For a while I've been playing some imrovised ambient guitar music for myself and recording it. Here's an excerpt of one of these recordings, more info here: soundcloud.com/marcohamersma/sets/ambient-guitar-sketches

I made a little song to accomopany a timelapse that my partner did for a painting (https://www.tiktok.com/@ayun_ya/video/6931050432789875973?sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6919040289245529605&is_from_webapp=v1&is_copy_url=0).

Some more semi-generated music: This is what it sounds like if you tell Ableton Live to play random notes, and then try to make it sound like Boards of Canada, but fail a bit.

An experiment in creating a generative music system, inspired by some of Brian Eno's works. Especially the album Reflection and the apps he made in collaboration with Peter Chilvers.

I went on vacation recently and finally spent some more time working on my generative music project. I rewrote a lot of things since the last versions, but never managed to tie it together in a pleasing whole.

Although previous versions were generated completely in the browser, I found that it was holding me back a lot in its current form, so for this version I decided to run the script via Node.js and send MIDI data to Ableton Live. This also gave me a lot more tone control.

I would like to reintroduce the option to run the code in the browser, but for now it needs a DAW and/or software synths to function.

Another track in the category of “worked on it once, never really finished”.

What can I say, I played a bit with Ableton's follow actions to automate some parts of the song. I used a lot of weird automation. I don't know what I was doing.

The bass is not real, it's just a regular guitar (Pitched down, I think). I have a bass guitar, but it's on another continent 😢
