Improvising Hive.This is my attempt to jump back into the
Disquiet Junto. I wanted to do another piece that uses the tonality diamond, which takes the mathematical relationships in just intonation and extrapolates them to create finer divisions of pitch, so I extracted some code from
The Sound of Ocean Heat Energy and built a
small instrument that draws its pitches from the 11-limit diamond again.
At first, I had it play pitches on mouse over, but that turned out way too sensitive, so now it plays only when you click a cell.
I improvised on it, then edited a bit. Here’s a
video of the raw improvisation in case you’re interested.
