new piece for string quartet

[Orange]

Hi,

i've uploaded a new piece who is a direct output of scom without edit.

http://soundcloud.com/sboussuge/noisestudy

it's a study on noises mapping, use a lot the asymmetric noise and other…

Hi, sounds like The Masters themselves! Now … what are those secret recipes you mentioned :-)

It is your special composition knowledge of course … but maybe you can still share something about score section structures that you used, about general architecture?

So, the general architecture is definitively made "by the grace" of excellent def-section system (class system) of scom.

I've basically design a section Master template and use it for each section of the piece but feeded with different material.

here my template:

I guessed that you were using lots of sections ;-)

;;Harmonic path pour la section

(setq path1 (vector-map '(a b c d e f g) (vector-smooth 4 (gen-noise-asymmetric (* nbzne 4) 10 :seed .412))))

(setq path (activate-tonality-symbols path1))

Neat way to make tonalities in that part, creates smooth progressions. I played a little with it and noticed that :seed nil or missing :seed gives error - and fixed it.

Btw, did you use offset-tonality anywhere? Gives me ideas about (transpose-tonality 0 (offset-tonality 1 path)) which would create diatonic variants of instruments or whole section if applied similarly to all instruments, and reverse-tonality would make diatonic inversions, and (transpose-tonality n (offset-tonality n (reverse-tonality path))) makes transpositions of degrees of inversions … interesting ..

Yes, i use offset tonality everywhere .
