Tango #16

This is a final version with some fixes to some envelopes and durations, and other challenges. It uses the following chain of utonanities (minor) keys. No major keys (otonalities) were chosen, just by chance.

  • Dn-min
  • C+-min
  • Dn-min
  • E–min
  • Dn-min
  • C+-min
  • Bn-min
  • C+-min
  • Bn-min
  • A+-min
  • Bn-min
  • C+-min
  • Dn-min
  • C+-min
  • Dn-min
  • E–min
  • Dn-min
  • E–min
  • E+-min
  • E–min
  • Dn-min

There is a list of potential keys that can be picked, 16 otonalities, and 16 utonalities. The randomizer chooses a key, then moves to the next one it the list, then back again. The list is ordered based on the Partch Tonality Diamond. The Markov Chain Drunkard Walk can only go forward or back in the list. In this iteration, only five keys are picked across the almost ten minutes of execution, out of a set of 32 possible keys. This particular drunk seems to always come back to the same spot, or almost. He starts at Dn-min and ends there. (The n stands for natural).
