Want a simple form of #MCMC analysis in #R well, I got you covered.
My #R#Package TidyDensity has a function called tidy_mcmc_sampling() that is pretty straight forward. It takes a raw vector and performs the calculation you give it over a default of 2k samples.
The Polyend Tracker Mini is a magical little device that’s forcing me to approach music in a different way. Typically it uses very short samples in an almost multisampling context, but here I’ve pushed it to use longer voice samples from my ever-growing library of 70s TV commercial snippets that I’m preparing for my hauntology project.
The ‘Uh huh!’/’Cool clean taste’ bit is from a 1971 Certs commercial, and it’s deliciously mangled using the PT Mini’s granular engine. ‘Purely For Pleasure’, believe it or not, is taken from a 1971 Butterfinger commercial! The laugh you hear was from a CB radio transmission I captured over the holidays. The broken melody is just a Euclidean sequence I used to fill out the bar.
Anyway, it’s a fun little track that is a harbinger of weirder stuff to come. Stay tuned, space cadets!
my new Fysen EP releases this Friday and today we gonna have a listen party on Bandcamp. It will start at 7pm CET (Berlin) time. I will be available in the chat, if you wanna join please check here:
I love how sampling doesn’t only create new music but can also enrich its source, embedding the memory of more fantastic music in already fantastic tracks. #HipHop#sampling@vinylrecords
If you are into industrial / dark electro music and/or sci-fi / horror movies and/or sampling, but missed the usenet era, do you know this awesome list started by Peter Cigéhn in
rec.music.industrial?
That was such an awesome source of knowledge and fun.
Enjoy ☺️
"Every time someone visits SonicGarbage, it performs a YouTube search with randomly generated phrases to discover videos. It then downloads these videos, processes their audio, and converts them into two formats ready for sampling: one-shot and loop."
A year ago I started a little personal #Fedi project to every week share #newRelease music + a variety of other tracks from all sorts of eras & genres too.
I called it #BearTracks for my own humour & just to sort of see what I was doing.
It's over 500 tracks now. Lots of good music, quite a bit you might not have heard.
