Algorithmic Permutations in Black and White Step 1: Define a scale of 8 notes (or sounds). Step 2: Create a melody with 4 notes from the scale resulting from Step 1. Step 3: Replace note 2 in the melodic sequence from Step 2 with an unused note (selected deterministically or randomly). Then do this for note 4, then for note 3, and then for note 1. Step 4: Reintroduce the first melody as counterpoint to the result of Step 3. This establishes a pair of notes at each point in time. My scale is a 8 note diatonic that goes: C-D-E-F#-G#-A#-B-C 8va My 4 note melody is C-E-C8-G# 3 different pianos (one muted and played with mallets) Orchestral samples and treatments.
