Bitstance Radio

Bitstance Radio is an algorithmically-controlled mix of individual stem files recorded during Bistance rehearsals. The mix is tuned to maintain a balance of each of the four performers, and plays each performer's stem files in a random order (without replacement). Whenever an existing stem finishes playing, a new stem is launched with a random starting location, speed, pitch, and fade in/out duration. The endlessly varying recombinations create new musical interactions that did not occur during Bitstance rehearsals, but the stems retain the hard-coded real-time musical decisions of each performer as they were originally executed.
