Sound: Advanced Topics I (G6610, Fall 2016) week 6

granulation

First of all, we did finish up a few things about delays that we didn't have time to cover last week (all of the patches including the comb-filter patches we did in this class are now in the week5-classpatches.zip archive).

Then we began to have Fun with Granulation!

Links

leisure

[jg.granulate~] -- good Max/MSP granulator object written by John Gibson. (check out his other software too!)
PeRColate objects -- this packages includes the infamous [munger~] object. Hey! PeRColate was done here at CU, by Dan Trueman and Luke DuBois! Yay!
granular toolkit v1.49 -- a good collection of granular tools for Max/MSP developer by Nathan Wolek
granulatarize -- my very first SuperCollider project. Yikes, 13 years ago!

music:

I played some pieces at the end of class, here they are again:
Riverrun -- one of the first big 'granular' pieces, composed by Barry Truax. It (along with several others) is available on Barry's Digital Soundscapes CD. Barry also wrote a short description of how the piece was made along with additional text about granular synthesis.
Idle Chatter -- the first of Paul Lansky's "chatter" pieces, done using small fragments of speech resynthesized using a technique called LPC (Linear Predictive Coding). Idle Chatter was released by Bridge records on Paul's CD More Than Idle Chatter
grateful.drum -- the piece by Terry Pender I played.
kotos-10.2016-GMperform -- from the performance I did last week with Miya at the koto extravaganza we hosted. Web page coming soon!

Class Downloads

week6-classpatchesA.zip -- the granular patches we developed in class. This is labelled as archive "A" because I have more to put here, but we won't be covering them until next week. Check back after that and I'll put the ones we do in that class on-line here.
week6-classpatchesB.zip -- the patches we didn't cover until the next class (time! time!). This archive has the SC3 buffer information, too, showing how to set up, record and play an SC3 buffer. Also include are the help patches for John Gibson's Max/MSP granulator and the [munger~] object from the PeRColate collection (links above).
