Okay, how about a topical detour? I think if I see the email subject heading "RE: Why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics" one more time, I'm going to throw up…I feel as if I've created a not-so-Tiny Monster Ex Nihilo! :)
I introduced looping to a fellow guitarist and friend here in Boise, Idaho (USA), and he brought this up as an idea, so I can't take credit for it. I searched or it on the LD archives with no luck, so I'm not sure if anyone has discussed it here before either. So here it is…
How about creating a looped piece by using the multiply function on the EDP and the series of prime numbers (only numbers that are divisible by themselves or 1). For instance, you hit Record and lay down a 1 measure groove, then hit Multiply and record a 2 measure harmony over that groove from the beginning of the measure….hit Multiply to play the sequence, then hit Multiply again and record a 3 measure texture part, again from the beginning of the first measure, and repeat this process with 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, etc measures adding various textures, melodies, etc. After a while you might have to write the song out on paper to keep track of the loops.
Has it been done? Or perhaps the question is why would anyone want to do it? Someone who likes mathematics and working these things out, perhaps….
Thoughts? Volunteers? Examples of it already done?
