Building a 'hypnotic piano groove' skill for AI music systems, modeled on Todd Terje
doodlestein · x · 2026-10-15
doodlestein built a skill for his AI music system to generate "hypnotic, driving piano grooves" inspired by Todd Terje's Strandbar. Shared docs show a structured methodology: an exemplar atlas cataloging works (Strandbar, Strings of Life, Cantaloupe Island, In C, Piano Phase) by mechanism and kernel principles K1–K9 with evidence status; a per-piece "hypnotic groove card" covering pulse layers, loop chords, thread tones, seams, and refuting evidence; plus technical details like thread-tone pitch-class intersection (K4), SLIDE/semitone-wedge seam taxonomy, and neo-Riemannian labels applied only to triadic cores. First output: cheesy but stuck in his head all day.
