Hi folks. I am hoping to find some people that are into algorithmic composition, creating music with code, designing algorithms, etc.

  • Are you one of those people?
  • Do you know others?
  • Can you recommend any other communities for that?
  • Is there interest for having that kind of community here?

Thanks!

    In short: Yes :)

    I spent years composing music generated by simple C programs and then some years more making algorithmic A/V toys disguised as video games, and I am currently making a commercial video game where all the music is generated in realtime by PureData.

    I got interested in eurorack primarily because I thought I could control everything DAWless by algorithmic voltage control from an Arduino or something. That project’s actually been a total failure LOL

    I think the places I’d recommend for this sort of thing RN are the forum https://llllllll.co/ and the various members of the highly inspirational Mastodon server https://merveilles.town/ , though the best discussions there require you to join so you can be a member of the local feed.

      That mastodon instance is invite only right? I’m very new to this fediverse. Are some feeds in mastodon private? I thought you could see the content from other instances

        Yeah, although they’re approachable so asking for an invite might work if you mesh with their Idiom. You don’t need to join to read their feeds, no. I think you won’t be able to get the combined feed is all. I just follow a bunch of Mervilles people normal type.

        Some Mastodon servers have a special “show only server local” visibility type, but it’s very rare, since usually the point of Mastodon is the interconnectivity.
