MonK's TMA Device Coming Soon
A generative instrument designed to assist in music composition, production, and learning.
Monk's TMA device is designed to inspire through real-time experimentation. It will likely become the Centrepiece of your setup.
“ In Nature we find truth. TMA is built on that notion from the ground up ”
Meanwhile...
May I present an unedited, real-time improvisation recorded using a simple MIDI keyboard and the TMA device - a tool I designed to support creative musical exploration. The composition was performed live in a single take and recorded directly into a DAW, with no post-processing, editing, or arrangement. What you hear is exactly what was played.
“ Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way - Brian Eno ”
This performance was created by playing a MIDI controller keyboard connected to the TMA device. It primarily uses the Fugue and TicTacToe sequencer models.
