Current Events > I discovered a new method of creating good music

(+) Yeah! (+)

Start with 2 indexed sets A and B. Each set contains the numbers 1 to 48 in this example but other numbers should work. Then randomly permute the numbers in each set which has the effect of changing their index number. Then add the sets together (a_1 + b_1, a_2 + b_2, .... a_48 + b_48) to create a new set C. Then map the numbers in C to the keys on the piano and you have created a piece of music that sounds better than you would think it would. I have read a good deal about algorithmic music but I have never seen an algorithm like this before so try it out

Hmm... but how many unique solutions exist in the vector space?

It ends up sounding like this:

So I press a key on a piano and it plays err.. whatever the "running" count made from the A+B combos?

But what would the notes for the running count consist of? Like if I hit a C note am I gonna get Bb, C, Dd, E, F, G.....A (48) by hitting C as my root?

You just map the keys on your piano to numbers. One mapping I experimented with is c = 1, d = 2 ect. Just think of a piano as if it were a number line containing only integers

Have you heard of a I IV V? Shits so cash.

I'm so confused. It seems interesting enough though.
