Algorithmic Jams

While working on my Fibonacci piece (mentioned here), some interesting results pop up now and then. These riffs were algorithmically generated, written in JavaScript and Max/MSP, and are based on the Fibonacci numbers in multiple ways.

When I write my final paper for this project, i'll be sure to include all of the nitty-gritty. For now, try some of these jams with your peanut butter:

An algorithmically generated riff based on the Fibonacci numbers.  Mapped to the pitch set with missing semitones that are multiples of 21.
