Title: Cellular Automata in music
Post by: LittleWhite on April 17, 2011
Today, a friend of mine shown me this website:

Using a simple cellular automata (things like Conway's game of life, for instance) and producing some music with it :)
Try it, it's fun ;)

The more you play the more interesting tunes it seems to make

It is amazing how interesting the generated music can become. Here is my shot at it:

I tried to make something that had a symetrical repeating pattern..

Unfortunately it doesn't sound too great but it looks pretty :)

That's cool, reminds me of electro plankton for the Nintendo DS.
If you like this, be sure to check out that game!

(I am able to produce some kind of commutator ... :D )

Will produce a loop ... I guess because I am using symetry ... no .. let's move to something more "changing"

Here's my first attempt: http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=2g1n8u8u7w7w3h0q4s2g32304v7f4z8q406k1f

I think this would make a nice fun DBF compo, to see who can make the best tune :)
