ChucK

(at 13:00 there's some sort of a ChucK "hello world!" equivalent)

November 16, 2007 lecture by Ge Wang for the Stanford University Human-Computer Interaction Seminar (CS 547). In the first part of this talk, Ge presents the design, philosophy, and development of ChucK, a computer music programming language intending to provide a different approach, expressiveness, and thinking with respect to time and parallelism in audio programming - as well as a platform for precise and rapid experimentation. In the second part of this presentation, Ge describes his adventures with the "laptop orchestra": a new type of large-scale, computer-mediated music ensemble.

ChucK is free open source and available for Linux, MacOS X and Windows.

These are a few of my favorites which relate to this sort of music, but might be too beat-oriented for some of you. I'm a big fan of Kraftwerk and Art Of Noise (I love the Aphex Twin comp referenced earlier), and have delved into some Raymond Scott. I plan on checking out some of the other recs here to broaden my horizons.

Kreuder & Dorfmeister - G-Stoned

Shawn Lee & Clutchy Hopkins - Clutch Of The Tiger

Nobody - Western Water Music, Vol.1

Blockhead - Music By Cavelight

Desmond Williams - Delights Of The Garden

The Dining Rooms - Numero Deux

DJ Krush - KRUSH

Felix Laband - Thin Shoes In June

J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science

Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Kosma - Early Works

Mr. Scruff - Keep It Unreal

Omid - Distant Drummer

St. Germain - Tourist

Thievery Corporation - Sounds Of The Thievery Hi-Fi

Tosca - Dehli 9

Whoa. As a piano tuner and someone very sensitive to pitch, the sample in that article is fucking with my brain. In a good way.

On the new electronic CD I'm working on, I have a piece that is loosely similar, due to my own impatience. The Alesis Andromeda analog polysynth takes a good 15 or 20 minutes to warm up and stabilize it's tuning. One night I had an idea I had to get down and didn't want to wait for the Andromeda to warm up, so I just started recording. And because of this, the song starts out quite flat, though at first there's no reference point to let you know that, since it is all Andromeda. But then a little lead line comes in, out of tune. And then a Wurlitzer part, much sharper than even the lead line. And eventually, as the song progresses about 11 minutes or so, the Andromeda is slowly warming up and things are coming into tune, almost like they are coming into focus, slowly. It's extremely hypnotic but subtle.
