For the final song on "R3TU2N T0 TH3 S1L3NC3" I wanted to do something very "Hackish" that embraced my programming side of life. So I took a basic algorithm for brute force cracking passwords--permutations of letters and numbers which are "blasted" against a long in. I wrapped this in a new "engine" I created that converts alpha-numeric characters given "relative" scale to notes in that scale, every-time the letter or number is past the number of notes in the scale...mine current one is 8 notes it "wraps" it around through the scale again until it finds a note related to how many times it has to wrap through the given scale. Each time it wraps through the scale...the resulting note is raised an octave, so if the target scale is C: C, D, E, F, G, A, B and we are mapping H. then the resulting note would be C:1 P would be E:2 etc... once a "phase" is created using this technique ... a midi file is created with the notes mapped. In my case I was mapping permutations of letter combinations, so the result is somewhat predicable--this is heard in the main piano voice..."the arpeggios" which in fact not really arpeggios per say :) When I did my run (part of which is seen on the song cover picture) I had a 108 and notes in my phrase... and a mid file I could load into FL-Studio and flesh out the rest of the song...
if interested, here is my base-code...so far...
