Disquiet Junto 0235 Dice Music



The Disquiet Junto this week outlined a series of directions for using dice to determine the result.

Die rolls directed a three minute piece with six sections. The first section had four layers playing two notes, so I previewed a bunch of MIDI presets until I found two notes that would sustain my interest for thirty seconds.

The following sections were three layers with two notes, four layers with three notes, five layers with four notes, one layer with two notes and six layers with six notes.

Not the sort of music I'd be likely to make without these prescriptions. I used a couple of tricks, like Audio Damage's Replicant effect has a Four Bar Repeat preset that I like.
