Generate 3

Tomoko Sauvage, Japanese musician and artist active since mid 2000’s, investigates the sculpturality of sound and improvisation in relation to the environment. Mainly known for a musical / visual research about ‘natural synthesizer’ of her invention, composed with diverse fluid, bowls, ceramic, light and underwater amplification, Sauvage’s approach is attached to questions of alchemy, meditation and balance between hazard and mastery.

I grew up with American-influenced Japanese pop music and classical piano training. Akiko Yano greatly influenced me to cultivate my passion for jazz. Also Tokyo in the 90's was multicultural and I was listening a lot to soul, funk, brazilian and "world" music… When I moved to Paris after studying jazz piano in New York, I started to study Indian music (Paris has some Indian musicians via Pondicherry). Through Alice Coltrane and Terry Riley, I became interested in Indian music and that lead to the birth of my electro-aquatic waterbowls instrument. When I played my instrument using water drops in Japan, people said that it sounded like suikinkutsu - a traditional sound decoration system in Japanese tea garden - ceramic vase buried under the fountain. It's like I made a round the world tour to find my own roots. 

I loved the coincidence that made this playlist filled with singing birds - either accidentally recorded ones, synthesizers sounding like them or sampled sounds of a domestic bird (named Cagesan). Also Mahalingam's flute is my favorite bird mimicry...

Through-zero FM sweep using two Generate 3 modules, full timbral output.

Generate 3 - Divide By Zero

Tic Tac UFO

Insurgency

Creating 'filtered' synth lines using a separate decay envelope for each timbral channel. By adjusting the decay times, the parts will decay at different rates, giving the illusion of various filter sweeps on the full output. Some phase modulation is added in the second part for additional interest.

Generate 3 - Filtered Arpeggios

Generate 3's volt/octave input is driven by a random sample-and-hold sequence, while a second VCO is controlled by an LFO. This secondary LFO provides G3 with through-zero FM. An additional LFO adds some more exponential FM to finish off this patch.

2 sine waves at different frequencies go into sync and flip sync inputs. This gives the illusion of hearing 2 pitches with only 1 output, because of the complex harmonic content. When modulating only 1 of the sine waves, it becomes easy to hear as if there were 2 sources in the mix when in fact there is only 1 oscillator. Generate 3’s pitch is manually controlled to find the desired overall timbre. The core output goes into a low pass gate modulated by Contour 1.

Generate 3 - Double Sync

A sine wave goes into Generate 3’s through-zero FM input. Manually changing the frequency ratios between the modulation source and Generate 3’s own frequency will yield a wide variety of timbres. The core output is then sent through a low pass gate with envelope modulation.
