The microcomputer can sense the order and timing in which the six pitches are played and can react by sending harmony-changing messages to two handmade music synthesizers. The relationship between the two musicians and the computer is an interactive one, with the computer changing the electronically-produced harmonies in response to what the musicians play, and the musicians influenced in their improvising by what the computer does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFigure in a Clearing, made a few months before On the Other Ocean, was the first piece of Behrman's to use a computer for music. For Figure, the Kim-1 ran a program which varied the time intervals between chord changes. The time intervals were modelled on the motion of a satellite in falling elliptical orbit about a planet. David Gibson's only \"score\" was a list of 6 pitches to be used in performance, and a request that he not speed up when the computer-controlled rhythm did. The timbral richness and concentrated eloquence of his playing sprang from his own sources.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLovely Music, 1996\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711417848049,"sku":"LCD1041","price":26.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/products\/dbehrman_ontheotherocean.jpg?v=1654066595","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/david-behrman-on-the-other-ocean-cd","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
