Now we have to work hard to give life to this beautiful idea! (OH MY GOD!) =D

Kunstformen der Natur – Ernst Haeckel

I while ago I read in a

what was defined by Manuel Lima [http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/blog/?author=1] as “outstanding work of nineteen century German biologist Ernst Haeckel”. I got quite interested, primo because I find it very attracting the art that exits behind the nature forms, secondo it is quite nice to see works from the past.

My First Random Song

Here is the MP3 file (or MIDI file) of my First Random Song .

I used JFugue to deal with MIDI stuff and implemented the code that generates chords sequence, notes duration and basic melody following some simple rules (e.g. the notes are from the C Major pentatonic scale and the chords are the simple: C F G Am).

Despite the simplicity, I really enjoyed the result. =D Well, I’ll give more details about the implementation later.

This is the first test of a project in which I’m studying new ways of composing music using multitouch tabletop interfaces. I’ll also talk about it later.

PS: the picture above I painted using ArtRage 2 Started Edition, it’s quite nice to play around with the tablet using this software. I don’t like to post anything without a picture… =)
