Thoughtform Generator

What’s up.

Believe it or not: This week’s newsletter is about music.

(1) Today I want to share a project I’ve been working on lately. It’s set to be announced next week, but I thought I’d share it earlier to all the newsletter heads. Instead of releasing a new EP or album, I've tried making something a little different.

Thoughtform Generator v.1.0

Thoughtform Generator is a generative music website that creates sonic creatures by combining three independent layers playing simultaneously:

Limbs (rhythmic elements)
Psyche (melodic textures)
Environment (atmospheric sounds)

Each listening session is unique as the player randomly selects and crossfades between tracks or lets the process run itself and evolve over time.

Functionality:

-1000 possible combinations
-Skip / Mute layers
-Installable as a Progressive Web App
-Media controls (Android)
-Automatic dark/light mode

Give it a spin and let me know what you think. I might update it at some point with more tracks so it can generate even more possible combinations.

In other news …

(2) I’m playing in Paris next month at Festival MOFO - I hope to see you there. The line-up is awesome.

(3) There is a new EP out today by Merely and the producer Niko Demus. It’s great. Check it out.

That’s all for now.

Bless,
CM
