GagakuBot

In response to all of the positive feedback about the comics, I give you this: a picture of a Max/MSP patch which is influenced by gagaku music. The patch takes the note possibilities of the Sho and combines those with the note possiblities of the other flutes in the gagaku ensemble and applies Markov chain transition probabilites to make the rock happen there. To do: percussion emulation of some kind, although it already sounds pretty wild and menacing. Email me if you want to try the patch out.
