A short one today, to say that I'm nearly finished with my MA and I've been designing some sounds using the library I've created from circuit bending some old toys. It's been a pretty fun process and hopefully will just be the beginning of my circuit bending adventures! I'll be releasing the library of sounds [...]
Circuit Bending Adventures: Part 1 (Plus I Have a Mailing List Now!)
So I'm coming towards the end of my MA studies now and as part of my final major project I decided to create some sound libraries. These are based on filling gaps within my own library, and exploring techniques and ideas that I'm unfamiliar with and interested in. So far it's been both a steep [...]
DIY Stethoscope Mic
It's been a while since i've written anything here as I've been wrapped up in studying for my MA and working at my new job at Doghouse Post but this week I decided I should get back on writing this blog and making some recordings. With that in mind, and inspired by Akash Thakkar and Rene Coronado, [...]
Learning Granular Synthesis pt 2
A very short post today, to say that it's been a slow process trying to get my head round Max over the last couple of months, but I finally have a fairly useable patch that I've been playing around with quite a lot. Really this is more of a glorified sample player than a true [...]
Learning Granular Synthesis Pt 1
In the last couple of weeks on my MA course, we've been learning about editing audio using phase vocoder based technologies, and granular synthesis. This is frankly, all a bit technical and mind bending for me, but I think i'm starting to get my head around it and I've been playing around with editing some [...]
