cool
DID THEY DIE!?
I love music!!!!
except country and rap @:D
fun fun
This was quite interesting!
max looks like a weak language.
has any one ever told this chick she is amazingly beautiful. I mean she is one really pretty girl, the fact that she is smart is just and addition to the many qualities that complement her. any way great info. Love the channel guys! now you guys have one more humble subscriber.
cool as always RB
Shes Hawt
That smile in the end was funny!!
yoooo
I’m happy I subscribed to Rocketboom, learn something new with every video. :d
But isn’t that fast forward play with that clip he just made?
Thats actually pretty simple -_-
Or i just don’t get it ^_^;;
Damn, she IS pretty!
I agree.
I like to build software synths with synth edit, it’s a pretty cool little free package, but it’s a fucking beast to learn.
I’ve suggested that you set music to PI. Transform 3.14159.. to a set of 9 notes. This is truly a song of nature.
..or microsia for pc.
She’s the future mother of my children, all 12 of them.
can’t focus to what she’s saying :< anyone has this problem? :D
wow i thought she was gonna do that guy the entire time…gotta stop watching porno
She’s no Molly :(
She reminds me of Morena Baccarin. Reminds, not look like.
Boy, she’s got the most beautifull nose i’ve ever seen!
How about I fuck the shit out of you, then we scan the soundwaves of your moans and make some sweet generative music.
random atonal crap is going to the top five hits 2009
Ok - NO idea what I just watched - but she sure is cute! She maybe a little Irish? Irish with some Asian thrown in somewhere?
I swear she looks like that elf chick from LOTR.
And after reading most of the comments, I’ve noticed they had nothing to do with Generative Music, but they were about Ellie’s epic hotness. LOL
What a complete and total waste of time! But she does appear to be somewhat do-able.
This is awesome; science meets art.
talentless.
music cannot be made wiith a computer…
That’s quite an eloquent point you make there.
i don’t understand what he did at 1:25, somebody tell me pls
thats cool
really boring! bring back Molly!
JBTheAnimator, I noticed that too. What he described wouldn’t sound anything like that. I wonder if he was wanting to keep something for later…?
as she said right afterwards.
he didn’t actually create a recording of her voice, but used the microphone input to generate the 3d-spectrogram, which when played back sounds (of course) exactly like her voice again.
however, i don’t really get what the big advantage of this method compared to just making a recording is.
DO NOT DIS ELLIE!
@PlayGenSeriousGames Molly is still there, this is just a different series.
Looking good Ellie!
Ellie, oh, She is so cute. I wanna take her to Dairy Queen for milkshakes and tell her stories of the high seas.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wow! Great show today! Generative music is super interesting. Haha he used the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s performance of the Hallelujah Chorus. That’s awesome. Thanks Rocketboom.
huh?
LOL!
I’d just like to give her a “milkshake”.
i want to cum on her face
Ellie is hot, hot, hot…..
shes hot…but needs to get a better top
That’ll scrape off some tubers for the day.
God damn shes hot
Ellie is gorgeous!!! :)
had me at oral
Programs to play with sound; does it still classify as music, or I should think, fall into the catagory of performance art.
@newbalancerun04 Yup, she could sell uranium tablets and I’d buy 100!
nice =P
What happens if you mix generative grammar with media lab?
first
I know I should write down something more “Intellectual” but damn is this girl hot I mean she could make a man’s head spin around!
I love how they don’t give web addresses for the software they mention.
hahaha!! I kinda had the same thought.
What software is that? Hook it up!
Ellie moves like she has some kind of disorder. I’m going to crusade for a cure for it…who’s with me!
Generative music is the auto-tune for egg-heads. And I don’t mean it in a derogative way, except when the auto-tune is used to prop up untalented celebrities and deceive people.
And who says that a computer is a worse composer than a human mind (who can take the credit of designing the algorithms?)
We’re so accustomed to associate music to human artistic performance to forget that music is meant to the ear and not to the eye. Chances are that real instruments and real voice will fade away along with the capability of computers to emulate their timbres and tones. Up to the point that the listeners won’t care any more about the timbres and the tones of the tradition and will look for new sounds (maybe sampled from the real world). It’s already happening.
In a sense it’s sad (and I will keep playing my guitar no matter what), but when the primitive man invented music to accompany tribal dances he used drums because he had nothing better. Probably he would have been happy to have computer generated podcasts going through powerfull woofers and tweeters, and operate rituals like the rave parties of today.
PS. I assume that “atonal crap” is Schoenberg’s.
PPS. Mrs Rountree has to change her nail varnish.

These digital meditation aids serve a real purpose.
While racing through a day of earning a living without thought to the unnatural pace of things, some technological help is useful. Fight fire with fire.
Take a spiritually oriented inventory anywhere it is possible to get a break from the forces of a digitally driven schedule that has one motoring at 65+ mph.
Drop ones blood pressure by up to 20 points.
Realize how wankered one’s interior is getting before accidentally jumping down someone’s throat.
Keep a busy day from becoming too empty and meaningless.
Ellie seems to be one of those genuine “nerd” girls.
Most girls as hot as Ellie would be trying to show their assets as much as possible trying to attract more viewers, but she seems to truly care about this stuff.
INTERESTING!
ohh wooww! =D
If you’re into s-o-U-n-D you might also want to
learn about Supercollider. Ya gotta love those algorithmic compositions.
http://www.audiosynth.com/
SuperCollider is an environment and programming language originally released in 1996 by James McCartney for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.
Since then it has been evolving into a system used and further developed by both scientists and artists working with sound. It is an efficient and expressive dynamic programming language which makes it an interesting framework for acoustic research, algorithmic music and interactive programming.
assets… tehee
She would be so hot if she got rid of her makeup!
I hate how my ideas never are unique :(
Damn, you´re gorgeous Ellie! ;-P
stay still woman. always twitching!!!
cool
@csmceo nope, looks like its just you… tell me how that goes aye?
You got it!
I admire her acting talent as well, ModeLTU.
she reminds me of an older miranda cosgrove
I would take Ellie’s voice and make it say naughty words back at me…lol.
Maybe she’s all twitchy because she’s nervous.
I wonder what the Mandelbrot set would sound like. Though instead of using a high-tech software program, I might just try weed.
And what is the point of expressing sound as a 3-D image…Any one who understands Fourier series, knows that there are simpler ways to express music as a summation of sine waves.
Hearing a song that didn’t sound completely dissonant would have been nice… and I don’t get why all that tech was necessary to play Messiah in Fast Forward…
she looks like an older miranda cossgrove xD
holy crap
She really does look like Miranda Cossgrove
shes just expressive or animated. i wouldnt call it twitchy
degenerative music !!!!
hey that was a great show!
i want to try, sometime, scanning my stubbly whiskers as a three dimensional plot to see what they’d sound like! but, alas, mr dubois’ program probably doesn’t read sonograms that contain gray lines or areas.
Why are people calling her twitchy? She’s being animated and expressive in her presentation…
Elle’s hot and interesting clip.
you just read the mind of every person watching this video
I assume this reply is a hotdog.
Ellie’s a “10″ !!
How predictable. Put a woman within a mile of the internet, and a million school boys wet themselves.
So, generative music anyone!?
This is the coolest thing ever.
My weiner, her mouth. Good times.
I know Ellie will have done some research before going to the interview and so her grasping the concept of the image of her voice was a bit understated in terms of audience comprehension- but a little vote of who knows what that means would be nice to substantiate this.
And in keeping with the theme of ‘Ellie is hot’ the number of babies you would have with her can be added to your vote.
So for me it’s Yes (I understood the voice image ) and 2 (babies - a boy and a girl, or 2 hermaphrodites).
that is really cool
Is that the Fancy Pants Adventure song?
so, that’s like an X-Y pad, basically …
People in the P5 Glove community (a cheap virtual reality glove) seem to use MAX to do live performances using the glove.
But the audio/visual thing isn’t really my scene, so this video was enlightening. I’d never really seen MAX in action before.
I liked that visual programming thing he’s using at 3:10. Is that what MAX is based around? I like it, very simple and intuitive. Reminds me a lot of the “Juice” robot simulator by NateW.
THis is why I love Rocketboom. Not only is it bamf information, but the exposure to artists, expressive forms, and in such a user friendly way, it’s unbelievably exciting. I look forward to rocketboom’s broadcasts daily. Kudos from Seattle!
Woo I knew she would eventually mention electroplankton, its the coolest game for DS
1:46 …someone looks like a serial killer.
And now for some REAL music. Algorithmic sounds/noise put my neurons on edge.
This guy will blow your mind. Listen to the whole thing as it gets pretty wild 1/2 way thru.
LOL
Did you see how many comments on the Weird Al episode?
1,871
Almost beat the combined Sesame Street episodes.
1,940
Coming that close is a serious butt kicking in tuber world!
Damn you Weird Al Yank My Dick for surpassing the David Blaine Central Park episode which has held first spot on YT for the past year. As you may recall, (hint, hint, hint) I composed the music for that wonderful episode. Watch out Yank My Dick cause I’ve got something in the works that’ll blow your scraggly hair right out of the pores in your head.
when she said ‘oral’ i was thinking ‘yea.. i’d like some from ya’
yessssssss 8]
..aural
ellie looks good
Hopefully you folks are aware that since last week all your shows encoded for Tivo downloads have a persistent, extremely annoying, audio gargle effect going on. Whatever you changed recently on your Tivo uploads needs to be looked at again.
As with any sound manipulation, to what ever extreme its taken, the most important part is the source of that sound, and degree the manipulator decides to put himself in it. I would not call it music. At least not in this case. Nice programs though.
“I didn’t actually record your voice, I just plotted it.”
That means you recorded it you pretentious moron.
Well, if she was moving wierd it’s only because I was ‘with’ her the night before.
he just ment that he didn’t record it in the traditional fation, rather than recording the voice, he recorded the data
it’s kinda the same actually. When you record something digitally, it always will “plot” the data.
ok this guy is weird…..seriously…..
hipster scum
LOL
It seems he’s not really sure about anything?
Everything he says goes up at the end?
Like it’s a question?
Even when it’s a statement?
Anyway, he’s not really doing anything that sounds any different to what has been done before?
Seems he’s using a “new” method of making sounds that anyone could have made on a regular computer & readily available software10+ years ago?
That’s my opinion?
Sorry, I get really annoyed by the question inflection?
Great episode!
MOAR KNOW YOUR MEME
i’d so like to bone Ellie!
How come when you speed something up, the pitch also rises– why can’t we speed something up without increasing the pitch?
you can do that, if youre good with software
Well I hope you took care of whatever it is that you gave her while you were “with” her.
No, ppl didn’t get the joke. She’s moving weird cuz I wore her out. :)
@ LuckyViolinist
When you speed something up, you compress sound waves so you can play them in a shorter period of time. This means you decrease the length of the wave, but when you do that, you also increase the frequency (as they are inversely proportional). And when the frequency goes up, you have a higher pitch.
And you can in fact change the speed without changing the pitch. Try open-source Audacity for example. But there is lots of other software.
You can - you can change the pitch or the tempo in just about any software package. But if you try to modify it too much, it won’t sound right. But 25% of either without the other is fine generally.
this was pretty unimpressive.
we can do that, there are programs that change the tempo of things, kind of like changing the speed, but it wont raise the pitch
hahahaha
I just want to say you are right.
she is beatiful!
I Love Electroplankton! So glad you know about that.
Ellie > Molly
Ellie=Molly

Oh, um, okay..? I hadn’t really noticed… *now cant help but stare*
what?
sexi girl looking for a sexi guy^^ .. Or girl hihi
does anyone listen to what shes saying?
She said ‘Oral’ a lot.
Aural.
degenerate music
excellent work!
Nodal is a very simple to use generative music software.
