Sonic Pi code for a groovy eighties song

Primary LanguageRuby

Infinite Eighties

This is a song you can copy and paste into Sonic Pi. It reminds me of a groovy eighties song but it's infinitely long and changes as you listen to it.

Installation

  1. Download Sonic Pi.

  2. Copy and paste the code inside and press play.

Information

This song was made with some simple rhythm randomizing techniques you can check out on my blog. This was intended to add some color to the rhythm randomizations that I was experimenting with in that post.

From a music theory standpoint, this technique of creating and randomizing simple rhythms could be used to create modern pop music. It could never create a melody or have knowledge of how the sections might relate to one another.
