Glass Harmonica Synth and Visual Music

For best viewing please set the sprocket on the YouTube window to the highest setting. The synthesized glass harmonica is the result of experiments in the design of timbre and in Pythagorean and Just Intonation tunings I was applying in the 1980s to explorations of common ground for hearing and seeing, especially in connection with my oscillographic and laser animation work in public concerts and lecture-demonstrations; don't expect to hear equal tempered tuning. Connect the stereo outputs for the music to the xy inputs of an oscilloscope if you want to see one of my favorite early visual music pieces. It worked beautifully for my laser animation system too but its lines were too fine to be recorded on a video system so that version is gone until I put another laser animation system together. If there's anything I've mastered in the decades I've been working with emerging technology in the arts, it's the work-around. For years I've been trying to do a piece like this with elements that don't really want to communicate easily with each other. Sometimes I've gotten fairly close to something I thought worth keeping but it's always ended up in the trash until this latest experiment came up with something worth considering. The emergent music process, as instructive as it may be, mostly generates trash but the process wouldn't be experimental and full of new insights if you knew ahead of time what you would be getting in the end. Ironically this piece was born on a day that I started reading another book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, this one titled "Fooled by Randomness - The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets". Instead of chalking a piece like this up to randomness or chance, I tend to credit luck. I haven't kept count of how many times I've juggled similar elements looking for harmonious correspondences. Today after a beautiful walk up South Hills in San Luis Obispo I walked into my place, sat down with my instruments and put together this piece with just a whiff of premeditation and the guidance of luck (following my nose). Of course I've been working on it for years; it just happened to pop today. A bow to the Muses and their Guide. The music was composed on an alphaSyntauri back in the mid 1980s in one of my Kelly Lane Studios.
