Month: April 2008
instructionset
A brand new website:
http://instructionset.org/
The idea is that every month some instructions appear and passersby add
their implementations in code.
Please let me know of bugs / omissions / ideas!
Rhythm space
I’m working with Jamie Forth on ideas around spaces of rhythm. Here’s a demo (which might not work in feed readers):
The space has two quality dimensions, “intensity” (X) and “disorder” (Y). Drum patterns are arranged along these dimensions, so more intense ones are towards the left and more ordered ones towards the top.
Draw a line from a high hat to a kick drum. If you draw a short line the rhythms will be more homogenous. Certain angles have certain feels to them. Maybe. It seems a nice way of playing with polymetric rhythms as vectors anyway.
The demo by the way is coded in haxe and compiled to flash. The source code is here.
