Ok...I swear I am not on crack but I think this would be neat. So in hip hop, and some higher tempo music, you nod your head to the music in agreement with the beats. consider a full forward and full backward head-nod position. consider the velocity and acceleration inherent with the head nod. consider snare spacing (think drill n' bass/sounding like the 1st track off of RDJ album) which precicely modeled this velocity/position and/or acceleration curve. Consider bass spacing which modeled each forward/back nod. what would this sound like? would it be the ultimate groove? no, this is not an elaborate joke. I am seriously curius. I'm just about to go borrow some potentiometric tranducers from the ME lab and hook them up to a computer and generate an appropriate curve and lay the beats out by hand. but with all this talk of generative music, I think it would be an interesting approach to drum programming. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
