Hi all,
Just thought it was about time I posted some music - the first two tracks in a
project of mine to grow acid techno:

WOW! :-) And since the association shot into my mind while
reading the subject line I have to ask: you dont happen to be affiliated with
the Lego Sound System from Austria, do you? Its a (I think) vienna
based underground sound system which was mostly active in Italy
last time I heard of them. And since they do mostly acid, I had to ask :-)
The tracks were made and recorded in realtime, using a
form of genetic
programming, which develops formal production rules (loosely based on l
systems) for a text based musical score language. This is good for taking
melodic or percussion patterns and slowly developing them, but in some cases
the changes can be quite radical, and can take you by suprise. you can also
hand edit the rules on the fly - which is handy for things like forcing a 4/4
beat, which is sometimes desirable :)
The drum sounds are sampled from the venerable 808, also some synthesised
percussion in there, all synthesis is done by a fixed function performance
synth based on the code from SSM.
More info about the software here:

This page is confusing me. Can you same me a bit of time and let
me know if your synth is available standalone (without a GUI)?
That'd be sweet, since it has a nice aggressive sound.
