I even suggested the possibility over in the RC Forum of adding a capability to generate such to RC. They make a very clear visual of the changes across chords as anchored in the numbers 1 thru 7. I do like the IFR column and circles charts. In any case, thanks for the kind comments and encouragement.
So, I apologize if I created any mis-impression from the start.
RAPIDCOMPOSER FORUM CODE
Though I indeed have written code myself over the years, I consider myself only just good enough to recognize greatness when I’m in the presence of it! To be clear, I didn’t really “code” anything here, merely created a composition in the program Rapid Composer in a way that seemed to me to support practicing the Melody Path ideas.Ĭredit for Rapid Composer belongs to Attila Mezei, who is indeed an amazing coder! I look forward to sharing more conversations with you. THANK YOU for carrying our humble Melody Paths studies with you into the future! And thank you for making such a positive and generous contribution to our group. So here we are in 2021, and our intellectual musings can take the form of animated video, auto-generated melodies and real time sound production. In that sense, it’s kind of like the 21st century version of my own Melody Paths drawings, which I readily admit are unapologetically 20th century! The other thing that I think is wonderful about this kind of project is what YOU as the coder learn from the exercise. If you’re currently studying improvisation in a mechanical and formulaic way (which unfortunately is what a lot of people are doing), then a demo like this one can generate a bit of an existential crisis! What I like most about this whole initiative is that by demonstrating what a machine can do, it forces us to reexamine our own attitudes about why we play music, and what it means to improvise.
As I’m sure you know, there is a huge community of mathematicians and coders who are passionate about using harmony rules to create apps that can improvise their own music. What a great project to cement your understanding of these chords. You have a real talent for demonstrating complex systems very concisely! I’ve attached a Melody Paths drawing of the chord columns for chords 1, 3-, 2- and 5D to help people visualize what’s going on melodically in your demo. Hey Steve, welcome to our forum! And thank you for sharing this video.
