Made In Opusmodus

Here is a function (with subfunctions) that operates based on the principle of the Brownian bridge. You define the start and end, and with each generation, an extended embellishment emerges. The principle is simple and allows for the creation of ornaments. Attached are some examples — I’ve structured them this way to make the principle easier to understand. Here is a small graphical model showing four generations. The start and end points remain the same, while new random points are added in between with each generation. The Code & Examples (defun pick (a b &key (span 5)) (let ((rnd1 (car (rnd-number 1 (+ a span) (- a span)))) (rnd2 (car (rnd-numb…

One more small (improved) function: a starting rhythm (pattern) gradually changes its values towards a constant pulse/value (endvalue). Other possible applications: An initial pitch sequence evolves into a steady, constant pitch. A start pattern for velocity gradually shifts towards a fixed velocity. (defun gen-acc/rit (alist endvalue) ;; startpattern + endvalue (loop while (not (equal alist (gen-repeat (length alist) endvalue))) collect (setf alist (loop for i in alist when (/= i endvalue) collect (if (> i endvalue) (- i 1) …

Real-Time Pitch Memory: Compositional Feedback System Using MaxMSP and OPUSMODUS This text outlines a specific aspect of a larger project I am developing for live electronics and instruments. Since the work heavily involves live electronic processing in real time, it is based on a MaxMSP patch that I am currently building. An important component of this system involves integrating OPUSMODUS for certain compositional processes—specifically, the processing of pitch material collected in real time via a pitch follower from an improvising musician. In MaxMSP, this means that every few seconds, the most recently played pitches (as MIDI note numbers) are saved into a .txt fi…

I am currently learning Max MSP for a project, but I would like to use a part of computing structures that I can generate much easier in Opusmodus. So I write code in OM (sorting algorithms for some clicks), test it (and modify my code), then export it to a library in Max MSP. I can now call up/coordinate the MIDI files in realtime etc ... in Max MSP. (Workflow as a beginner in Max MSP...) Bildschirmaufnahme 2024-11-01 um 11.13.28.mov

here is a small pure LISP-function - even older function - that I need for a project. Kind of a "shift-hysteresis", a randomized change from X to Y to ..., also possible with several value. It is best to try it out with the graph views. have fun! andré ;;; SUB (defun weighted-t/nil (on-weight) (let ((off-weight (- 1 on-weight))) (weighted-random (list (list 't on-weight) (list 'nil off-weight))))) (defun weighted-random (list) (loop for item in list with rand-num = (random (loop for x in list sum (second x))) for add = (second item) then (+ add (second item)) when (< rand-num add) return (first item))) …

Hello everyone, here is my new video about my new piece for solo piano Desintegration. In it, i explain the basic idea of the piece but also the Opusmodus code. Enjoy !

Here's a new piece made in Opusmodus. The pdf itself is raw output of Opusmodus, I've just added Title, name etc... with PdfExpert software. Enjoy. SB. CouleursDuTempsPourFluteEtPiano.pdf

A piece dedicated to the Ukrainian people in these difficult times

Hello everyone, I am happy to present a small project to you. The Swedish metal band Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands, they have greatly influenced the genre by bringing a very complex aspect to their music. So I composed a piece in the style of Meshuggah using Opusmodus. Here is the link to a video I made where I explain how I did it. (the video is currently unlisted, I will make it public later)
