Rhythms from Mark Fell's Intra with techniques from GO in gen~

Today we’re using techniques from Generating Sound and Organizing Time to make an algorithm used by Mark Fell on the album Intra. Mark describes this algorithm in his book Structure and Synthesis: The Anatomy of Practice.

I didn’t mention it in the video, but you could use the gate list that the JavaScript produces with subdiv~ or rtt.pattern~ from Rhythm and Time Toolkit. For more info, check out    • Pattern Objects in Rhythm and Time To...   or    • subdiv~ : Fundamentals of Sequencing,...
