Chapter 3 - Audio Examples

Audio examples from chapter 3 based on the exploration of small CTRNNs.

Additional examples from CTRNN audio processing experiments:

Chapter 3 - Rhythmic Generation Example

An example of how rhythms can be generated using CTRNNs when mapped to MIDI note and velocity values (section 3.6).

Chapter 4 - Target-based EA Examples

Audio examples of the target-based EA experiment (section 4.2).

Chapter 5 - Transfer Function Compositional Study

Video recordings of three compositional studies using the tanhsine CTRNN transfer function (section 5.3).

Note that the audio has a varied dynamic range with feedback and noise.

Chapter 7 - Audio Examples

Audio examples of the CTRNN configurations outlined in (section 7.1).

Iteration One - Section 7.1.1

Iteration Two - Section 7.1.2

Drift

The first case study of chapter 7 (studio recording) and an LFO drone modulation example (section 7.2).

Litany

The second case study of Chapter 7 (studio recording), an LFO rhythmic modulation example and audio recordings of the Orion configuration experiment (section 7.4).

Audio examples for figure 7.11:

Nexus

The third case study of chapter 7 (studio recording) and an LFO synthesiser modulation example (section 7.5).

Nexus - Live

The fourth case study of chapter 7 (section 7.6).

Performance at Tin Shed Spots #3 (29/06/13 - Pre PhD)

A composition produced before this PhD project that demonstrates the use of custom software build for Ableton Live that uses random number generation.

Pretty Gritty #6 - Guitar and Laptop Improvisation (Pre PhD)

A composition produced before this PhD project that demonstrates the use of custom software build for Ableton Live that uses random number generation.

Elastic Evolution - Ensemble Offspring (Pre PhD)

A composition produced before this PhD project that uses evolutionary search to create a web-based score that was performed in real time by Ensemble Offspring.
