Jungle, Forrest, and Insect sounds.

2008-05-13T07:05:02Z

I am searching for the highest quality Jungle (as in a forest not Drum and Bass) and most importantly insect sounds of all kind, crickets, bees, this kind of thing. Please help me find good quality audio of this kind. The longer and clearer the better.

Thank you!!

Tuva Camp 2008

2007-11-17T20:53:12Z

Dear Friends

Thank you for your interest to our music.

Last summer we held a throat singing camp in Tuva.

We had 14 students from around the world - 8 of them were from the US, 2 from Australia
2 from Denmark, 1 from France, 1 from England.
After arriving in Tuva, the students spent 1 week in Kyzyl, the capital city.
They were able to see many tourist attractions, see a Tuvan shaman,
and attend the Naadym - National Harvest Celebration.

The students then went on to spend 1 week in the deep taiga, with members of the Tuvan throat singing group Chirgilchin,
learning various styles of throat singing, traditional Tuvan instruments, as well as the Tuvan language.

This summer, we are trying to get 2 groups to go to Tuva again, in either June or July.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please check our photos made by Russell Roesner - our student.

Thank you

relevant BC music conference/festival

2007-06-05T05:34:05Z

This festival in British Columbia (Jun 22-25) may be of interest to people in this tribe:

www.entheosgathering.com

"Daytime conference presentations include topics related to new media, cultural evolution, the power of shared intent, shamanic dance, and how sound frequencies can invoke biologically beneficial brain and body states. The proceedings are more than just lectures and are designed to provide an energetic experience to all participants."

The dance party aspect will definitely implement this intelligence...

YOUR THROAT CHAKRA is the Gate 2 Time & Space : )

2007-05-29T18:37:35Z

Please check out the THROAT CHAKRA.. and what it symbolizes..
http://www.chakramagic.com/throat_chakra.htm

Im translating from a Swedish site here 4 u:

The throat chakra..
IT IS THE GATE TO TIME AND SPACE...

Sanskritname Vishudda means "to purify" / To clean.
Vishudda is seen as the fifth chakra from below..

The fifth chakra is the throatchakra and it is united with the gland that regulates our energyresources.
The chakra has to do with the throat, the jaws, mouth, (dont know the name for the area where we swalllow) and our ears..

Both physically and psycic this chakra has to do with SOUND - therefore it is natural that the sense belonging to this chakra is to hear/listen, the sense that register sounds...

The throat chakra is the centre of expression, sounds and the capability to listen..
The throat chakra is just between the body and the head;
and often the head says one thing and the body and the emotions says another..

That is when when we end up in conflict with our self, and that is when the throat chakra determins
what will come to expression - the feeling or the reason...
(the "sense" haha as we call it, not our senses as in plural - interesting huh - my note)

Often the conflict between sense and our feelings are so big so we dont say anything at all,
then we block the energy very effectivly..
which will lead to stiff neck, pain in the throat, headache and how well we can process food
(dont remember the word, how much energy this gland in the throat is helping us balance out..)

Blockage in this chakra might lead to us finding life as dull and plain.. boring..
We cannot understand that others dont understand us.. our self..
You can often HEAR on others if their throat chakra is balanced or not,
the voice can be tense, high or relaxed and comfortable..

When there is a good activity in the throat chakra you can give expression to anything you feel,
and you find it easy to communicate with others..

The colour of the throat chakra is BLUE.

The place of the throat chakra symbolizes "the narrow road" -
from here, the individual path which demands us taking position, descisions;
which has to do with our TRUE LIFE MEANING...
Here our PERSONAL egos need for security and safety/controlneed is replaced with trust and conviction.
The higher self is given place/space.

The chakra has SIXTEEN crownleafs..
The symbolic animal is ELEPHANT..

Throat Chakra
Liquids in general: water, fruit juices, herbal teas
Tart or tangy fruits: lemons, limes, grapefruit, kiwi
Other tree growing fruits: apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc.
Spices: salt, lemon grass

(read more about how to heal your chakras with food and drink: http://healing.about.com/od/spiritualdiets/ss/feedchakras_6.htm )

Copied from Chakramagic - http://www.chakramagic.com/throat_chakra.htm

As the petals of the throat chakra open...

You enter into the space of "your highest" truth and creativity.
The throat chakra is an instrument with which we communicate with
the angels, masters, guides, the spirit world and the physical world.
Its basic function is expression and communication...
at many levels and all the formats.

Thought forms, internal dialogues, verbal and non verbal expression, art,
desires, intentions...are all different forms of communication .

Communication brings the desired results.
Imbalance at the throat chakra creates distorted communication.
And distorted communication is the root cause of all the struggles in life.

Once this is understood, and some effort is directed towards
opening the throat chakra, you step into your personal power - your core truth.
Truth liberates... And it's Your Truth that sets you free.

English name : Throat Chakra, also called the fifth chakra
Sanskrit name : Vishuddha
Location : Base of the throat
Color : Blue
Element : Sound
Directly affects : The spiritual body
Core functions : Communication, truth, sound, self expression, creativity

Challenges when throat chakra is not open or in balance :
Basically there are two types of chakra imbalances.

1. Spins fast, in excess, congestion, no harmony
Needless talking, listening disability, burnt out, fatigue, feeds on others attention, unaware liar.

2. Spins slow, deficiency, depletion, no harmony
Absence of authority, struggle in career - business, fear of speaking, speechlessness, negative internal dialogue, shy, unable to say the right thing at the right time.

Physical symptoms of throat chakra imbalance
Throat related problems, thyroid and neck challenges, lack of dynamism and motivation,

When the throat chakra is balanced :
Communicates easily, clearly and with authority, harmonious voice, closer to inner truth and creativity, developed artistic talents, influential.

// .... Copied from
http://www.spirit-alembic.com/throat.html

DEFINITION:
Identified as the THROAT Chakra or Aura-center by Yoga, this energy-plexus encompasses essentially the Throat, Mouth, Tongue, Nostrils and Jaw areas, any or all of which can become 'sore' or traumatized by a crisis over ONE'S PERSONALITY AND HOW TO "WEAR" IT. Since the Throat is housed in the Neck, the bones and muscles of the Neck and Shoulders also respond to Throat-Chakra crises.

This Chakra connects the physical body to the famous ASTRAL PLANE.. connected with 'out of body experiences' and Soul Travel as well as such Astral skills as distant-healing and Hypnosis. The Astral Plane is 'occupied' by the Astral Body of Asian Metaphysics, which the ancient Egyptians called "the Khu" (which means "Shining One" and "glorious Intelligence.") According to the Egyptians, this "body" is an eternal part of our makeup, and can travel about, visiting others on earth as well as the gods in their heavens. The Astral Plane like the Khu is named for the "Shining" or STAR-LIKE LIGHT which is it's appearance to the eye.

M Audio Microtrack Recorder - looping potential Mic query

2006-11-10T13:50:32Z

I purchased a M-Audio 24/96 bit Microtrack Recorder about two months ago and have been sampling like mad, however I've yet to begin looping with it...

Any suggestions? Comments? Looping stories?

I also would love good mic suggestions the one that came with it won't do..

I usually drop my recordings into Logic Pro 7 and begin fun there. How about into Ableton or Sound Forge, Acid Pro?

I'd love some feedback

farting in the key of E

2006-11-10T13:48:59Z

okay, i can't seem to get any answers anywhere else - maybe someone here can help me out.

i'm trying to build a setup that allows me to do the following:
1) play simple piano/organ sounds on a keyboard (weighted/non-weighted - doesn't matter)
2) trigger pitched samples (things I've recorded - glass hitting cement, armpit farts, the noises that come from my bathtub drain etc.) with keyboard keys (i.e. i record something, and then it is mapped on the keyboard so that when i hit the 'c' key, my sample is pitched accordingly, and likewise for all the other keys.)

i also want the sounds to come out of my PA speakers, so the keyboard must have the appropriate outputs (i.e. not just midi)

so what are my options if i was only willing to spend about $1500?
is there a keyboard for this price that will accomplish both tasks?
is it better to go with a keyboard + sampler setup? how do samplers work anyways? can i just throw a bunch of sounds into it and then trigger them (at different pitches) using a keyboard's midi or something?

thank you thank you thank you!

Your studio/setup

2006-09-22T16:51:47Z

Hi there, I thought a little list of peoples equipment might give some ideas to the new artists in here, as well as spark some discussion about techniques of production...

so here's my list at the moment:

AKAI MPC1000 - Sequencing, Drum programming.
Great little machine for sampling, it's so easy to make great grooves with this box.

Ensonique ESQ-1 - Synthesis, Melody
Old school synth from the 80's, nice analog filter and 3 oscillators for some wild synth forms. Lots of fun to make patches with, good range of sounds.

Roland ALPHA JUNO-1
Another old school synth, lots of funky presets, and the PG-200 make programming patches a breeze. Fun funky sounds, lots of reminders of early trance/house.

TI Speak and Read (Ghazala Bends)
Built this one by the book, some great noises and hilarious loops. Actually sentient, it displays phrases like "I GAIA". How unusual! (take a look at my profile for pics). Unfortunately, it's also claims to be paranoid.

CD Recorder - Picked it up at a pawnshop for 100$, uses CD-RW's...really handy for recording those sets pre mix down.

Old "Alto" mixer, 8 tracks. Not worth mentioning, hopefully upgrading soon!
One very old Toshiba CD player, with no antiskip protection...useful for databending.

For FX, I have an Alesis AIRFX, sooooo much fun for getting those hand patterns gives you lots of creative control. Good filters, flangers. I also have an Alesis Microverb used in tandem for delay and reverb patches.

Right now, i'm actually working on an amazing find....

CASIO SK-100!!!!
I'm implementing a 32 point RCA patchbay, with assignable switches and potentiometers. The patches are directly connected to the internal 12-bit sampling RAM, and just testing out a few the leads made some insane and wild combinations. WO keyboard, WOOO!
I'll post some samples of this beautiful creation once it's finished....

So what is in your studio?

THIS MONDAY IN NY-DEEP SPACE W/ FRANCOIS K., DUB GABRIEL, UMAR BIN HASSAN (LAST POETS), SATISH!!!!

2006-06-07T10:52:47Z

Hey everyone, I just arrived back in New York to visit and to kick off a tour doing 20 shows around the United States.
For the last 8 months I have been living in Berlin and it has been a total trip.
It feels good to be back in the states and I am hoping to see all my New York friends together this Monday at Deep Space where I will be doing my only NY show.
It will be a special night doing an all-live global dub soundsystem with Last Poets legend Umar Bin Hassan, who also was on the last Common record as well as Trumpet playing madman Satish on horn and electronics.
And of course resident DJ, Francois K.
Please come and join me, catch up with good friends in a fun night!!

DEEP SPACE AND BROOKLYN MASSIVE
PRESENT
DUB GABRIEL' S BROOKLYN MASSIVE SOUNDSYSTEM (FIRST
TIME BACK IN NY SINCE MOVING TO BERLIN, DUB GABES ONLY
LIVE NY SHOW!!!! A NIGHT NOT TO MISS!!!)
FEATURING
UMAR BIN HASSAN (LAST POETS)
SATISH (TRUMPETS AND ELECTRONICS)
DUB GABRIEL (LIVE SOUNDSYSTEM)
RESIDENT DJ
FRANCOIS K.
MONDAY, JUNE 12TH
930pm (DUB GABRIEL ON AT 10PM!!!)
@
Cielo
18 Little West 12th Street
between Washington Street and 9th Avenue NYC
Admission is $10, $5 before 10pm
For additional information visit:
www.deepspacenyc.com

Step back, all ye wannabe rappers and check out one of
the originals who made hip hop possible. Before Africa
Bambaata was throwing parties in the Bronx, before
Prince Whipper Whip was rocking with the Fantastic 5
and before the Rock Steady Crew ever attempted their
first windmills, Umar Bin Hassan and the Last Poets
were making rhythm and poetry live on the streets of
Harlem.
Thirty years later a number of the more socially and
politically conscious emcees are planning a tribute
album to the Last Poets featuring Common, Dead
Prez, Chuck D, Keith Murray, Buckshot, Kanye West,
Erykah Badu and others.
Since 1999, Brooklyn Producer/DJ Dub Gabriel and Last
Poets’s founder Umar Bin Hassan have collaborated in
many ways.
First with Umar’s now legendary appearance on Dub
Gabriel’s Baraka Orchestra album, Then with Dub
Gabriel and Prof. Shehab releasing Umar’s album
produced by Bill Laswell. Gabriel’s Current album
“Bass Jihad” is a modern Middle Eastern Dub
masterpiece being compared by Billboard magazine to
Brian Eno as well as on the best of 2005 list from
many magazines and radio stations from around the
world.
The night will be a celebration of not only the return
meeting of these two artist, but also it will be the
first time Dub Gabriel is in New York since moving to
Berlin Germany 8 months ago.
This legendary night will feature Dub Gabriel\s
Brooklyn Massive soundsystem doing all live dubbing
and music creating. as well as Trumpet maestro Satish
on the dub trumpet and surprise guest!!
and of course your host and pilot for the evening on
the ones and twos Mr. Francois K.!!

pure data

2006-04-17T03:51:16Z

hey folks, a friend and I recently took a workshop in pure data, a graphical programming language developed by miller puckette of max/msp fame. though it is still maintained by him, it is an open source project with a large developer base. like max, it is used a lot for foofy computer music and art installations, it is quite capable of being used in conjunction with midi and light/heat/motion sensors and whatnot, it is obscenely versatile. we're definitely newbies to PD, but we'd love to find more folks interested in it. I unfortunately lost the contact info for the other 8 ppl that took the workshop with us here in portland...

if you are interested at all in audio or video creation and mixing and don't have thousands to spend on commercial, closed source software, this is really worth looking into. it is available for free at puredata.info. if u are familiar with max or reaktor, the interface will be almost intuitive for u, with objects "patched" together in a graphical environment which models the flow of commands. it is kind of hard to get off the ground (we're getting there), but once u do, u can do a lot with it.
if interested, join our tribe!

Performing laptop music live while still entertaining

2006-04-04T04:42:56Z

Hey all,

Last night i threw a house party as a benifit to support my house, which is a low income housing cooperative.

I learned a lot of things doing that show. I had broken the show into 2 parts. The first part was a mix of my pop stuff with other of my weird and esoteric tracks. The second half i just straight DJed a bunch of my dance tracks.

The second half was extremely fun, and i did ok keeping the dance floor going most of the night.

The first half was a living hell. I think (now) that my non-dance stuff doesn't translate well to live performance. I definitely felt the "what's he doing up there, checking his email?" vibe going on, and the whole thing felt kinda flat. I got a lot of feedback that people were wishing that the screen of my laptop had been projected up on the wall so they could see what the hell i was doing. I'm also thinking that the stuff i write that follows more traditional song structure is not very compelling without live vocals (maybe even with a hand drummer or something.)

Anyway, anybody have thoughts or idea's around live performance of laptop music? What do you do? What works?

Thanks,

bi

http://tribes.tribe.net/digitalsounddesigners

I started a new tribe for people who are specifically interested in
designing sounds, both digitally (and acoustically).

I wanted a place where people can share creative approaches,
share their own work, share the work of other sound designers that they
admire and discuss the specific tools of original sound design.

Come join us there if this sounds intriguing.

Birdflute echo chamber (mp3) - by Indian in the machine

River cane birdflute in an electronic echo chamber.

The Spirit of Tupac Amaru Shakur... a visitation.

2006-01-17T07:32:03Z

I was in my bedroom studio in Asheville with a friend, a homeless friend that I hired to help me clean my bar who was an intensely insane yet spiritual clairvoyant and illiterate rapper. We were working on a song about sorrow and life and I was deep into a freestyle about my own death and resurrection, and I saw myself saying the words, "as the darkness covers my eyes,". There was a loud explosion and an incense holder in the shape of a shamanic character that was not being used that my mother brought me from peru was flying across the room in pieces. There was a picture of Tupac behind it and tupac came floating down and landed right on the keyboard, staring at us with that intense stare like, WHAT! Chills went up my spine and we started freaking out and jumping up and down. Since then i've tried to make it a practice to invoke certain spiritual artists before i begin to write, especailly tupac and bob marley. Anybody else do this? Who do you call on for spirutal and creative guidance?

Saturn's Weird Radio Sounds

2005-07-31T10:37:06Z

This is some of the weirdest shit I've ever heard!

http://abc.net.au/science/news/sound/20050729_saturn.mp3

from: http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1425596.htm
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Singing Saturn electric
Larry O'Hanlon
Discovery News

Weird radio broadcasts from Saturn, caused by the interaction between the solar wind and the planet's magnetic field, have been captured by the electronic ears of the Cassini spacecraft.

The loudest and most bizarre sounds are coming from the ringed planet's aurora, or northern and southern lights.

Dr William Kurth, of the University of Iowa, and team, report on the sounds of Saturn in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters.

"Strangely enough, they are very similar to what we hear at Jupiter and Earth," says Kurth.

The reason for the similarity is that all three planets, along with Neptune, Uranus, Mercury and even Jupiter's moon Ganymede, generate their own magnetic fields that interact with charged particles steaming out from the sun.

When those particles are channelled to the magnetic poles of planets, they can create strange lights and other electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves.

"What's happening is all of the electrons bundle up together and spontaneously emit the electrical field" that is detectable as radio waves, says team member, Dr Don Gurnett, a pioneer of planetary radio emissions, also of the University of Iowa.

It's a truly weird thing, he says, and researchers aren't yet precisely sure how planetary magnetic fields are made.

Radio waves don't get through Earth's atmosphere

Jupiter has been known to broadcast its own radio emission since the early days of radio astronomy, says Gurnett.

But that's because Jupiter broadcasts in a wide range of frequencies, he said. Saturn sings the planet electric in a narrower band that doesn't make it through Earth's atmosphere.

Earth's own auroral radio emissions weren't detected until the late 1970s, says Gurnett.

That's because our own ionosphere, at the top of our atmosphere, filters out that particular band of radio waves.

The first time scientists discovered Saturn's radio emissions was when the Voyager spacecrafts made the first tours of the sixth planet back in 1980 and 1981.

At that time they were only able to record limited frequencies, listening and stepping up bands every few minutes.

In contrast, Cassini's instruments can get eight radio "spectrums" per second, says Kurth.

That makes for a far better resolution of what the planet is singing.

Saturn, says Kurth, turns into a planet-sized radio station when the charged solar wind flows and sort of bows Saturn's magnetic field.

That creates an emitter with one billion watts of power, he says. That's about 100,000 times more powerful than a well-equipped human-made radio station on Earth.

Besides just being eerie, the sounds of Saturn likely contain clues to the inner workings of Saturn that create the magnetic field, says Kurth.

Saturn's radio emissions could provide some clues to alien worlds as well, he says.

Already, team member Dr Philippe Zarka of the Paris Observatory in Meudon, France, has begun looking for similar radio signals from "hot" Jupiter-like planets orbiting other stars, says Kurth.

If or when he succeeds, it could reveal an unprecedented amount of detailed information about the structure of planets not yet seen in visible wavelengths.

LIVE LOOPING TRIBE started

2005-06-11T08:04:26Z

With the two largest live looping events scheduled in history for this summer in Zurich Switzerland and Santa Cruz, California I think it is time to have a tribe that specifically addresses the phenomenae ofI LIVE LOOPING. A tribe for all the people who love using either
software or hardware based to perform in public.

Not intended to compete with this tribe (or any tribe)
we will discuss aesthetic aspects of performing live
with looping gear; share stories of our origins, aspirations, frustrations, gear lust, gear tragedies, etc.

Come join if this sounds interesting:

WHAT THE REVIEWS ARE SAYING!!!!!!!

SMOTHER.NET
Blending urban sounds of dub with ethnic complex rhythms, Dub Gabriel’s “Bass Jihad” is a relentless assault on your body—you will have to dance the entire length of the album. Personally I love dub, though for a lot of folks it’s an acquired taste that most unfortunately aren’t willing to develop. But if you’re ever interested in hearing some of the best dub out there you must pick up this essential album. The songs swirl about in this cerebral musical landscape that boasts tremendous space while not feeling like it’s missing something. Production-wise the album is jaw-dropping with its low-end frequencies perfectly tweaked for even the worst speakers out there. I can’t complement this album enough; you have to hear it for yourself!
http://www.smother.net/reviews/techno.php3?ID=316

PASTE MAGAZINE
4 stars
Educated in the Laswellian school of bass-heavy
deconstruction,Brooklyn-based producer/DJ/four-stringer Dub Gabriel returns with another exploration of Arabic-leaning landscapes tuned to the sound of his namesake.
A confluence of warlike rhythms (hence the album
title) are ingeniously layered by an analog flurry of percussion, mizmar(reed pipe) and ney(Turkish flute). The 11-track record plays like a Kubrickian soundtrack
for future societies where all the world’s instruments are thrown into one circle and the orgy is conducted by none other than the archangel Gabriel himself.

DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY
This is my man Dub Gabriel's second solo effort and again he's got it down. Our hero has worked with Bill Laswell, Qaballah Steppers, Baraka Orchestra and Samara Sound System. His first solo disc, 'Ascend' from last year was one of the few great dub efforts I've heard in recent memory. He is back again with a little help from Mark Deutsch on bazantar (an acoustic bass-like invention), Subluna on didgeridoo, Fred Stubbs on ney, Ahad Nazarzadeh on saz and a couple of MC's Young Sand and Khalil. Dub Gabriel is a strong producer, always doing an enchanting job of layering a swirling array of exotic percussion, cosmic snaking-charming double reeds, thick bass and mesmerizing echoed guitars and keyboards. This swell, sly music is mostly instrumental, the groove and ambiance always intoxicating. The occasional vocal bits are often sampled and used like another tasty ingredient in this mysterious and delectable stew. Yo Dub-mon, this sh*t is pretty ripe, supremely righteous and completely groovy! Word! – BLG

Hamsters + MIDI = brilliance!

Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control

by Levy Lorenzo

Abstract:

This project was initially fueled by the desire to explore the MIDI protocol. It was decided that this would be accomplished by building a MIDI device. I also aimed to make something novel that had never been done before. But to balance out the unusual nature of its design, I wanted to also to create something that was very musical.After much consideration of different technical design aspects and contemplating various musical ideas, I was able to arrive at a project that would fulfill all of my musical and engineering goals.An intelligent MIDI sequencer was designed with hamster control. The MIDI sequencer intelligently produced melodies by manipulating the musical elements of rhythm and note-choice. Guided by inputs based on hamster movements, Markov chains were used to perform such beat and note computations. In culmination, 3 simultaneous voices were produced spanning 3 octaves and 3 rhythmic tiers. Each voice was controlled by two hamsters: one that was responsible for adjusting the rhythmic qualities of the melody and another that modified the note sequence. With all of these elements in combination, an output was produced with very musical qualities.All of this was implemented using an Atmel Mega32 microcontroller, distance sensors, a HamsterMIDI Controller, and 6 hamsters. Embedded C programming implemented the algorithms and computations within the sequencer.Overall, this project was successful. The control between the hamsters and the musical intelligence turned out very well. The music sounds as good as I imagined, and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my design experience.

new STOMPBOX PEDALS tribe

2004-06-03T10:03:15Z

Even though I started my musical life off as a drummer, I have always loved stomp box pedals.

For someone who can hardly even play a proper chord on a guitar, I have collected them; lusted after them; perused hundreds of catalogues; gawked at dozens of floor pedal setups of performing musicians (damn, have you ever seen the LA band, WOVEN's floor pedal set up? DAMN!!)

Tonight, I was wishing I had a tribe to go to, to ask a question about distortion pedal recommendations and I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd start this tribe going.

Please come join me at the STOMPBOX PEDALS tribe if you resonate with this obsession.

Thanks, Rick Walker

CSound

2004-05-06T06:16:28Z

"Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches. Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor. Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the "instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes." In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge, interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050 oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice granular texture! Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in Csound these dreams can come true!"

The beauty of the Tao

2004-04-30T20:37:04Z

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/taosynth/

"Tao is a software package for sound synthesis using physical models. It provides a virtual acoustic material constructed from masses and springs which can be used as the basis for building quite complex virtual musical instruments."

Although it's not real time, any device that can build "an instrument with 40 microtonally tuned strings whose structure evolves as it is played" gets an A+ for me.

I don't have the processor power to play with this yet (soon though, so very soon!) so I thought I would pass it off to all of you for your entertainment.

MIDI Mapping

2004-04-16T20:38:21Z

MIDI has always fascinated me. Particularily, i'm interested in remapping a signal through several devices, so the original signal comes out sounding nothing like the original, and instead sounds completely unreal and fantasically new.

I found a few interesting sites on the subject, this is a good site for MIDI related information: http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/

And the following software looks interesting in that direction:

ArborRhythms Music Processor

ARMP generates music using mathematical, linguistic, logical, musical, and
syntactic functions (60+). These functions are nodes in a hierarchical, binary-branching tree structure.

Midi Fish 1.0

- translate any note into any other note
- translate any MIDI controller into any other controller
- modify or invert controller ranges
- split each note into multiple zones based on controllers (eg. velocity)
- each zone has individual volume, output note, and output MIDI port
- gradual crossfade between zones
- simple, non-technical user interface, mostly controlled by MIDI

MidiOX: http://www.midiox.com/
Fractal Tune Smithy: http://tunesmithy.co.uk/

There are quite a few collaborative softwares out there as well...

LiveJam Alpha 2.0

Software for jamming live with people over the 'net using MIDI. (Musicians routing MIDI through devices, through the computer, and then through the internet into another computer, through their devices, through their computer and...)

Melodus 1.1.4

Melodus enables real-time, two-way streaming of MIDI. You can connect with other users to make, play, and share MIDI music online.

Let me know of your midi mapping experiments, success with certain software, unusual midi occurances, and any midi related technique you can think of that might benefit all of us who have ever wanted to see what happens when you switch the plugs around to a never seen combination and press the play button.

Cymatics and the tonoscope

2004-03-30T17:14:49Z

I just recently was exposed to the tonoscope, a device that transforms soundwaves into a 2 dimensional space by vibrating metal plates with quartz sand on them in relation to the frequency of oscillation of a crystal.

The first inventor, Chladni, did this with a bow and white sand on a black drum lid. It can apparently be done with a cardboard tube pointed at the drum to vocalize word sounds onto to the drum, which results in some rather odd patterns when sanskrit or hebrew names are recited.

OM ends up appearing as the Sri Yantra.

Does anyone know of a software version of this? I might give it a shot with CSound even though I know next to nothing about programming.

Looking up the tonoscope also lead me to Cymatics, the study of how vibrations, generate and influence patterns, shapes and moving processes.

Learning

2004-03-23T22:45:25Z

Listening to people play an instrument for the first time (with no guidance!) can make some of the most beautiful compositions I have ever heard. For some reason, the slow comprehension, the experimentation and innovation and moment of realization makes for a completely different and beautiful kind of composition.

One of my dreams is to get a group of children in a room full of instruments and microphones and see what kind of bizzarre and abstract music erupts out of the cacophony.

The music of learning is painful at times, but well worth the listen!

CellPhone Echo Feedback

2004-03-14T10:14:14Z

I have yet to mic it, but you can make some trippy sounds by holding 2 cell phones connected to each other close to each other. As you speak into them the sounds loop back and forth creating a unique echo/feedback tone. Then you can tweak it out by pulling the phones away and closer to each other while making random noises into them.

My MIDI keyboard is alive.

2004-02-14T12:33:55Z

While rockin' out the other day, a precariously placed glass of water tipped over and landed on my untampered with midi keyboard.

I turned it on to see if it works, and it does. Only now it has attitude. It snarls, it spits, it yells, it wails and seems to respond to what I do with it.

Surprisingly, the MIDI still comes out perfect.

(Note: This is not a recommended SSSS technique.)

Just had an odd memory...

2004-02-13T05:23:39Z

As I was writing a post on tribe, I recalled on old post on a humour forum that had read. The post was authored by the son of a Russian scientist, a scientist who had apparently created a machine that created music entirely based on the brain waves that humans put off. Pictures were provided of the device with the son inside, and he replied later to the thread saying he would get recordings of the music for the rest of the forum readers. Apparently, his first experience in the chair had been a mind blowing experiencing, putting him in a trance and instantly having music that would interact with his thought patterns. The equivalent of staring into a mental mirror.

He never returned to the thread.

So, if a being were to embark on such an adventure as CREATING A DEVICE THAT MAKES MUSIC IN RELATION TO BRAIN WAVES, what subjects would they have to be versed in? What way would you do it? Software? Hardware? What kind of sensors?

I think I just might give it a go. I have so many projects on the run right now, but having a grand one to strive for would be fun.

Self Observation in Audio

2004-02-11T10:25:54Z

This has been one of my most fruitful techniques so far.

Record everything you do!
Whether you're just mucking about with a new program, playing with FX or trying out some new melodies, have a recording program running in the background. This ensures you never run into that "shit, I wish I had recorded that" syndrome.

Make sure each time you create sound in physical space that it is recorded so it can be used at a later time.

Synth Crashing!

2004-02-09T15:28:39Z

Hi!

I've found a neat way to get really chaotic sounds out of my synth (Virus C) by crashing it with an overload of midi data.

I could only imagine what this would do to a sampler.

First of all get yourself a copy of a good modular midi program such as PD, max/msp, supercollider, csound, etc...

and patch together something to send huge amounts of patch changes at a very high rate. This makes the Virus spit out some VERY interesting sounds before it crashes, and I can only imagine what it would do with a sampler =)

I'll upload an mp3 of my muddling with this later on (ie: when I find it)

Ghetto Voltage Regulator

2004-02-03T04:01:55Z

*This is just an added bonus to your circuit bent projects...
Remember when you were young and the batteries on your favorite toy statred to go dead, that worbled unnatural sound that started to eminate...well now you can make it happen when ever you want....works best on circuit bent projects as an extra tool of manipulation...

(Circuit Bending +) I have started to add voltage control to all of my 9 volt projects, it is extremely easy and cheap, but opens up your sound capabilities...
1. Make sure the toy you are using is 9 volt
2. Clip your wires from battery source and PCB
3. From battery source wire red wire to center lug of SPST switch
4. From PCB wire red wire to outer lug of SPST switch
5. From battery source wire black wire to center lug of 500 ohm pot. knob
6. From PCB wire black wire to outer lug of pot. knob
7. Ready to roll from here flip the switch and start experimenting....
Just remember 9volt projects... I will post more info when it is available for different projects of different voltages

***No resposible for any damage that may occur****

Artifact recording volume two

2004-01-30T16:41:02Z

My wife is a really great multi-instrumentalist and we
each have a computer music studio in our house (we don't even have a dining room table any more because of it.....lol).

Anyway, she is a meticulous digital editor and during one of her last projects, she was dealing with a musician she had recorded who had less than perfect timing.

Consequently, in an attempt to micro edit the recording into shape she spent hours and hours cutting out little blips or re-EQing them. I was sitting in the other room working on my next CD and I kept hearing these glitchy little artifacts that she was working on completely out of context of the piece. I kept popping my head in the room and saying.........would you save that snippet for me........what a cool sample.

Now she just keeps an Artifacts for Rick folder on her desktop and if she hears a snippet when I'm not around that she thinks would interest me, she just saves it there.

When I'm stuck in a piece or unsure if I should add another element to something (I'm a bit of a minimalist, compositionally) I can frequently go to that folder and the perfect random element is already there waiting to be used.

It's amazing how frequently I find something useful out of this technique.

PS if anyone is still reading this.........please come over and join the Audio Plugin Junkies Annonymous tribe. We are talking about a lot of similar techniques of randomness in plugins, like the fascinating SupaTrigga.

We also started an AudioPluginJunkiesAnnonymous@yahoogroups.com
so that we can upload and download examples of the techniques that we are discussing (or even loops to share). I would love to suggest that this very hip tribe to the exact same thing. I"d love to hear some of these very cool techniques you are describing, Volo and everyone else.

Glad to be hear.........thanks for this wonderfully creative tribe. I'll bring some creative people here after I finish posting this.

Multi Axis Points

2004-01-30T10:19:38Z

Simple but I enjoy some of the effects I've gotten from it...Take a drill/dremel tool whatever and add additional axis points to old vinyl you can find at thrift stores and the like...It works really nice if you happen to have an old record player that has 16, 33, 45, 72 r.p.m
Like I said simple but have gotten some of my fav. samples from this technique

Artifact recording

2004-01-30T09:59:39Z

I'm a professional percussionist as well as a live looper/abstract electronic musician.

One time when I was recording some percussion samples with a very sensitive microphone (and an ADAT in the other room), I forgot to bring the remote into the room, so I just kept sampling percussion instruments and kept the tape rolling.

Well, at one point, I stumbled over a bag of percussion instruments and it made the coolest sample.

I immediately, stopped what I was doing and purposefully loaded up the percussion back with different sets of percussion instruments and dropped them randomly on the ground.

Playing through each 'sample' I discovered really cool artifacts that I turned into loops.

A surprising number of these events (if time stretched) had naturally occuring pieces that sounded like perfect triplet or 16th note syncopations.

You can use this technique to with any set of objects in a big bag. Or try dropping a whole set of silver ware on the ground over and over.............great random stuff.
