel.
• [ ] Piece done using Strudel with microtonality.
• [ ] A suite (could alternatively be a whole other album) based on the constellations of the Zodiac, taking the stars as data and applying different transformations to that data.

May do this on a distribution service with higher audio resolution. I have created a Soundrop account for Irreducible Productions.

For Soundrop, I will submit HD Audio 96 kHz 24 bits FLAC.

Anyway:

For the new piece based on the Drone IV concept:

• [x] Fill out controls.
• [x] MIcrotonality in Strudel? Yes, in the xen package, but I don't know how to use it or how well it works. But they all wrap at the octave instead of generating from another set of intervals. Available scales listed here: http://abbernie.github.io/tune/scales.html. Usage is simply pat.tune("scale_name").note(), but pat may need to be transposed up from 0, and some scales don't work.
• [ ] Use "Inside the Mandelbulb II" as a music visualizer. Nope, don't yet know to have layers of shaders. Using https://www.shadertoy.com/view/DtsyWl instead. Spectrum should determine hues, loudness should determine values and/or saturation; split frequencies and calculate tilt to apply to hue.
• [ ] Much slower envelopes with overlaps?
• [ ] New Strudel patch (maybe for next piece, though).

Probably not going to albums, just pieces.
