I figured out how to do it :) Repetition is key to people being able to latch onto music, but you can still deeply randomize things. What I'm doing is driving everything off Music Thing Modular Chord Organs, with firmware I programmed. Everything's based off a chord (or note) choice within one of twelve keys, and the secret is that you've got to modulate by circle of fifths, not chromatically. Also, chords are better arranged off pentatonic roots, rather than diatonically. Do that and you can go to challenging jazz chords, but things hang together in a logical/musical way. I've been evolving this system for years: here's a jam with heavy reliance on procedurally-generated chords and arps: https://soundcloud.com/airwindows/therefore https://soundcloud.com/airwindows/therefore And this one's more recent, but set to wander a bit more far afield as far as the random range goes. Chords and roots and arps generated procedurally, plus other playing on top. https://soundcloud.com/airwindows/fogbound-2020-11-03 https://soundcloud.com/airwindows/fogbound-2020-11-03
