Richtext: The model is influenced by two sources: 1. A fixed random hash chosen at the time of minting. 2. Editable contract parameters that token owner/editors may change at any time. Even with editable parameters, no two tokens can be exactly identical. The source of randomness is in part influenced by the fixed random hash that differs amongst all tokens. Without changing ownership, the token owner may grant editing rights to another user. Previews of outputs can be made offchain with no gas cost, either through compiling on local machine or for convenience through deafbeef.com DAPP. After selection/curation, the parameters may be written to the smart contract. State will change over time, depending on preferences and curation of the token owners and those to which the owner has granted editing rights.

Richtext: #Series 4 - Glitchbox User programmable generative glitch music box. Through programmable media, this series invites users to participate in the exploration and curation of a generative audiovisual model. Rather than enforcing artificial scarcity through a single fixed hash, owners/editors may instead continuously explore and selectively choose from a large set of possible outputs. After minting, owners(and those granted editing access by the owner) may tweak parameters that influence the output of the model, and store those parameters on chain. Parameters are analogous to the knobs and switches of a modular synthesizer. Owners/editors may 'play' this instrument, selecting settings that please them. A record of the parameters chosen, and who made them, will be recorded immutably on-chain.

Richtext: #Series 5 - Advection An aesthetic study of fluid motion. A commentary on the relationship between nature, mathematics and generative art. Progammable media with shared utility for a community. Both artists and scientists are drawn to the beauty found in nature. Generative art may take inspiration from the compact mathematical models describing complex physical phenomena. Not only do these models produce perceptually interesting outputs, but the mathematical descriptions themselves have an elegant aesthetic. This work attempts to express the beauty and harmony found in the overlap of mathematical and physical concepts in different perceptual modalities. The fluid motion model for these animations is based on academic research conducted in 2010. The sounds of struck percussion are synthesized from physical models sharing common principles. This series extends the user programmable media paradigm of Series 4. One token will be reserved for community access. This one token is not owned, but its utility is shared: community members may learn, study and interact with a programmable system, and in turn may change parameters that influence the audiovisual output. Parameter changes and their authors' addresses are stored on-chain.

Richtext: #Series 1 - Angular Generative audiovisual pieces, undulating but synchronized. The process that determines note durations and pitches are continuous functions of time, taking the rhythm and pitches "off the grid". These are juxtoposed with angular visuals very much on a grid. While many generative collections of art feature a widely varying parameter space, this collection instead has its parameters finely tuned and tightly constrained. The time dependent process is still seeded by the random hash value so that each are unique, but they have the same flavor and can be thought of as "prints" of the original artwork. The code that generates the audiovisual is stored completely on-chain, allowing a user to reconstruct the media without having to trust IPFS or external storage.

Richtext: ###Synth Poems Details Synth Poems are short (1 minute) generative audiovisual pieces. At the time of minting, a random value is stored in an ERC721 token. This value serves as input to an unsupervised generative model that produces sound and animation. The code(written in C, ISO C99) that describes this model is stored directly on the Ethereum blockchain. Our server, as convenience, runs the code and caches the output as an MP4 video. However, anyone may read the publically available code, compile it and execute to reconstruct the output. For even more detail about this method of on-chain storage, see the About page. At the musical level, the generative algorithm plays with feedback to produce an evolving but balanced set of timbres and pitches. Across pieces, a carefully selected set of rules govern the variation of tempos, time signatures, (in)harmonicity resulting in individual pieces that are unique, while retaining a common theme. At the audio synthesis level, the code model makes use of Frequency Modulation(FM) synthesis. FM is an encoding method originally used for analog signals in radio broadcasting, and later discovered to be useful for audio synthesis allowing a simple way to generate rich harmonic timbres. Don Buchla made use of FM in his modular synthesizers of the 60s/70s, characterizing the "west coast" synth sound. At the visual level, the code model simulates the action of an oscilloscope in XY mode. The left and right stereo audio channels act as inputs to the XY inputs of a (virtual) oscilloscope to produce a direct visualization of the audio waveform. I chose this visualization to keep the focus on the audio and music, while giving a nod to early computer graphics that used vector displays. FM audio synthesis with various stereo modulations happens to generate particularly interesting patterns when visualized in this way.

Richtext: #Series 0 - Synth Poems Synth Poems are short generative music pieces, inspired by the sound of analog synthesizers. They are stored on-chain. Each piece is generated at the time of minting from a random hash value, influencing musical elements including tempo, timbre, pitch and time signature. Simples rules lead to surprising variation, giving each piece it's own distinctive personality, while retaining a common theme. Although synth poems are audio focused, a fitting visualization is added as an ode to early computer graphics that used vector displays to visualize analog signals. What you see is a direct representation of the sound signal, as it would appear on an oscilloscope. The code that generates the audiovisual is stored completely on-chain, allowing a user to reconstruct the media without having to trust IPFS or external storage.
