You make very particlear music!  i like how it granulary develops over time.   ;)  Kult!

Hadronic Compositions

Begun in 1995 this work changedand morhed to Dread; even the totle mprphed.

Many thanks to DrB

ElectroAcoustic Guitar live at MultiNO 2018

A 3-voice textural composition made with the Hadron Particle Synthesizer (Csound/MaxForLive). I've attempted to do some gestural counterpoint between the three different voices. The basic material was improvised live using a midi controller to play the Hadron, three such improvised takes were made. This basic material was then juxtaposed and edited. This was done in an iterative work process, where I would listen to the whole piece and take notes, then do editing, then listen to the whole piece again.
I plan to do a final mix in PT, also trying out some other reverbs.

MagneticForest (in progress)

I bought another set of wave files (about 4,000) called Vimana today for £1.25. They are all science fiction based sounds. As I was putting this together, I heard that the Insight Lander safely touched down on Mars, so there was my title.

Insight Has Landed

Reeds

Experiments in rhythmic particle patterns. Work on the piece started with a source sample of guitar from my friend Trond Engum. The modality of the sample combined with the 8ths rhythmic pattern led me to associate the sound of it to a sort of slow Bach invention. The title refers to the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of elementary particles, in the context of this piece envisioned as a "rhythmic phasing into sync" of several groups of particles.

SpinSync(in progress)

Live recorded improvisation of feedback (microphone input) to the Hadron Particle Synthesizer. No other source sound was used. As the particle synthesizer uses pitch tracking data to control certain parameters in this state, the feedback loop creates a chaotic oscillator.
The recording is heavily saturated, as this seemed necessary to get the feedback loop going. I will investigave cleaner modes of feedback with the particle synth, but as for now, the hard clipping might be said to "fit the mood quite nicely" ...

Improvisation on regular rhythms using Serge Analog Synthesizer, Benjolin, Klangbauköln and csound processing.

Improvisation on a regular pulse

DISORDER / RESONANCE 6

Performance, composition, sound installations, and programming. I work as a professor of music technology at NTNU.
I am particularly interested in the interaction of composition and improvisation, and I use various custom software solutions for improvisatory interplay between me and the computer.
Another area of special focus for me is granular synthesis (what I'd like to term "particle synthesis" when merging all known forms of the granular technique). I use Csound and Python as my main tools, and I've designed some opcodes for the Csound language.
In the past I have worked with the groups Krøyt and Motorpsycho.
