Euclydian (Nu Jazz improvisation)
This is a Lydian piano improvisation over a relatively deep Euclidean synth and drums sequence E(7, 24, +2), E(14, 22), E(8, 11). I’m usually a linear DAW sort of guy but when this sequence spilled out, I had to jam along and this is the direct capture. In post, I automated the probability gate with MIDIMixer to give some shape and added a few FX toys as you do. Thanks for listening.

Nice.
Wow!
This is quite impressive. It reminds me of some of the complex and quite intricate pieces Frank Zappa composed in the years around his symphony period.
Andy, this is great. I really enjoyed what you did with all the instruments.
Really appreciate the feedback @poppadocrock, @SNystrom, @dcollett - thank you.
The complexity was a happy accident. If I had analysed the randomly generated backing sequence before laying down the solo I think the result would have been quite stilted. The drums are an 11 beat pattern. I’m not sure what I was locking into.
I only know how to play Old Jazz, but this I like.
We don’t get to hear enough stuff from you, Andy. I can always count on you for originality (which is the highest comment I can give a fellow musician). Keep on keeping on, bro.
Old jazz , nu jazz
Every jazz, but true jazz … (Love for Sale)
Thank you @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr. Pleased you liked it. I saw that my influence Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft declared his style as Nu Jazz and I prefer the term to ‘jazztronica’ so that’s what I went with. Same old notes though 😀
Blown away by your comment Mike @LinearLineman - it’s like I’ve won a Grammy! I wish I could say that I only post when I have something new to say but truth is I am too easily distracted and feeling obliged to make YT videos is a huge drain on available time. Euclydian is a new start for me and I’m truly encouraged by the response. Keep on keeping on back atcha.
I also am a linear DAW kind of guy. I have tried all kinds of ways of using randomness to generate music but it always leaves me wanting. Ends up like listening to a fan (not to downplay the meditative value of listening to a fan). But this is excellent. The “happy accident” workflow you used is something I am going to try. I have been going through a creative block lately and this inspires me. I had dismissed euclidian sequencers mostly because I did not think the effort of understanding it would be worthwhile. You have changed my mind. Thank you sir.
I enjoyed this. (Am a fan of Bugge Wesseltoft too.)
It’s Snowing on my Piano is a christmas favorite.
Very inspiring @AndyHoneybone
This is good stuff, great use of the Euclidean app.
Hi @boomer,
thanks for the comments. Great to hear my piece has inspired you - I really hope your exploration bears fruit. I bought Euclidian with no expectation beyond using it as a source to help me re-cable a MIDI patchbay for my hardware. Less than a week later I had shared my first piece in months. The test will be if I can repeat the magic. May the greatest common divisor be with you.
@rollin, @crifytosp,
Your comments much appreciated. I particularly like Bugge’s collaborations with DJs Henrik Schwarz and Prins Thomas.
@svetlovska,
Kind of you to say. I’m only scratching the surface of what the app can do. As you’ll know, lots more operational modes to explore.
@stochastically
Absolutely honoured to have one of your visual comments. It’s a fair likeness! Love it.
Euclidean seems to pop out some great toe tapping rhythms and this is a great example.
Superb piano playing. My cup of (Yorkshire) tea 🙏
Thank you @GeoTony. Yes, some very agreeable rhythms as your ‘4354 Euclides’ well demonstrates. My piano would have been Yorkshire played if the boundaries hadn’t been changed in 1974.
