Phasing Percussion

A picture from my mother, while she and my father were visiting Palo Alto for Christmas.


I have been experimenting with having several streams of percussion sounds out of phase. In this case it is three separate sounds and they are controlled by a single master tempo. I am beginning to like this work, which is an extension of some earlier phase experiments in SuperCollider. The patterns still feel a little predictable, but I am starting to find the sweet spot. It looks like these will be the last 2 things I put into my 2010 folder on my server. So goes 2010!
