Hi Tom,
Very cool image thanks for posting. Yes I did mean literally, I thought you might be one of the lucky ones to be around those innovative areas and to have worked at bitwig wow!
I’m using ableton and cakewalk. Cakewalk now too has non linear similar to ableton and bitwig but I need a score or the ability to write music the traditional way as well so I use cakewalk more and sometimes slave abelton via rewire. I also have a sleeper program I think is the best scoring program out there called Harmony assistant from France. I do most of my scoring there and then bring that in for further break down in ableton or cakewalk.
For my aleatoric areas, I wrote a few cal scripts that generate random notes, random patch events, random note values and random velocity events, Also a 12 tone row box generator that shows in an excel spreadsheet the 12 tone row, table and all it’s combos and chords.
I noticed your random midi generator and was thinking that would make a great VST plugin. I’m really impressed with your work and enjoyed your films and music as well. The ideas behind what you are doing and the purity of your music are impressive.
