One from the archives (2018): A live recording made from only two samples, using generative sequencing (using my own tools) and probably the (by far!) most amount of effects, layers & signal chains I've ever used on a track... Granular synthesis, time stretching/slicing, resonators, filters, erosion... it gets pretty wild & textured from ~2:30 once the cellular automatas controlling various granular synth params had a bit of tantrum for a minute or so... :)

Always wanted to hear that on a large PA. Some of the sounds almost remind me of the high voltage zapps produced by tesla coils...

The samples:
1) A needle skipping on a dusty vinyl record
2) An (unintelligible) voice-like AI sample...

@neauoire @chrisamaphone Have you ever played around with L-Systems (I bet you did :)? It seems there's a lot of conceptual overlap here, even though they don't offer much in terms of control flow or Turing completeness. I just think they generally still remain somewhat under exposed/explored (beyond the traditional Turtle graphics applications). If you attach different kinds of interpreters, they can be pushed pretty far... In the past I have used them for genetic programming, text & code generation, music composition, and even basic stack machines (where the L-System acts as an iterative macro expansion stage)...

A couple of FizzBuzz examples (incl. a super basic Forth-like VM) using thi.ng/lsys...

Been working on this project for a while, but think I'm ready to make it public. Hope to write more about it soon.

"LFO Infusion Tisane" - a new track on #soundcloud. An #ambient #soundscape done 100% on the #behringer neutron. Recorded outdoors, running the Neutron on a battery pack, into a Zoom MS-60B, into a Tascam digital recorder, into my AKG K712 headphones. #Battery pack is charged from a #solar panel, so this is a totally self contained #studio... (even more if I use also the lunchbox #eurorack #modular
