weirdest way i’ve ever collaborated or composed
and i love it

  • this adds two lines of drum textures which cat squeezes together

alone it sounds like this

your slower bpm, chop, and reverb spread things out nicely, theyre perfect companions for the rtm

YEUP. same. this is great!


d2 $ striate 2 $ n “0? 2 3” # s “arpy” # pan “0.25 0.55 0.75?” # gain “0.85” # speed “-1.5 0.5 -2”


took your last one as a standalone, added the above to it.

  • ‘striate’ is rad. patterned granular slices. creates the effect of a reverb or delay, but can get real weird.
  • made some of the ‘arpy’ triggers and pan positions variable with the ‘?’ function.

when let to run, plays nicely with your rhythm, which has such a cool shuffle to begin with.

we’ve got three tracks! want to record the results to share?

Anyone fancy a fight? I don’t know who to call out - anyone else successfully installed tidal, squeaked a few bleeps & lurking on the thread?

talked privately with a few but most are understandably hesistant to join so I’m willing to fight again

only experienced users I’m aware of are @danielmkarlsson + @yaxu (obviously)
we’re all learning

everybody should feel free to dive in

I’ll try again to get it working. First attempt failed. Disappointing. The older version of tidal was quite fun.

I somehow had an embarassingly hard time getting tidal/superdirt running. Especially making supercollider run superdirt - everything worked fine when I ran quark install process through scide (rather than trying through sclang). Once things were ‘set up’ I had no problems starting & running superdirt through sclang/emacs. (supercollider 3.8.0)

Also I can confirm tidal should install cleanly using “cabal install tidal” with bleeding edge arch linux packages for cabal & haskell (haskell 8.0.1 & cabal 1.24.0.0). With some random older haskell version (installed to play with clash) things wouldn’t install/run correctly…

Haskell is up to date and cabal install tidal worked fine. My problem is with getting SC to run superdirt (says the port is already in use, no matter which port I tell it to use). First I’ve heard of using scide to do the install, maybe that’s what i need to do.

EDIT: I did a dumb thing with my tractor this morning. You folks are so helpful, I’m tempted to ask for tips on that too. :wink:

here goes nothing:
d2 $ sound "arpy [~ [[arpy ! ! arpy*6]/4 ~]]/2 [~ arpy] arpy/3" # up "[1 [2 5 [5 7]*13]/6 [[8 3] [8 3]*2 [3 8]]/3 3]" # nudge "[0 0.022]*4"

Just noticed a typo in my tabla part. Fixed it and messed around some more and now it just annoys me, so I’d replace it with this, which goes more nicely with @rick_monster’s arpy part.

sound "bass:02*12" # up "[1 [2 5 [5 7]*13]/6 [[8 3] [8 3]*2 [3 8]]/3 3]" # nudge "[0 0.022]*4"

Aww, @tidalbot doesn’t seem to be responsive at the moment.

tweaked that code against the bassline, but it seems to run better against the “typo tabla”…
