Little snippet from demo video using banjo, distortion, octave, and skipping CD-player analysis timings. (this is what I have in mind @instantjuggler)

one of my recent generative pieces is on air on cashmere radio, generated in real time for the next 443 hours. an autopoietic system unfolding in time.
everyting is synthesised and organised in supercollider. i’ll upload the code on github along with a detailed documentation of the generation process as soon as i get home. until then: have a listen and let me know what you think!

Testing light bulbs.

Dancing shadows behind @Angela:

Spinning shadows on me:

What the bulbs themselves look like:

This is just an initial test using offset sine waves to drive each bulb. The scaling isn’t great as it goes from off to on pretty quickly, and the phase separation between each bulb is a bit too extreme as well. My maths are shit, so gonna chat to a friend about how to best have control over the ‘height’, ‘width’, ‘spread’, and ‘curve’ of the distributed waveform.

This is fresh! Are you using MLR or equivalent to get those bouncing keys on’ bublu’? Just a delay?

thanks so much for listening and offering kind words!!
there are mostly two techniques in play to arrive at “bouncing keys” type feel and a third step too.
in simplest explanation it is:

  1. ableton live midi effect arpeg
  2. ableton live audio effect autopan
    those are two of my favorite devices native to live/suite
    i do not tire of finding new uses them and autopan is afaict a very underrated device.
    in my modular days i became enamored with the idea of “modulating the modulator” and this is half the approach in the first place. what i do with each device is take the time to draw envelope response curves to modulate (automate) parameters. in this case it is primarily the tempo sync/divisions on arpeg and pan (but of course others too). recently i have started to use m4l lfo in the same style with multiple instances. really gets my goat bleating so to speak

first track with arc, ansible and kria. cyclebox fm module, with lag out into granular processing and then the mix through an oto machines delay.

A video on a project that includes @Rodrigo (as well as PA Tremblay, Patrick Saint-Denis, and Sylvain Pohu if any of you know them as well…which you might! : ), called Saturated. The Rest.
This first video that I made about it is focused on the tech, or the building of the gestalt instrument.

i am humbled and honoured to share two simultaneous releases with all of you

many are aware of the ongoing collaboration i have w/ @wooer .
we’ve been bouncing around ideas and audio since summer of 2015 + the sounds are continually changing as we learn more about ourselves & each other

here are two pieces we made during winter:

Feedback is generally seen in a negative light… something to minimize or eliminate entirely
from musical performance and recording. However we found it ironic that feedback is a foundational element of many synthesis techniques and chose to focus on these methods for a collaborative project. This type of exploration is not new. We felt there was no need to focus on novelty for its own sake. Still, the results were somewhat unexpected and pursuing the possible range of sounds within our preferred systems (software / no input) was extremely educational for us.

.

most of the 2nd album is more recent but also involves Nik…really wouldn’t exist at all without him.
(the clearest example? COH is a reworked song of his)

Technically, these are solo recordings…but most of the songs were initiated with Nikita Bugaev in mind. They probe beyond my fear of disappointing him (or any artist I collaborate with) and serve as personal proof that battling such fear is worthwhile.

It is also important to acknowledge my dependence on the ideas and instruments of Trent Gill, Peter Blasser, and Brian Crabtree to generate and modulate the sounds heard.

Through looping or manipulation of the vinyl playback speed, eq settings, and added fx…I encourage you to freely take control of this record. Whether you enjoy 30 seconds or 30 minutes I’d be happy knowing that you did so as an active listener.

Consider the album an extended collaboration between us.
