Here's a link to a demonstration of what some researchers have managed to create in sound by way of converting human brainwaves to MIDI notes on a piano. I notice that all phrases seem to end on a lower note, the lowest note in the phrase, even. Could this be evidence of the functional equivalent of the Stop Bit? Not narly enough of a data sample set to jump to conlcuisons here. http://www.technewsdaily.com/15470-a-little-brain-music-sounds-of-your-brainwaves-video.html The musical phrases, however, I find, well, "musical" sounding in nature, some of the 20th century neoclassical composers may have been tapping into the same structures somehow. --Mac

Jamey Aebersold recommends humming phrases into a tape recorder, then finding them on your instrument. His reasoning is that your can make music but translating it to sound is the trick.

Hi Mac,
I wouldn't take much of this stuff too seriously. You could probably get similar results by attaching the electrodes to an electric eel or a lightning storm or the brain of a mouse.

Hi Mac, ...You could probably get similar results by attaching the electrodes to an electric eel or a lightning storm or the brain of a mouse. I'm he kind of experimenter and researcher who would enjoy doing something along those lines and finding out what the results would have in common or not, Aleck. While this one published example cannot tell us a whole lot, of course, plus the fact that they do not reveal what their particular parameters of correlation used are (for example, do the frequencies or perhaps periods of he brainwave get trnslated to the MIDI note names or is it some other aspect, then there's the MIDI Velocity data that is quite obviously in use, heard easily when the notes become softer at some point after about the middle, etc.). The interesting aspect of this sort of thing to me is that, listening to their provided example, it certainly appears to me that *there is INFORMATION there* - and that information is, by definition, *coherent*. I immediately suspected underlying attributes that hint of the Fibaonacci number sequence, and also very possibly also or alternatively contain certain aspects of the Fractal. Just searching for clues at the scene, as always. --Mac

Yeah, Lee, I hear ya. I got a couple here that if we tried to make music we might get a single whole note. Maybe.
Well, one of 'em would PROBABLY generate the functional equivalent of Cage's 4'33"...
;D

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
