I have been exploring Pd more. I like what I am discovering.

I put up a few more examples over on soundcloud:

I titled them:

a_very_new_hat,
another_plumbing_dream,
bluewaltz, and
a_crystal_world.

These were captured during casual exploration. I did not keep detailed notes. Indeed, the driving force behind these was more about how they sounded, rather than process.

Basically, I wrote a few nasty/clumsy patches using seeded RNGs, ran an altered version of billystiltner's fractal sequencer patch (link here) for some of these new pieces. I sent signals from billy's patch back to my RNG patches in another window, triggered zynaddsubfx and hydrogen drum machine, and recorded it via audacity. I did a minimal amount of post-processing - removed some DC offset, edited out some sporadic clipping, amplified parts, added fades, and a few pitch/tempo shifts.

Any feedback, suggestions, hints or clues, etc. would be appreciated.

a very new hat is nice, i like the quicker sequences going on in there, pretty wild.

another pluming dream has got that zynaddsubfxsuperguitar goin on which i automatically like even if it wasnt fractal melody but this is psychedelic as psychedelic can be, who needs the 60s with stuff like this going on. i wanna play a game called peyote buttons.

bluewaltz is starting out like the ever so familiar fractal jazz.

a crystal world is starting out like a space ship adventure and then the marshmallow clouds are circling and the tribal stomp says i'm still on earth haha

I like what you are doing, it is wild. I'm still working on my synthesizer. Will get back to the fractal sequencer once I get a few things done to the synthesizer.

i think it all sounds wonderful.

Nice going guys
