i thought my Wacom pen would give me an edge, but the notes just cut off too quickly.

five years pass...

enjoying today's Google doodle. primitive but pretty ambient sequencer for Oskar Fischinger's birthday. be sure to click on the cog at the bottom because that is where the delay button lives and everything needs delay.

unfortunately you can only have delay OR phaser whereas my general musical policy is to turn both to the max and enjoy the resulting soup for several hours without actually remembering to add any kind of dynamic or melodic progression, but I still have a pretty soupy noise going on so I'm pleased

progression is bad, extended ambient soup forever

i couldn't help it, high school me was like "oooh i'll draw a swastika"

sounded awesome on delay though

lol ive been getting a ton of hits on an old animation i made and put on youtube tagging Fischinger, everyone saying "google brought me here" was wondering what was up

And you know? I really like this. It just loops along nicely.

this is awesome. i have loved Oskar Fischinger even after seeing his work on Arts Channel which was local public access tv in Atlanta back in 2002-2003. it was so cool because it was this hand-made stop motion animation that was very experimental using this constantly developing theoretical framework of synchronizing music to visuals and trying to figure out the analog between colors and shapes and tones etc. very cool stuff. also feel like it was very rooted in that great 20s art deco futurist german expressionism art style that was so sick. one of the greatest abstract filmmakers of all time.

Once you get a pattern you like you can manually toggle the "key" button to create chord changes.

This in the key of E. Create a blues progression by shifting key to A and B at the end of each phrase: E-A-E-B-A-E
