Michael Palace and Rob Braswell formed the musical group
10010010 to explore generative
music. With
their unique background in music and science they have begun to chart new
territory in
music involving stochastic properties and genetic algorithms.
Palace
releases electronic music compositions under the name horchata.
His music focuses
on four major
elements: complex beat music, dark ambient soundscapes,
programmed
compositional
glitch music, and field recordings. Often a composition will include several of
these
elements. Palace has worked for a number of years as a research scientist at
the
University of
New Hampshire's Complex System Research Center. His work there
focuses on
necromass or dead wood in Amazonia. During his
numerous field visits to the
rainforest, he has recorded sounds using various microphones and
minidisk recorders.
Modification
of many computer simulations have yielded some interesting sound generating
and
compositional programs which are featured in newer recordings by Palace.
Braswell has
been involved with many bands from rock music to experimental electronic. He
has over 20
years experience in programming in C, Fortran, Perl, MATLAB, IDL, R, shell
scripts, and
DHTML. Science topics explored by Braswell include global and regional climate
change;
ecosystem biogeochemistry. His mathematical abilities prove vital in
10010010’s
efforts to develop a generative music
program.

the wave - 01
is a program that generates *.wav files.
the program
uses 6 oscillators that can be set to any frequency.
each sound can
have various harmonic frequencies calculated as well.
noise, ringmodulation (2), and filters (up, down,
resonance, and
random) are all part of the program.
