#102This made me want to grind lap times in Wipeout 2097. The soundtrack and atmosphere in that game was really similar to this, and like nothing I'd heard or seen before at the time. It probably shaped my taste in so many ways. Fond memories! EDIT: For those sharing the nostalgia, it turns out that the composer of the soundtrack, Cold Storage, remastered it and put it up on streaming services. It's a two part EP called…
Yes, CoLD SToRAGE has a lot of nice links to tracks on his website: http://www.coldstorage.org.uk/

#104To quote koboll below, this has to be the single most awesome project I have seen and heard so far.
It brings back so much from when I used to use the MC-505 while listening to Delerium Spheres 1 and 2.
I'd write more but I gotta go. Just had to say awesome and thanks for sharing.

#105Earlier quoted context omitted.
Acid is probably the most trending subgenre of techno these days, just cuz you've never heard of it...
You don't know what you're talking about, here's a foundational acid track that's probably older than you... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PbGTj9Yb_x4
YOU are the ignorant one if you don't know that acid is very much alive and kicking today.

> If you had no music experience, snuck into a club, impersonated a DJ, and just pressed play on this, I think even without touching it, no one would notice anything's amiss. If you messed around with it occasionally, you'd probably get hired back Some sufficiently intoxicated people will dance to anything, though a good dj feels an obligation to make sure the thing being played is of good quality, regardless. As to…
Sufficiently intoxicated people will dance to anything I've heard this sentiment before and I always wonder whether it has been given enough thought or whether it's really true for you and the people you know. I mean, me and me friends have left more than one party because we'd rather stroll around the neighbourhood than endure the music the DJ was playing. Admittedly that happened more when not using drugs but it's…
You have taste in music :-) I should have qualified that statement slightly more.

#107Setting the clock BPM to minimum sets a calm working pace, more like a video game soundtrack or something. Awesome project!

#108Anyone have any recommendations for reading material for an experienced programmer that wants to learn how to start to write procedural music? My kid is both learning to program and learning to sequence music I would love to be able to teach him how to combine the two. The last time I did any procedural audio generation was back in 1995 and I’m sure things have changed since then.

#110I'm fascinated by the implication that in the not so far future we'll reach a point where we can teach a computer to generate arbitrary works of art endlessly.
Want new episodes of Seinfeld? Just feed the existing episodes to an AI and ask it to make new ones. Beatles songs? Ditto. Spotify can look at your playlists and not only recommend tracks that you might like, but actually create some artificially. Post-cultural-scarcity.
Of course by then we might already have reached the Singularity so it'll be a minor aspect of a gigantic revolution.
