rd(prog)

Here I am furthering the concept of ring modulation in conjunction with the Karplus strong synthesis method. It's a non-interactive patch, so everything you hear is being randomly generated. The supercollider code changes the length of the delay buffers at steady regular intervals and amounts to create a rudimentary "progression" of notes, though they aren't perfect and are definitely microtonal, if you have the ear for that. The progression is happening rather slowly though, so you may have to speed up the file to hear it better. Luckily, I did that for you!

Enjoy! :)

Though I can't really go into depth, I will say that this required only a single 1 second buffer, with about 10 different play-heads moving along it at various speeds, as the buffer was being recorded to live, with feedback through an open speaker loop. Since almost everything you are hearing was made through processed live recordings of my voice, I must say that I will NOT be doing this again for a bit. It hurts your voice a lot :X

What is neat about this is that it was done entirely live, no post-processing, which means that this kind of buffer-based processing would work well in a concert setting; I should look further into this in the future :)
