Here’s my last hand-made video for a song of mine built around a hand-made instrument:

Great sounds. Where is the footage from?

Thanks for sharing, I like these sounds, and the reverberation has a kind of “physical” quality (for lack of a better term) that appeals to me. Also I appreciate the wet/dry balance.
Would you mind to share what reverb unit is in use here ?

This is David Pocknee’s piece overall, but the flautist (Richard Craig) and I were in the mix conceptualizing and figuring things out with him. Likewise, these guys’ thoughts also helped out with the video side of things.
This is just the online video version but there’s going to be a live version of this performed somewhere in England next year (I can try to be more vague ; )

I’m running a granular synth patch in Max and feeding it into my synth, Devon’s running a custom Reaktor ensemble, and Roger’s running plugin effects in Live to process his synth.

Thank you! I collect royalty-free footage I find interesting when I run across any. I believe this one was from https://www.pond5.com/stock-video-footage/1/archival.html :pray:

Not at all, thank you for the very detailed answer.
I hear you about the “moving in a cave” impression ; that’s what it sounded like to me, but I thought this was probably two large spring tanks (for stereo) with some kind of voltage controlled EQ… I’m delighted to learn that there’s far more going on than I expected!

This is a composition I’ve been working on at school, featuring a lot of field recording, theremin, Plumbutter, and ARP 2600. Hope some of you guys enjoy it :slight_smile:

here’s a video of an generative harmony program i wrote in max/msp rendered on a yahama disklavier.

none of the material is pre-written, it’s all spontaneously generated. the algorithm works by connecting chords according to vertical and contrapunctal rules that i’ve specified.

Sorry, is that giant real piano eating up the MIDI signal from your computer?! I feel like I’ve lived under a rock.
That’s awesome.

Also cool progressions! I guess you could finetune it anyway you like now.

yeah it’s the yamaha disklavier!
