MUST 1001 - Sound Sculpture - Ethan Wallace

Messing about with a patch I made in Max Msp, these examples are all made from the voice.

Max Msp Experiments

Ambient piece based on an ambulance siren.

Saturday Siren

This is a single audio take of one instance of an algorithmic composition. This project was an attempt to expand my skills in algorithmic composition using Max Msp. I intended to look into the amalgamation of synthesis and samples, combining the two to create a textural piece of music that worked off the idea of randomness and probability.

Please excuse any anomalies in the mix, creating what I might consider a 'nice' mix in Max Msp is rather challenging.  

Drop me a message if you are interested in how this was made or the code in particular.

Down You Go

Live Max Msp performance. Acousmatic performance piece created from a single ten second recording of a crisp packet being scrunched.

Noscergophobia - A snippet of the sounds from the installation.

A site specific installation held at the Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester.

An installation which explores the events and locations that led to the death of Robert Richardson, an engineering labourer who died in 1890. The installation explores the sonorities of the pumping station where he obtained the injuries that led to his death and a hospital in which he finally came to rest, combining these two spaces to create a subtle yet immersive experience.

My artistic intent was to create a sound world where the sounds of both the pumping station and the hospital could occupy the same space and coalesce together to form one. The combination of the two sound sources from two real spaces creates an ‘imaginary’ sonic experience that places the audience in the privileged position of hearing the accumulation of sounds that would not usually coexist. 

Noscergophobia - Snippet
