about

PPPB is an audiovisual composition and performance tool made for Garry's Mod to create and play with up to 64 bots in game with MIDI. berkozdemir.com/pppb

The tracks in this album are the extracted audio files from a series of video pieces I did for PPPB, called White Room Etudes.

I did White Room Etudes before I managed to hook up MIDI to communicate with bots while I was developing PPPB. When I had found out how to summon bots to spesific coordinates with keyboard hits, I made three etudes pieces with that mechanic.

So if you watch the original video versions of them on my youtube channel, you will understand how these sounds are generated; I keep adding bots in form of squares, starting with different types of weapons, and change their weapons.

The commands I could gave to PPPB with my keyboard strokes were monophonic. What I mean with it is that "start / stop / change weapon" commands applies to all bots simultaneously (with a little big of delay sometimes, especially if spawned bot amount is too many, like 60-100). I couldn't control all of them individually.

I decided to make a music album release of etudes, because until now I always presented my PPPB works as a video projection. One of my initial ideas I considered most when I started working with PPPB was to create a new sonical experience for the audience.

And I personally think that it is very interesting to listen only the abstracted audio, without having any visual bias.

Also an advice for people: you can do abstracted listening with any video game. Just find a gameplay footage without commentary, and just listen to it without watching. You will explore many new things about the game...
