Rule set:
In light of the main topic of conversation of the previous week,
in a tongue and cheek way I thought it would be interesting to have a week that has contestants working with
![Uber Geek :ugeek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif)
![Uber Geek :ugeek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif)
to make something unique for the coming week.
Brief:
Contestants must build their own generative elements recorded from https://isartum.net/apotome and use them as the main harmonic elements in their submission.
Apotome is an online generative sequencer that allows for a multitude of rhtyhmic and tuning possibilities.
APOTOME TUTORIAL : https://vimeo.com/503451447
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Contestants can use https://chromewebstore.google.com/deta ... gbmkjnpjgc (chrome) or another recording equivalent to record their samples.
If any contestant does not have access to a computer they can participate using the following folder: https://we.tl/t-fuw28BzHU2
Contestants must only use the synths inclued within Apotome (Simple Synth, DX7, OBX included).
[Even though it allows for Midi Out, only the synths within the browser are allowed.]
------------------------------------------------------------
Contestants are also encouraged to use the following websites for their drums and FX:
https://sfxr.me/
https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/d ... hine/view/
Outside drums can be used, but +10 points will be used for using ONLYthe sounds contained within Apotome or the above mentioned sites
------------------------------------------------
Again for contestants unable to access the above sites, a selection of drum sounds from these sites are provided : https://we.tl/t-co9YNx6AmD
The ethos of this week is MAN using MACHINE to further his own creativity. Its meant to be man working alongside the machine, and for this reason, any live instrumentation, or live vocals, is all kosher. It feels like the right week (after last weeks conversation) to challenge people to find a middle ground between computer generated insanity and human rationality. I hope people appreciate the open-endness of this challenge after a few tough weeks!
