The piece seen below is an algorithmic work, making use of "open F tuning" on a standard 6 string guitar as the primary compositional tool. Acoustic drum tracks were enhanced with beat replacement techniques, and the electric bass tracks were left largely unedited. The file was then mixed down to 8-bit resolution, and bounced from Logic Express to Ableton, where a few 'poppy' synth melodies were added.

Primary composition and editing by Ryan McKenna.
Drums and second guitar parts performed by Matt Perdon and Marc Perdon (Montclair State University).

Rpmckenna:

This project is meant to allow individuals whom tap out drum patterns as a simple outlet of expression, or a more involved means of tapping one's foot, to bring musical life to a simple tick. Through use of a custom-built drum pad, using copper tape to make electrical contact, a 'MakeyMakey' Arduino board, and a max patch for sending Midi data to Ableton, the user can simply ground themselves via the attached lead, and tap out patterns on the easily navigable set of pads (including a kick drum and hi-hat pedal), and play the virtual drum set provided, in this case, by Ableton, or any other DAW.

The caveat of this lies in that the user must be connected to the ground lead at all times, and shoeless, to make use of the kick drum and hi-hat control pads. simple hardware workarounds for these issues are possible, if such a need is made clear.

This link is to a Mediafire page to download the .Zip file, containing all associated files. The project, however, is hardware dependent, and thus will not work solely based upon the files linked here.
