about

IS#102

This is an entirely improvised musical endeavor.

The guitar and bass parts are first take and all pieces were recorded consecutively, in the order that they appear on this album.

The basis for all drum and synth parts are randomized MIDI files created by my PyRM project: bitbucket.org/lrcaborn/pyrm/src/master/

The tracks were created in the following manner:
1. Generated 5 "fast" drums parts and 4 "slow" drum parts and stuck them end to end in a drum track.
2. Recorded the bass parts to fit with the drum parts.
3. Recorded the guitar parts to fit with the drum and bass parts.
4. Generated 4 synth pad parts to go with the slow drum parts.
5. When adding the synth parts, I found that doubling up the synths sounded better during the slow parts.
6. There was quite a stretch of synth sounds left at the end of the process, so those were used for the final track.

PyRM is heavily indebted to the MIDIUtil (github.com/MarkCWirt/MIDIUtil) and lea (bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/Home) python projects.
