Jagernot has released DIN Is Noise 27a for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux.
In this release, on the instrument Mondrian, users can create a grid of boxes on notes of the scale or an N x N grid on arbitrary microtones. They can also create slits on the edges of these boxes that balls can pass through.
Three ball types are available:
- Bouncers that just bounce off walls and floors or ceilings.
- Wreckers that make slits for balls to pass thru.
- Healers that close slits.
A combination of wreckers and healers on a grid of boxes can yield non-deterministic, algorithmic and visual music.
Ball trails show the path the wreckers [Red] and healers [Blue] have taken.
Notes [or microtones] triggered when a ball impacts an edge of a box. Size of the circle indicates the current volume.
Hide balls to reveal slit structure.
Red balls are wreckers, they make slits by breaking the box edges. Blue balls are healers, they close slits.
An 8 x 8 grid spanning the octave.
