Download this project! Project Notes
This project plays random chords and analyzes them on screen.
Seven kinds of chords are randomly produced:
Major
Minor
Dominant seventh
Minor seventh
Dimished
Suspended fourth
Suspended fourth and seventh
Chords are played at random intervals using random bass-keys, and are decorated with five random arpeggios in combination with two random trills, two random flings and two random resolutions. This produces an 'artsy' Rachmaninoff-like kind of music.
Enjoy!

Cool! Sounds quite Jazzy!
Maybe not
(view all replies)Do you mind if I use some of the scripts? I will give credit.
not at all! Go ahead, remix and have fun...
Wonderful!!!!!!!!
I love the focus on music that many of your projects demonstrate. I particularly love this project, not only because I'm fascinated by the experimentation with random compostion, but also because I love Glenn Gould as the visual centerpiece!
Nettes Musikbilden! in my best German! Nice project, please check ot some of mine!
I play the piano(well I used to)! You make amazing stuff! I added you to my friends list! :)
i like it!
yawn...
Sounds a bit booring!!!!
Martin, thank you very much for the compliment, and also for your idea about the vibraphone.
Thank you! Your continuing project "Combo" is the best musical project I saw at SCRATCH until now. It should be a "featured project" and also be one of the examples in the next SCRATCH-Release!
I just added some more variations and decorations to it to make it sound more 'virtuoso' like.
I added a vibraphone at: (link to project)">(link to project)
If you mix instrument 1 with 12 it sounds of: "Chick Corea and Gary Burton in concert" :)
A very simple but interesting variation is choice of instrument: I downloaded it and it sounds realy good e.g with intstrumet No.54: "Voice Oohs". (You could also change the background picture, but the name of your program doesn't fit anymore after that change)
Really an improvement: It's getting more and more to a real computer-composer. Now it sounds much better than before.
Added additional chords and arpeggios.
Thanks Martin. In fact, that's where I eventually want to take the project to - 'real' composing, that is. I'm still experimenting with the kind of structures that would do the job (thinking about a set of pop-cadences, or blues/boogie) Any ideas?
Hi Jens, that's realy good: It's the first random-music project in SCRATCH I see, that uses structured chords. It sounds already quite good (but more like "John Cage" than Rachmaninoff :-) I would like to see, that it evolves to a real computer-composer (even more structure in the random of baseline and rythm). There is a very interesting project by Jay and Eric at: (link to project)">(link to project) that does a kind of structured random composition (without structured chords).
