# Genuary2023_GenerativeMusic

### **The prompt for Genuary 2023 Day 10 is**

## Generative Music

Made a sketch using ***Hydra/LiveCodeLab for Visuals*** and ***SonicPi for Audio***

* For the SonicPi portion, I decided to make each "*Arrangement Function"* act as an Orchestra Member
    
* For the **Hydra/LivecodeLab** Visuals, Added the ***Find Edges*** filter in post-production and slowed down the animation

***The growth is seen  
Within the boundaries of the screen  
As shown in the scene  
Where the sounds follow a particular stream  
As the edges blur as it if they were steam  
That is looking to burst as the seams***

#Two chord based functions, one runs on a random assortment, while the other one iterates

def chordsChoose(notes,minMaj,minMaj2,timeChord,dc,st)
  play chord(notes.choose, minMaj,decay: dc, sustain: st)
  play_pattern_timed chord(timeChord, minMaj2), [0.25,0.5].choose
  sleep [1,0.5,0.25,0.5,0.25,1].tick
end

def chordsTick(notes,minMaj,minMaj2,timeChord,dc,ak)
  play chord(notes.choose, minMaj,decay: dc, attack: ak)
  play_pattern_timed chord(timeChord, minMaj2), [0.25,0.5].tick
  sleep [1,0.75,0.5, 0.25].choose
end
