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!

Don't know wky I never notices this project (and I'm a piano lover....): incredibly well done!!!! It looks almost real (shame that the new flash player is unable to let people know how great this project is...)
Glenn Gould! The greatest Canadian ever.
wow!
comment me if you do
btw do you like my pic?
this is ok i guess
catchy toon! (-:
Cool!!!
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!
I didn't realize it was Glenn Gould until now!
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)
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) that does a kind of structured random composition (without structured chords).
