Experimental music, music composed by software and artificial intelligence
The music collections on this page were produced using a variety of specialty music composition and sound
generating software programs.
There is a spontaneous improvised factor programmed with this kind of music/sound production that can often create surprising results.
We have been experimenting with music/sound generating software as far back as the early "DOS"
operating system computers... up to current custom
modern software and experimental music artificial intelligence (AI) music software developed
and/or adapted here at Amaranth Publishing.
If you would like to discuss these projects or, ask questions, please contact us at:email
. Scroll down the page or use the menu below to see the various collections of this unique music and sound.
Creating Light To Sound
This unique music project, involves my using a solar cell array to transform light waves to sound waves to audio.
The music you will be hearing is the improvised
results of the movement and intensity of
the light sources and color filtering.
One of our projects has been to have our programs create improvised music for various types of harp/plucked string sounds.
This project involved various programming and algorithms to allow the software to improvise spontaneous music on it's own without any human performance.

2 MP3 collections of bird songs
transcribed in different ways.
This latest Language Of The Birds MP3 collectionconsists of 20 recordings of bird songs transcribed using special software and then arranged with unique background instrumental accompaniments.
This earlier Language Of The Birds MP3 collection consists of 32 field recordings of bird songs adapted using 4 specially designed software programs and accurately slowed down and lowered in pitch so that the bird songs can be clearly heard. The audio is then prepared using various solo instruments, and occasionally groups of instruments where there is more than one bird in the recordings (for example - the sax ensemble performing the Canadian Geese flock landing on a lake gives a new meaning to "free jazz."
We have a unique audio creation program we have developed that we call "The Audio Magician". This software will create very unique music/sound pieces that include spontaneous improvisation in many ways, depending on the parameters we give it.
We also have a software/AI program that will on it's own generate unusual audio patterns and improvisations based on various math formulas given for each instrument/part that then combine into sound.

Sun Ra (May 22, 1914 – May 30, 1993) was an amazing American jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player (one of the first to use an electric piano and synthesizers for jazz). He was a poet, and was known for his "cosmic" ideas, large output of music, experimental music and colorful and often dramatic mythical and theatrical performances. Sun Ra made many recordings of his work, many of which are available for download, and as CDs and classic vinyl LPs.
The Music
We used our experimental and Artificial Intelligence music software to "listen" to dozens of examples of Sun Ra's work and then programmed it to improvise 11 pieces based on the results.
This collection is prepared in 3 sections, named after visions and theories often described by Sun Ra.... "Up Under Other Stars"
"The Other Side of Time"
"The Alter Destiny" Performed by:
"The People's Conspiracy Jazz Ensemble"
You can listen to an MP3 introduction to these collections, "Everything Is Music", with Sun Ra speaking of his philosophy... over original background music/sound.

Sound Reflections
This is a collection of 14 pieces that are samples of various audio experiments we have worked on using specialized audio software with aspects of artificial intelligence. The music in each of these pieces has been generated entirely by the software/AI.
We programmed one of our specialty software programs to create large scale pieces of music, meaning composed using many voices/instruments, while randomly blending and mixing the many parts. The results at times were quite mysterious and strange, and often uniquely harmonious in a very original way.

This collection of audio experiments was created using math related to crystals and patterns of what is known as "sacred geometry" to program software to generate 4 pieces of music.
Every year on Halloween I have prepared unusual, mysterious and often spooky audio recordings.
All of these recordings are created using natural sounds, (flowing stream, earthquake, beehive, northern lights and many more) transcribed into music using specially designed software. What the software does, is take any natural sound such a that of a running stream, examine it's tonal and rhythm structure and change it into musical notes that represents that structure. Then those musical notes, sometimes quite complex, are loaded into software that generates sound using digital technology. In the case of the above mentioned recording of a running stream, you then have the music of water.
We played a variety of pieces of what is commonly called "smooth jazz" (not my favorite music for sure, but simple enough and we wanted to see what happens) and programmed a piece of software to create the patterns involved and create pieces of music. Amazing as it is, it actually created some interesting pieces of music.

There is a unique and often fascinating British writer named "John Michell" who wrote about his idea that in the ancient world, at sacred sites, there were rotations of "perpetual choirs" that chanted at special sites, at all times to keep their world in balance. The perpetual choirs chanting, were... "Celebrating the order of the heavens and guiding the ritual order of life on earth"
The art below are 2 paintings by John Michell.
He also had unique ideas about numerology, geometry, and theories related to the Chinese geomancy of Feng Shui. His wrote that Stonehenge and the other great prehistoric monuments of the English landscape are laid out in accordance with sacred geometry to fulfil a magical purpose: bringing harmony to the land.
So we decided to attempt to use some his concepts of number and geometry to have our software generate spontaneous chanting and choir music. This collection of 6 pieces is the results of those audio experiments...
Something a little different:
The Music of the Wind
An Aeolian harp (also wind harp) is a musical instrument that is played by the wind. Named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind, the traditional Aeolian harp is essentially a wooden box including a sounding board, with strings stretched lengthwise across two bridges. It is often placed in a slightly opened window where the wind can blow across the strings to produce sounds. The strings can be made of different materials (or thicknesses) and all be tuned to the same pitch, or identical strings can be tuned to different pitches. Besides being the only strung instrument played solely by the wind, the Aeolian harp is the only stringed instrument that plays solely harmonic frequencies.
Henry David Thoreau was fascinated by the aeolian harp, and also mentioned many times in his journals his amazement at what he called the "telegraph harp", the sound created by the humming waves from the wires of the telegraph lines radiating radiating in the wooden telegraph poles.
Henry David Thoreau was fascinated by the "Aeolian harp",
so much so that he built his own harp, pictured below...
We have prepared 5 audio recordings of various wind harps we have created using specialized recording software. (Note: The audio of a wind harp is at times softer than normal instruments.)

The O'Carolan Canons
"Carolan,
the last of the Irish bards, slept on a rath, and ever after
the fairy tunes ran in his head, and made him the great man
he was." - W.B. Yeats -
from
Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry.
Most
traditional Irish music is descended from the Bards, a caste of itinerant
musicians who played a wire-stringed harp known as the "clarseach",
which has a chiming, resonant tone. The blind harper, Turlough O'Carolan
(1670-1738), was the most famous of the latter-day bards.
This collection is made up of 7 interesting spontaneous multi-part canons generated by specialty software using melodies from O'Carolan pieces.

There are numerous recordings available of J.R. Tolkien reading his books and poems. Within one of these readings there are 4 recordings of him actually singing 4 songs based on poems from his books.
So, we used one of our specialized audio software/AI programs to "listen" to the songs , and then take what it transcribed and "learned" about Tolkien's unique style of singing, create a piece of music and then had it create a harp (or piano) background for the song.
This rather unique music is what the software created from the 4 songs.
