I'm looking to tip my toes into making some generative music. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, it is basically music generated by a system (e.g. computer program), where the "composer's" role is to control the parameters that specify the rules by which the system creates music, instead of laying out specific elements of the composition.
Specifically, I was thinking of trying something like what Brian Eno is doing in this interview around the 14 minute mark, where he modifies a drum loop by dropping a certain percentage of notes randomly each time it plays. Btw, the whole interview is worth watching if you're interested in this sort of stuff, Eno is such a brilliant and charismatic guy!
How would you go about achieving something like this in LMMS? Is there perhaps a (preferably free) plugin that could mute notes randomly? I guess any synth with a random number generator would get me started, but ideally I'd like to find something with a bit more control and flexibility. I'm also open to non-LMMS solutions if anyone has suggestions.
