Atelier takes the recent music-box patch and lets the current run wild — randomising at VERY nearly halF (49.1%), with morphs stretching from 14 seconds to the full minute maximum. Now THAT'S what I call a crossfade! 🎚️

What begins as a gentle stream becomes a weir, a weird, and then … weirder still, via liquid transitions. 💦

broken guitar —
in its hollow body
a whisper of C
(from the 2025 British Haiku Society Members’ Anthology)

A haiku, a generative patch, and a robot’s dream of music.
This piece begins with an improvised out-of-tune acoustic guitar recording — the same Atelier structure as the earlier music box patch, reshaped into something moody and oddly atmospheric.

The visuals? A robot trying (and failing beautifully) to play guitar — an AI imagining itself as musician, all bendy fingers and impossible strings. A perfect mirror for what generative sound really is: identity blinking between intention and accident.

Nearly 5 years ago, I uploaded a track called halF nutS ... https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-nuts ... Who'd have thought I'd be going nuts again now! 😁

This is another GRM Tools Atelier noise experiment ... and you can see the accompanying visuals (as well as the original nuts recorded for mangling) on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/At3lfc1nK6M

Oh, and you can see me turn into a sock puppet ... 😜 Weresock transformation around about 1:30 ... 🤫
