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

[–] mcc@waveform.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.
