Alto

Alto is a generative system that produces sounds and random networks based on Boolean networks & Proprioceptive neurons

Boolean Networks

The Boolean network consists of a discrete set of Boolean data type Which is a data type that has one of two possible values (0 or 1), each of them has a Boolean function assigned to it which takes inputs from a subset of those variables and output that and determines the state of the variable it is assigned to. This set of functions in effect determines a topology (connectivity) on the set of variables, which then become nodes in a network.
Boolean networks are often used in microbiology to model regulatory networks

Proprioception

Proprioception refers to the object or body’s ability to perceive its own position in space. For example, proprioception enables a person to close their eyes and touch their nose with their index finger.

Other examples of proprioception include:

Knowing whether feet are on soft grass or hard cement without looking (ev1en while wearing shoes)
Throwing a ball without having to look at the throwing arm

Instructions

- Speed: Change the speed of the moving cells to get a faster or slower sequence of sounds

- Notes: Change the notes switch to get different notes from 7 different scales

- Min/Max Octaves: Change min/max octave between C2 & C6

- Uniform: Turn on/off uniform toggle on the top left, in order to switch between uniform cell movements or non-uniform cell movements
