Listen to some interesting compositions by ELIAS. Enjoy, frown or laugh! I'd
love to hear your opinion on ELIAS' works.
Bach's Concerto in E-major BWV1042 reworked
05/08/2006
The first movement of Bach's Concerto in E-major was used as input for the
slice&recombinance process (further described below). Slices of a quarter-note length were recombined.
The last slice of the original piece was used as last slice of the new
composition.
Please note the very funny blues-blooper near the end of the piece ;)

Bach's invention #5 reworked
02/12/2006
ELIAS was fed Johann Sebastian Bach's Two-part
invention 5 (BWV 776). Roughly, the invention was beat-wise chopped up and then recombined according
to a specified ruleset.
The "slicer"-module split the
invention in beat-length slices, which are then browsable in the "slice
library". The "recombinator" chooses a
random beat to start with. In this example it was the 4th beat
of measure 24 (from now on referred to as 24/4). The
"recombinator" looks for the note in the next beat (25/1) and
finds a C. Thus, the next beat is randomly choosen from all beats that start
with a C note. Once a beat was used in the new piece, it is
removed from the recombination process to avoid repetition of beats. In this
example there is no module involved to form a proper ending of the newly
created invention.

An anthem based on the german and the russian national anthems
08/04/2006
ELIAS got the german and the russian national anthem as input. The slicer
and recombinator modules combined both anthems into a single new-one. Be
surprised!
