Waves

A recording of my Eurorack synth performance at the release of Dennis Eriksson's space opera graphic novel – Top Sterling. Available on nilledition.com

Top Sterling

Stream of consciousness sampling from purely musical sources.
Plunderphonics, piracy, collages, experimental.

Lysaker Zoo - Kneggkjeks

A simple demo.
4 voices playing choppy chords
1 voice playing bass (derived from the root note from the harmonaig)
1 voice playing arpeggio (sequential switch cycling through the 4 voices from the harmonaig)
The sequence is F, D#, D, C
and the mode is being varied through Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian and I lost track of the others! :)

This is not a song its a sound design demo. These sounds were generated using WaveGan. 
https://github.com/chrisdonahue/wavegan

WaveGan uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) machine learning system to train a model that can generate sounds. The raw sounds were heavily processed using VSTs, so this isn't a pure demonstration of its capabilities. The WaveGan model supplied the raw source material and I molded it in to something musical. There is a lot of compression, EQ, distortion and some synthesis added. The baseline is the least like the raw material. The only sound that wasn't generated by the model is the kick drum. Percussion sounds need to be trained individually or they loose their form. The demo uses 4 sounds generated by the model. Due to the complexity of the there is rarely more than 2 sounds playing simultaneously. 

This model was trained on the NIN Ghosts Album. I think it did a great job of capturing the essence of NIN/Trent Rezor's industrial sound. 

NIN's free release of Ghosts was an amazing act of generosity to the world and I'm very appreciative that I could use it for this model. That said it does not in anyway copy or reproduce any particular sound from this album. It creates statistically similar sounds which lack any real musical context. 

Here are the raw waveforms. I'm working on improving the quality.

GAN - Ghosts - Sound Design Demo

Arrows

Mostly Eurorack modular/synth music (D-05 and Prophet 6 recently), some ML-generated and pre-2016 lots of Ableton, Maschine, various effects and controllers, and rarely - microphones recording non-electronic things
