Live video feedback and oblivion fractalization

Another simple algorithmic sequence playing the MicroBrute.

Polyrhythms on the mono synth. Couldn't even get past the tutorial without jamming out!

Plinky! Shout out to for the build. Amazing pressure sensitive touch surface! Only begun scratching the, er, surface here... Also awesome generative baseline "acid test" script for Norns 🙌

12/05/2022

Needs more orange.

06/05/2022

More Syntakt. Set out to learn about the sound pool and ended up with a dub techno track. How'd that happen? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Visuals Eyesy.

Mutant generative techno from the modular rig with live Hypno video synthesizer visuals 📹👾 🎲 🔊 🎹 🎧

Looking to recreate something real-time in hardware with a similar aesthetic to the offline generative composition and video generation code output posted earlier. Early experiments. Is it working?

25/03/2022

Generative composition and video platform we've been working on ~1yr on/off. What to do with hundreds of these?

This example is from an early prototype that uses data science toolkits to transform and recompose a directory of stems and create matching audio-reactive animations.

The idea was: could the essence of a single studio session, track, or album be captured and transformed into a hundred, or even a thousand tracks that would be unique but coherent as a whole. Could a complimentary visualization also be generated that matched the tone.

It doesn't really fit an album or live performance mold. Needs a lot more work, but early outputs seem promising. Compelling? Want to see more?

Third run on the mini-modular. This round: Xynthesizer's app in cellular automata sequencer mode into MIDI driving several modules, chiefly Basimilus and Melotus Versio for sound. I liked the uplifting vibe and how the lines were blurry between percussion, melody, and soundscape.

Working on a modular "daily" practice. Not every day, but start to finish in a single day. Per usual granular ASMR, vaguely dub inspired live looping session with a few rounds of overdubbing and live patch build up and teardown. Headphones recommended 🎧

First-round marbles into plaits for organ stabs and bass.

Second round grids and marbles into plaits and beads for drums, delay, and reverb. Learnings here were how to swing and slop the clock into grids via Marbles jitter and t2 out plus some fills off grids tweaked live.

Finally, loose interpretations of tape hiss and guitar via plaits particle noise and Karplus-Strong modes.

All generative sequences and synthesized sounds from this small mostly rig and captured in Bitbox Micro.

21/01/2022

More video synths... Early EYESY experiments plus DFAM + Mother32 jam out.

18/01/2022

First experiments with the Hypno video synthesizer 📹👾📹👾

14/01/2022

Inspired after the live modular show in San Jose and meeting a couple of the artists, submitted this track to their Darker Sounds of a Present Future sample pack competition.

Here's a clip w/ video projection tests. Sounds entirely from the sample pack processed with Beads for granular manipulation and sequenced with Digitakt. Heavy bass and stereo. Headphones recommended! 🎧

03/01/2022

A break in the storm ☀️
Sub-bass and heavy stereo. Headphones recommended 🎧

All sounds Plaits and Beads, except MicroBrute on sub-bass. Live looped into Bitbox Micro.

Teaser of a recent recording session retreat in the snow.

Here's to more music in 2022!

Video for Emergence off XSEC // Icefall.

02/10/2021

Experiments in bending recordings of vintage video gameplay. Amplifying the small unseen errors and artifacts interactively.

Excerpt from bonus video for track: SDI Directed-Energy Weapon, off MOS-Man's Datasette 1530 release. Artificial life sequencing and unsequenced live improvisation. Gear: Elektron Sidstation, Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot, and Solsby Atmegatron. Video: iPhone only.

Steering into the wormhole. A thousand suns dying and reborn on the head of a pin.

Mutable Skiff rhythm box madness.
Marbles in Grids mode > Plaits & Peaks in drum synth mode > Clouds 🤯

Model 15 is the absolute best-sounding virtual analog modular synth app. Filter moves with the high-resolution touch interface sound super smooth (compare against MIDI). Not to mention the gorgeous UI design and UX.

A fun compact setup here with the Norns awake script sequencer and iPhone.

Sub Bass. Non-phone speakers recommended! 🔈🔈🔈

Inspired by an alternate timeline superimposed over our own 80s and 90s, MOS-Man envisions a dystopian world where the singularity happened shortly after the popularization of 8-bit home computers. Hacktivists fight government and corporate interests that wield emerging AI technology. Rouge sentient programs are released on the early internet threatening to subjugate the coming Information Age.

Recorded during the pandemic of 2020. Live improvisation and artificial life algorithms control vintage 8-bit synthesizers and hackable lo-fi groove boxes, creating a data-bent, video game-like soundscape filled with moments of wonder and dread. A nod to Chiptune and Warp's Artificial Intelligence compilations of the early 90s. It's the soundtrack to a corrupted C64 game that never was…
