About:
The Endless Ambient Server Page is here.
The Endless Instrumental Quartet Page is here.
The Endless Music Server is an experiment to create and present new instrumental and ambient music continuously. Two different compositions are offered continuously. A new unique variation of the piece is produced several times per day and the .mp3 audio files are posted on-line here. After a new variation is created, the previous version is no longer accessible. Notated scores in downloadable .pdf format are available. The Instrumental Quartet is designed to be performed. The source material is changed every week or so, and entirely new pieces with a new set of variations is initiated.
One of the music choices is process-based Ambient minimalism using MuseScore and pitch stretching software. The sequence four parts is randomly changed for each new variation by server software. In theory, there are over 250 unique variations are possible from the set of 16 source files so that a given posted piece will be a fraction of the entirety. Every week one set of the four source files is replaced so that subsequent variations will be completely new for coming week. There is no charge for the .mp3 files – simply right-clock on the player and download the file if you like it.
A link is included in the player page that will display an un-metered notated score showing the relationship of the voices and the harmonies. A time scale in minutes is provided along the bottom of the score for reference. The score is in .pdf format and can be downloaded.
The Instrumental Quartet is a randomized combination of 8 possible variations for each of the four parts resulting in millions of possible permutations for a given variation. The .pdf score is designed for performance and may be downloaded at no charge.
The results are posted on-line by an Apache server running on Ubuntu Linux.
