Looptober 2021 (aka Voxtober)
In October, I participated in the looptober challenge:
compose a loop-based composition every day for the month of
October. This document has all the code used to generate
these loops.
You can listen to these loops on soundcloud or funkwhale.
Each loop features vocal synthesis in some way.
For this reason, I've also been referring to looptober as
voxtober. This all ties back to my ongoing research in expressive singing synthesis.
I made an effort to try and cover a wide range of "conventional" musical styles, with a dab of computer music composition concepts here and there.
I decided to take on the challenge to explore some of the singing synthesizers I've been building (see: tract and glottis), controlled via my new gesture synthesizer. As a result, lots of features were added, and bugs squashed.
This wiki page is an HTMLized version of the org-mode document I was writing all my loops in. It consists of chunks of scheme code controlling my Homebrew Music Software Ecosystem.
For convenience, here's some jumplink navigation:
Day 1: Two Voices One Room.
Day 2: Gurglestep.

Day 4: Risset Rhythm.
Day 5: Bohlen Pierce.
Day 6: 2000s pop.
Day 7: Gospel.
Day 8: hans zimmer mombasa.
Day 9: isorhythmic density.
Day 10: 7/8 nonlinear grooves.
Day 11: Imogen.
Day 12: Vaporwave.
Day 13: Mourning song.
Day 14: Bossa Nova.
Day 15: abrupt chaos. pockets of calm.
Day 16: arpy vocals. boss battle?
Day 17: isorhythmic ambience. Music for airports-ish.
Day 18: liquid drum-n-bass.
Day 19: the innsmouth look, throat singing, basso profondo.
Day 20: afro-cuban grooves.
Day 21: Lighthouses, ghost stories.
Day 22: articulation experiments, diphones.
Day 23: angelic suspension.
Day 24: Padsynth algorithm, articulation, diphones, more 12/8 grooves.
Day 25: Melody. Appalachian Spring. Transformation.
Day 26: Alto trio. Passing of the Elves from LOTR fellowship. Supernatural realms.
Day 27: Morphing FM pads. Goofy articulated vocals.
Day 28: Jazz vocal group.
Day 29: Gest Conductor experiment. Dies Irae

mkhit creates a target AND sets a scalar, and
is ideal for percussive tracks.
mkhit2 only sets a scalar value, and is a good
idea if you want to use values set by targets.
mkrest adds an explicit rest.

gst:eval and singer-words.

Thinking about: Bohlen Pierce and duophony.
I've tried working with microtonality (mostly Bohlen Pierce ET) several times, and it's never really stuck for me. In the past, I think I reached too quickly for things like multiplicity and polyphony, trying to make harmonies for tonal systems I didn't fully understand. Really, I should have been focusing on melodic lines. In this arrangement, I attempt to focus on just the melody with an underlying drone. The drone gives us a sense of "home base", that the melody can work on. And hopefully, it can help provide context for more complex harmonic structures in the future.
I'm also going to introduce some of the other shapes I made a few months back (I've only used 3 at this point). And try to make good use of the various metathings in Gest to give this loop today an improvisonational feel.
Retrospect: this reminds me of a bladerunner atmosphere. The new vowels have a very alto-y feel to it. I dialed down the tenseness in the glottis, which gave it a very breathy feel.

"))Day 23
Yesterday's loop uncovered a bug in Gest that I hopefully fixed today. Creating later, don't have much inspiration for anything too unique. What I do have is an initial 5 voice chord progression I worked out on piano. Should sound pretty with voices. Hoping to bring it here then elaborate and make it more contrapuntal.
Realizing I may want some lilypond like abstractions for note names. I've been doing a movable do thing with numbers, but as I do more stuff with tonal harmony, that is going to break down quickly.
---
Okay, so I didn't actually add any counterpoint. I just got lazy and layered stuff and added reverb. Kind of ended up as a sweet indie soundtrack that's vaguely hopkins like.

Hopefully things are a little less chaotic.
I've been thinking about jazz harmonies and voicings quite a bit. It has been a while since I've had any system capable of letting me even the consider the notion of harmony.
In the context of the voice, I've been thinking about ensembles like the New York Voices, and the richness they have with only 4 voices.
So, this is a very colorful set of jazz voicings I worked out like last week, adapted and arranged for my computer music singing system. It's complicated enough tonally that I think I need to use note names rather than rely on the relative pitches like I've done prior to all this.

Today I am out of sounds that are ideas. So now it's onto the next best thing, which is ideas that might be sounds.
This experiment, in a nutshell: use gestures to produce conductors to control other gestures.
With halloween coming, I will build this concept around a Dies Irae motif. Going with more of a tenor/bass sound for starters because I've been doing a lot of alto lately (and can you blame me? it's a much better sounding set of tract shapes).
Also, I am copy-pasting lots of stuff from 28, cuz I have less time on my hands now.
