decent random composition
good job

How marvelous!!! How excellent!!!!
Reminds me of Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell"

I tried to contact you but for some reason this idiot forum still hasn't recognized me as a premier member . . . thanks! (been here for quite a while)

Anyway, would you discuss how you composed this, I am most intrigued.

My email is poorbob@verizon.net if you'd rather in private.

sounds like orchestral samples compiled into sound loops...

sounds like orchestral samples compiled into sound loops...

It does, and probably is . . . but it is done very intriguingly.

I use a lot of sampled sounds from my own library, programming, real instruments, and combinations of everything (whatever to achieve my sonic vision) . . . but FC9 has a certain 'thing' going on . . . . . . . . . . I WANT TO KNOW!! Muwhahahahahha!!!!

I hear that there "isn't any wind to fill the sails". I found myself waiting for that musical event to occur and to my knowledge, "still no wind".

Entertaining and yet confusing.. lol

Thank you JCP61, and Etu Malku,
For listening and commenting, even to you, my brothers with the coldest of skeptical hearts. I am in fact one of the coldest.

Randomness can represent the world around us, and even within us, that is out of our own control. I am stepping outside the well-worn ruts of predictable ideas, scales, harmonies, and rhythm. I will even admit to stomping on those ruts, caving them in.

So, As you go through life beware of a continually morphing melancholy peppered with occasional genuine optimistic beauty, returning to strangeness, and mock happiness.

And, What ever you do; Watch out for any returning tuba riff that sounds like an uninvited marching band member busting into the room, who is trying to "change the subject" or lift the mood, when things get too heavy.

you just described the last 20 years of the music industry

Be it known there has been a lot of research and development in artificially intelligent music making (no that FC9 is that), and during my research for my book I have encountered a few of these composers, it is indeed a fascinating venture outside of the conventional crappola that I hear, the redundant regurgitation of things already created.

Music and Culture both wax and wane.

I wasn't trying to be skeptical. Just answering Etu's question in case you didn't come back to the forums.

I enjoy throwing sounds against the wall to see what sticks quite a lot. Most of what I've written was never released or performed, but rather for the pure enjoyment of following wherever the song would lead.

this doesn't really make sense
how can you have a composer in artificial intelligence music composition?
don't you mean you found some attractive computer generated music?
not really a stretch when you consider that resolved composition is not really higher math.

To What music, specifically are you referring to redundant regurgitation.. who are the artists in question?

I think it is crickets manipulated by a sound engineer.
which is no different than lady gaga on auto tune

Cloud,

Nice job...
I would not say this is anything new.... It has elements of Schoenberg's approach to atonality (Which deviates after the first 8-12 measures, and renders moot)) . I also get a sense of early American Urban pastoral (Pre american Jazz)

Its nice work...

I am (what ETU might classify as regurgitative ) in my own musical world. In my effort to master the craft of simple song-writing, I tend to require that my phrase and lyric take some form of direction...

That being said, I have to applaud your piece in the sense that it really captures a living state of ambient textures, gestures and movements (as opposed to a dead and static state...) without the burden of a beginning or end., thus no direction is necessary...

Awsome job, Cloud!

LOL . . . it's been going on for some time, yeah, I know it's not very public but most underground things aren't, I just happen to be in touch with quite a few Musicologists (remember I am writing a book).
