The danger faced when being an electronic combo, unable to reproduce all audio tracks live, is to become uninteresting to look at when standing behind a computer screen.
As such, for the Firefly Makani-project a system had been developed that allowed the performers to both manipulate audio and synchronize these changes visually to a live-generative visualiser, all in real time.
Twelve track LP released on August 1st, 2021.
Exuvia's narrative concerns the observation of human behaviour: where the desire to belong drives the adoption of a prefab identity, in which individuals appropriate the same uniform characteristics making them indistinct from one another.
As before, the record employs utilities written before or duri...
MWEngine is an audio engine for Android. Its purpose is to sequence audio in a musical context : offering sample accurate scheduling and playback of timed audio events, digital signal processing (DSP) for applying effects, real time synthesis, sample playback and recording.
Out of the box MWEngine comes with templates for basic instruments (such...
Photoshop ? Flattering, but it's not quite the same. BitMappery does however allow you to import photos, draw images, apply transformations, create freeform selections, tweak filters and mask content in a non-destructive manner. It has some overlap in functionality but is definitely a more simple product.

Efflux uses a tracker-type approach for writing compositions; in a tracker a sequence of music is traditionally represented using numeric input: both notes and parameter changes, effects and other commands are ...
Having been tempted to test the WebAudio API's capabilities beyond my initial WebAudio experiment, this experiment is built upon parts of the audio engine I created for Android's MikroWave by porting the C++ code to JavaScript so it can run inside a web browser.
A very peculiar synth...Rather than creating a "new" ...
HomeCorrupter provides an effect that harks back to a period in which computers weren't actually that good at handling audio.
The plugin can degrade the resolution of any incoming audio signal by reducing the sampling rate and bit depth. Further lo-fi quality is achieved by reducing the "computers clock speed" which slows dow...
Transformant provides a multichannel formant filter effect that is tailored to provide gritty, honking, nasal grunts rather than pristine angelic choirs.
The sounds can be shaped across the stereo field with separate oscillators and vowel controls while the sound can be routed through a distortion chain to really accent the o...
Regrader provides a delay effect in which the repeats degrade in various ways to provide a malevolent twist on the ears.
Echoes disintegrate, are decimated, piercingly oscillate and are finally mangled into a sound reminiscent of a jet engine choking on gravel.
Each of the modules within Regrader have different routing possi...
