Holdsworth Jazz Band Style - Album X - Intermorphic Generated Music by David Luebbert

Details

Description

This is the first of my music videos in which I have used music visualization software instead of using my digital paintings for the video portion.

Recently I have made great strides in developing a more human, rhythmic and melodic balance within Noatikl's many different functions. I found that when I excluded the bass and percussion and concentrated on the guitar alone, I was finally able to find a good medium where all six strings voices seemed to work together very well in whatever scale they were together on. So now I will depend less on the sounds that Allan Holdsworth inspired me with and try to grow my accumulated experience and programming knowledge into different styles and genres based on the understanding of the software I have gained throughout all these first album creations.

Allan Holdsworth Style 3 Piece Band Intermorphic Programmed Generated Music - Meant to imitate his style as much as possible from my own personal perspective and creative energy. The guitar collections I use in Ableton Live for lead guitar are various combinations I use to try to mimic the incredible guitar sounds of Holdsworth’s, some modified to keep mostly the attack plucking sound then combined with a sort of ambient/lead instrument sound, and others with various other attributes. The Bass is a digital electric based on the Boffner with some tweaks, and the drum set is based on the Memphis Studio. Assembling of MIDI in Ableton Live, also audio files creation for MP3.

The Intermorphic software called “Noatikl” is midi based that creates the random programmed music, and here is a description of some particulars in how I programmed it to get the musical results found in these videos, but this is not a definite recipe as I am constantly adjusting and experimenting:

Three channels:

Channel 1 for guitar and one voice each for each of the guitar’s six strings. Using Repeat Bar or Rhythmic for each Voice Type, and the same starting pitch as found on a standard tuned guitar, with numbered Pitch Range for each string. Each voice is given a Phrase Length randomly and Phrase Gaps for each voice, that is, the number of possible rests between the phrases.

Channel 2 for the bass guitar, using Rhythmic or Repeat Bar Voice Type and a Pitch Range, Phrase Length from, Phrase Gaps with selected numbers.

Channel 10 for percussion, and one voice each of the 28 or so different percussion types in the drum set. The voices are given Repeat Bar or Rhythmic Voice Type. Phrase Length are randomly chosen and the Phrase Gaps are randomly selected.


Scale Rules I use:
Major, Whole Tones, Minor, Dorian, Hypophrygian, Lydian, Pentatonic, Phyrgian, Chromatic, and the ones Allan Holdsworth described on his DVD: Minor Major 7, Minor Major 7 Flat 6, Minor Major 7 Plus 4, Double Diminished, Jazz 1, Jazz 2, Jazz 3, Symmetrical.

Harmony, Next Note, Rhythm Rules, all created by myself as varying, assorted types, and that is where some individual artistic preferences should be used.
