DREAM HOUSE by Walter Cianciusi
I produced a Max/MSP (IRCAM) algorithm that allows a computer user to
switch, in real time, through several La Monte Young's sine-tone
compositions.
The user simply needs
1. to choose a composition from a menu;
2. to insert a base frequency;
3. to press a start button.
A series of virtual sinusoidal oscillators (perfectly in phase) will
reproduce the chosen piece.
On the screen the user will find indications about the exact tuning
ratios implied and about the frequencies generated by the machine
starting from the chosen base frequency.
At the moment the algorithm includes the following 23 compositions:
Composition 1960 #7;
First Dream Of China;
Second Dream Of China;
Third Dream Of China;
Fourth Dream Of China;
Pre-Tortoise Dream Music;
The Obsidian Ocelot;
Freeman Commission;
Oldenburg Commission;
Scull Commission;
Drift Study 5 VIII 68;
Drift Study 31 I 69;
Drift Study 14 VII 73;
First Dream 1980;
Second Dream 1980;
Third Dream 1980;
Fourth Dream 1980;
The Opening Chord;
The Magic Chord;
The Magic Opening Chord;
The Romantic Symmetry;
The Base 9:7:4 Symmetry;
The Prime Time Twins.
The algorithm is Windows and Macintosh compatible, and you can download
it for free from my website:

On the downloaded folder you will also find a free Max/MSP Runtime 4.5
version to read the algorithm.
With your collaboration I could improve my work, add other compositions
and let the algorithm conforms to your expectations.
Thank you very much for your attention.
