about

TRIOS 03: custom funk

Part 3, applying functional programming to make dance beats in unconventional time signatures.

What that means for you humans is that the drums, bass and keyboard parts are all created using formulas rather than playing the actual notes.

The result is that "weird" rhythmic ideas are a snap to execute, free from the limitations of normal drum machines and grid layouts. You'll hear some beats in 3, 7, 12, 15 etc with a couple of cello parts laid on top so that it doesn't all sound like robots.

"Trio" in this context means that there are three passes: once with the computer and then two live takes followed by minimal editing and a mix.

Thanks for all your support for this project, it's been fun and tremendously rewarding.

Programmed using TidalCycles.
