I saw someone called Murm I think, or something along those lines, doing an interesting thing with modulateScale and a high contrast gradient and my brain went "Oooh fake 3D transforms".
As would be me, I had a little play over in flok; because Nudel's got some bad MSN weather at the moment and my brain can't handle all the moving emojis.
It's over! 31 days of algorithmic music in @mercury together with @linalab
See the full list and the code here: https://codeberg.org/tmhglnd/jamuary-2026
Day 29 - full of filters - self-explanatory https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZIYdaZe9krJxqf98SfYao5PzJjH7SnsPcX
Day 30 - middle ages - Sample from the Foguerons a Barcelona https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZPSdaZxfIt0D5PspHm70K69CHLefHtgBYk
Day 31 - we had a nice rhythm, but then we crashed, really https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZBSdaZc8rczBFmpSfPebBxuKRoBRp6WIBk

Day 27 - vaporwave: We did it for the aesthetic. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZlLMaZckvCSq0DUq0GT9dvIORhOLz0vSXy

Coming closer to the end @linalab
Day 23 - cheesy world, chopping Kylie samples. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZwWfaZOWjkHVrJpHhuRJ1xvX9bIQd4wRB7
Day 24 - use a different language: Struggling to try sclang in Flok with ProxySpace. We're not super in SuperCollider https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZBWfaZ2URwM2XLVOyA6kJtLVu0PHW1rPtk
Day 25 - fancy functions: we used a few mercury list-functions we never use to build melodies https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ9e2aZxVCra1q8kkpA8Ja0Mgwn880IO4N7
#jamuary26 #mercurylivecoding #livecoding #improvisation #fromscratch #flok #jam
Still going with @linalab
Day 19 - muziek om op te dansen: A happy hardcore try, or gabber. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZasLaZCiUuSoKu0DBIYt8GqI65i7LB2eIV
Day 20 - percussion fell off the stage: it did not have any cymbalance. Thanks Jedo for the Drum Rolls on Freesound. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZnA8aZl2YhSzFqv8551C8jImIBf8XQiIBX
Day 21 - nice noises: Many types of noises with different modulations https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZiQmaZB1Y8u8q6WuyCQHctNctp8uHaLaSy
Day 22 - música para dormir: zzzz... https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZTPhaZWIwO5dYUQV5FchgWKBqCizwx5JYX

@linalab and I got a bit behind on the schedule! And forgot posting as well. Trying to catch up
Day 12: 4 on the floor: We just clicked the record button. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZutcNZMn66QTxhoz5eP5zSOKGoYX77cOCX
Day 13 suspicious karplus: Using Karplus effect in mercury, and a custom (or not documented...) synth. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZXoyaZ52kYnw5yh4XipmMtJ0D3ukOHj9GX
Day 14 everything is a chord: PolySynths and polySamples, with some errors here and there, managing too many voices gets out of hand... https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ7hXaZNwaaXKrqf4pCf5wfa8K55fB74GNX
Day 15 out of tune: FM synth in Mercury, soon in the documentation (hopefully)... https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZEaHaZnRDpDxovCVHWKOutHaROi4PonQ4k
Day 16/17, skipped for now...
Day 18: we love repetition: we love repetition. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZUGHaZjLkbpQv7d3LdXNMGrtemwmtyiGzX

Jamuary with @linalab
Day 8 - modulation: Using mercury modulators for filters, amplitude, frequency, and other things. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZtlANZet3YCyWPd3jnENH01cb5PpP69iH7
Day 9 - voices: We used RAVE and models trained with voices from #intelligentinstrumentslab https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZUGaNZxBYQbOWiMvhnwtFIgGIhVkNxttak
Day 10 - time trouble: Samples from the pocket operator. We tried to change the rhythm every time it felt too comfortable. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZaSGNZtkzw5IsRIypjb4HftKoemHE9b2V0
Day 11 - cumbia: Samples from Picó, an Ableton live device developed by Lina with colombian cumbia sounds. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZPhiNZUXp171GECqFqUvBhprr6DXsJaRE7

Jamuary Day 6 with @linalab : rock band - power chords, metal drums, twin pedal, fuzz and distortions... maybe it's more metal band, but ok. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ1bENZF2F4As9Hm7hthPE64pX2HYUzviaV
Day 7: staccato - short samples and polyrhythm https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZxuUNZES17v9YSIkHIy1g33KRnqhgKf370
Day 8: modulation - Using mercury modulators for filters, amplitude, frequency, and other things. https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZtlANZet3YCyWPd3jnENH01cb5PpP69iH7

This font reminds me of a particular band ...
"sho" font freshly baked into #nudel!
Jamuary Day 4: Microtonal - We (@linalab) recorded a soundscape (cowbells), analyzed the overtones of the spectrum and created a custom tuning system from the frequencies https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZCwKNZV39t4pBVleJgrkCu9j8aI46gqELk
Jamuary Day 5: Drone - We tried to not make any fast change and play with textures https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZayqNZYPVvIDCebEBoOxICX46E8VcityFk
