GenDynish – Xenakis on the Arduino
Furthering my previous interests in Stochastic Synthesis I implemented an emulation of Iannis Xenakis’ Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis on an Arduino micro controller, the resulting algorithm I titled GenDynish. The Gendynish algorithm is software that runs on Arduino-class microprocessors to produces sounds similar to Iannis Xenakis’ dynamic stochastic synthesis works from …
