Sonic Pi and Hydra inspired by Ryoji Ikeda

Relaxnow · June 12, 2023, 10:44pm

It’s not a clean hardcore noise cover by Ryoji Ikeda.
Just inspired by his stuff. I guess I like a bit melodic stuff mixed in.

Hydra is set to have Sonic Pi as a source, so we can use the waveforms as live visuals.

I really like his stuff below here.
Next step: Recreate a setup to do something similar in Sonic Pi

Anyone up an exploration challenge based on Ryoji Ikeda?

I did a similar thing with Hydra / TidalCycles / flok, also inspired by the Ryoji Ikeda Pure Data Tutorial by Takumi Ogata.

from AVJAm Berlin, September

My Hydra code - the last 2 commands use audio input

shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.05, 1).scrollX(0, 10.05).out(o0)
shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.05, 1).repeat(8).scrollX(0, 11.3).out(o0)
shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.0075, 1).repeat(44).scrollX(0, 11).out(o0)

shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.075, 1)
  .repeat(44).scrollX(0, 11).repeatY(5, () => (time * Math.random() * 7.85)).out(o0)

shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.075, 1)
  .repeat(12).scrollX(0, 11).repeatY(5, () => (time * Math.random() * 7.85))
  .layer(shape(4, 1, 0).color(1,1,1,()=>Math.random()>0.999?1:0)).out(o0)

shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.075, 1).repeat(12)
  .scrollX(0, 11).repeatY(5, () => (time * Math.random() * 7.85))
  .layer(shape(4, 1, 0)
  .color(1,1,1,()=>Math.random()>0.995?1:0))
  .modulate(noise(23.07),()=>a.fft[0]).out(o0)

shape(4, 1, 0).scale(1, 0.05, 1).scrollX(0, ()=>0.05 * a.fft[0]).out(o0)
