These are great -- you guys are great musicians. Musically, this
reminds me _very_ much of a "piece" (which is never the same twice) I
started performing when in high school, which I called the Saturnian
National Anthem. In fact, to within the statistical uncertainty of
what the Saturnian National Anthem actually is, I'd say your improvs
actually _are_ a performance of the Saturnian National Anthem! (Have
you visited my home planet of Saturn lately?)

Yes, my wife is from Saturn, and we honeymooned there. I bet that's
where the influence came from!

Hey John, is there any chance you can get any of the MAD DUXX
material up on mp3.com? I've been able to put up files in excess of
20MB there. It would help people get a handle on the irrational music-
creative anything-goes side of my personality, as opposed to the
analytical/critical side that gets overexposed on these fora and
tends to rub people the wrong way. Thanks!

Paul-

Email me privately with the starting and ending times of a few of your
favorite sections, and I will put them on the Punks.

Yeah this is nicely chaotic Stearns! Reminds me of Spike Jones as
much as Ives!

Hello all,

This autumn is the official conclusion of my MA and commencement of
doctoral stuff, (when I'll be focusing on implementing Erv Wilson's
work!), and so I thought this would be a good time to present
recordings from this past year. Comments, compliments and criticisms
are all welcome...

'An Unusual Ensemble' - audio installation
cmbryan.com/section1.ogg

My first steps in using combi-prod sets as aleatoric harmony
generators, providing a realtime score for a small ensemble of virtual
instruments in a 360-degree space. Also my first use of the
hebdomekontany, a 70-tone set. The "performance" continues
indefinitely, with no beginning, middle, or end, and no looping; this
is just a short sample of one possible outcome. A cd-length recording
is also available. I've found it's nice to listen attentively for a
few minutes, then let it continue in the background until you feel
like listening again.

'Dialogue for 19-tone trumpet and computer' - interactive
cmbryan.com/Dialogue_hi.ogg
cmbryan.com/Dialogue_lo.ogg

This is a collaboration with Stephen Altoft, who has a trumpet adapted
to play in 19-edo. The computer takes realtime samples from the
trumpet and creates harmonic textures and other computer-ish things.
It ended up having a pretty wide expressive range, which I liked.

'A Great Crossing' - fixed media
cmbryan.com/a_great_crossing.ogg
cmbryan.com/a_great_crossing_lo.ogg
cmbryan.com/a_great_crossing.mp3

This one uses the eikosany, and I tried to balance formalized
'progressions' (really more like 'transgressions') with sections that
are much less structured. This one's really long and ambient, best
for a quiet evening with the lights down :)

Apologies for the ogg-impaired, I'll try to upload mp3s for the first
two later today.

Thanks for listening!

Hi Chris,

I like the audio installation very much. The other I don't really comprehend.

Hi Chris

I'd be interested to hear what you're planning to cover in your Erv Wilson related doctorate.

The 'Unusual Ensemble' is probably a good taster: basically, I would
like to use the computer to plumb the depths of intricate systems,
like the hebdo. I expect to find interesting techniques that arise
from the combination of the medium + the theory. For instance, in the
Ensemble I used probabilities to decide the harmonic progression: in
the current chord, shaped like a constellation, certain notes will
give birth to related notes, which will cause others to die off, and
the whole thing sort of aimlessly wanders around...

But anyway, enough description :)

Something else which might be of interest to tuning heads is that I
lifted the cps factors from a tonality diamond, rather than from pure
harmonics. It was just an experiment that immediately sounded really
good to me, but I haven't explored the concept any further yet.
