Rhythmic Processing is a technique that allows the creation of multiple rhythmic elements, in real-time, from a single instrumental part. The dynamic accents of the instrumental part (in this case an arpeggiated sequence from the analog synth MiniBrute) are routed into several plugin chains, each one creating a separate rhythmic element. 
Rhythmic Processing is available with my other sound design techniques in this bundle: https://diegostocco.gumroad.com/l/FFS123

In this track you can hear the processing of a synth sequence created with an Arturia MiniBrute analog synth.

The Signal

In this track you can hear how I applied my Convolution Processing technique to a vocal part written and sung by Katie Chastain of Faux Fix. “My Antagonist”, which is also the title of the album, is produced by my friend film composer Nathan Johnson (“Brick”, “Looper”, “Don Jon”) and Son Lux. If you’d like to hear the original version and purchase  the album here’s the link on Bancamp: http://fauxfix.bandcamp.com/album/my-antagonist

A couple of notes about what you’ll hear in this processed version. First of all, it all starts with the dry vocal part, I didn’t use any additional synth, instrument or vocal line. The initial chord and the blurred bass sounds are the result of Convolution Processing, as well as all the other elements that you’ll hear. I started by creating some custom Impulse Responses, which I then loaded into several dedicated chains in Ableton Live and finally exported the individual elements to be mixed in Pro Tools.

Stylistically, I wanted to maintain the natural beauty of Katie’s voice at the center, so the processing is elegant and subtle, you won’t hear extreme vocal transformations.

I hope you’ll enjoy it and feel free to ask questions. Here you can find more info about my Convolution Processing technique and other in this bundle: https://diegostocco.gumroad.com/l/FFS123

Processed Vox // Faux Fix “My Antagonist”

This is a short cinematic track I made by combining percussive instruments with sounds I recorded on the Saddle Peak hike trail near Calabasas. The idea behind this track was to use sounds both in their raw and processed forms, creating a hybrid of evolving timbres and foley elements functioning as rhythmic counterparts. 

For this piece I used my Rhythmic Processing and Convolution Processing techniques to process each element and decided to use only Impulse Responses derived from those natural sounds and ambiences I recorded.

Percussive Echoes

This is a short track I made with a MeeBlip Anode and a touch of Convolution Processing.

The track is based on several parts I played with the Anode, including the rhythmic part (the "Snare Drum" sound is actually made by turning off the Anode). As the track becomes musically more defined you'll also start noticing other elements coming in, a tuned ambience in response to the dry Bichords, additional rhythmic elements that enrich the basic beat and a subtle wide ambience. 

These have been created by processing the initial rhythmic elements with my Rhythmic Convolutions set of impulse responses http://bit.ly/FFSRC and some new ones that I created specifically for this track by using the Anode as the source.

Phantasm

Diego Stocco is an inventor of unusual musical instruments, music sound designer and composer.
One of his most recognizable instruments is the Experibass, a mutated double bass for which he invented a playing technique called “Sticcato”, creating an intense combination of tonal and percussive timbres. With this instrument, he was invited to be a featured soloist on the soundtrack of "Sherlock Holmes" scored by Oscar®-winning composer Hans Zimmer, the video games "Assassin's Creed" and "Darktide" with BAFTA-winning composer Jesper Kyd and as a composer and performer of his piece “Thunderous” for the film "Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire”. As a composer, he produced the music for the video game "The Conduit” and the film "Chernobyl Diaries”, where he experimented with more strange instruments and sonic approaches. 
The music and sound design elements from his Sonic Artifact label, specialized in horror, thriller, western and sci-fi genres, is distributed worldwide by BMG Production Music and have been placed on dozens of film trailers, films and TV shows.

As one of the Principal Sound Designers, Diego created numerous iconic sounds for the core libraries of Spectrasonics Stylus RMX, Trilian, Bob Moog Tribute Library and the flagship synth Omnisphere. His approach to listening and psychoacoustic microphone techniques allowed him to discover musically playable sounds in a variety of common objects, such as light bulbs, a clothes drying rack, a leather hat, and a number of odd instruments created by combining pieces of furniture and parts of appliances with traditional instruments. One of his most extreme sampling session was the Burning Piano, a piano sampled while it was on fire. He later created his own Sonic Extension for Omnisphere called Twisted Trees, where he built original sculptural instruments inspired by forest trees and the random motion of elements of nature.

Diego explored the sound of nature and trees with a series of musical videos, starting from Music from Sand, Music from a Tree, and Music from Nature. In these works, a lighter, playful and more abstract approach to sound appears, where he let the unconventional sounds inspire the composition. He also built instruments that can be seen as imaginative little places, like the Magical Butterfly Valley and the Miniature Forest Piano, where the listener is invited to listen to the instruments as if they were played by butterflies and birds.

Diego also created a unique approach to Convolution processing with his “Rhythmic Convolutions” sets, where he takes sounds produced by a variety of objects, materials and interactions to create original Impulse Responses that transfer both their rhythmic and spectral profile to drums, synths and any instrument with fast attacks. Occasionally Diego teaches workshops and masterclass where he shares his imaginative approach with other musicians and sound designers.
