Brian Green is creating generative music in Ableton Live using sounds shared on Twitter as source material, and is looking for other musical techies to connect with on Twitter:

What i did in the video is i took the amazing software by soundplusdesign and i made a sound, i then went to the soundplusdesign twitter and another person i follow Ojects and i used a sound from each of them, i then used my generative set up with ableton and put each of the three sounds into a chain and started to mix them up together.

I have to be honest i was recently thinking of deleting my twitter i realized how its really not that usefull to me but i thought before i get rid of it lets try this tweet a sound thing out and im glad i have it now.

THE PLAN: so this is what i want to do im going to keep making videos of this little project, but what i want you all to do even if you don’t make electronic music, even if you dont make any kind of music download this program and mess around with it post some tweets of what you make.

Basically i want to follow a bunch of people who do use this and keep messing around with sounds we all create and make little videos and tracks such as the one below. Follow me and post a link to your twitter in the comments section of this page if you are doing this i will also post a little list of people who are tweeting sound as well as i come across them.

Solipsistic Nation, a podcast that covers all genres of electronic music, sent word about an upcoming show focusing on electronic musicians on Twitter.

Here are the details:

If you’d like to participate in the Twitter mix here’s what I’m looking for:

1. Your best track. The duration or the genre of electronic music is not important. I’m looking for quality stuff.
2. Keeping in the spirit of Twitter, I’d like you to record a 140 character intro for the song. It can be why you chose the song to be featured on the Twitter mix or what inspired the song or how you recorded, etc. Anything to give the listener a connection to your song.
3. I’d also like you to include your website where people can find you on the web and on Twitter. This bit of information is not limited to 140 characters. Both your intro and your personal info can be sent to me as an MP3 at solipsisticnation@gmail.com or you can record it on my voice mail at 1-619-717-6322.
4. Please keep your intro and personal infor brief one to two minutes.

Here’s Solipsistic Nation’s page on Twitter.

If you’re already using Twitter, this is a great opportunity to get your music heard. If you’re not using Twitter, this might be a good opportunity to give the free service a try and see what it’s about.

And, while you’re there, follow my account, podcasting_news, where I post updates about electronic music, new media and other interesting tidbits.

Noteflight today launched a very cool Web-based application that lets you create and edit music, in standard notation, using a standard Web browser.

The score can be played directly from the browser, shared with individuals, published online or printed as sheet music for use by live musicians. Scores may also be embedded in other pages such as blogs or personal websites.

Here’s an example from the Noteflight site: Read more…

Rifflet is a new site you can have some fun with those songs that you’ve never gotten around to finishing.

The concept involves the uploading of something called a “rifflet,” which is a piece of a song – like a bass line, a guitar riff, a drum beat, or something else altogether. Each rifflet must also be less than 60 seconds long. Members of the site can then browse through these “proto-songs,” and combine them with other rifflets they find or even just incorporate them into their own original music.

Rifflets can be played, tagged, rated, commented on, and downloaded and each rifflet’s page will show the artist, title, genre, length, description, and the format of the recording.
