Techno => now;

Motivated by the possibility of using ChucK as a techno instrument, I have been using the composition assignments in PAT 462 as a platform to create a suite of tools for techno composition in the ChucK programming language. This piece, In Inertia, is a draft I made in Ableton of a composition that I developed in ChucK. The piece is intentionally simplistic as expressing musical ideas in a programming language as low-leveled as ChucK can be burdensome without a great deal of abstraction. The piece itself is inspired by the idea of possessing physical inertia in an empty three-dimensional space void of outside force. In such a space, an initial impulse would cause you to float in one direction forever, taking your body on an infinite adventure beyond the known reaches of space.
