a little experiment with a new system combining a serge modular and a custom looper system with max/msp.

serge experimentations _ petites tentacules

this is a 16 seconds loop extended to three minutes.
an experiment on phasing or phase drifting using the serge, not so far from steve reich's experiments.
there were no concept or pre-conception before or while making this. Just enjoyment.

here is a description of the patch if anyone is interested. (it will at least serve as a block note)

a main clock is generated using the computer, every 8th of a second.
this clock goes into a transient generator, that can divide this clock, it then goes to an N-comp, the bottom knob allows to add some phase drifting, then the top knob allows integer divisions of the clock.
this generated gate goes into an extended adsr, it's output goes into an attenuator, then to a lowpass gate CV and back into the delay CV of the adsr, this allow some other phase drifting/rhythms
the sound is generated by an oscillator into a resonant filter. its frequency cutoff is modulated by the other transient generator, triggered by the N-comp output.
the bottom section of the smoothed/stepped generator is used as a sample and hold, which sample the transient generator output every-time a new envelope is generated, to modulate the filter's frequency cutoff.

this is the first experiment with it, it's in a raw state as is, but I will record something soon or later with this system again.
As I enjoyed making this, I thought some of you would enjoy listening.

some pulsating short sounds are too loud, but no way to mix it, it was recorded layer after layer with the looper, no edit...

serge experimentations _ phasing

Composed, Arranged, Performed, Programmed and Produced by [THOMAS]TRAUMA @ LesPavillonsSauvages (Toulouse, France).

This track is special to me. I wanted to do something paradoxical, At once soft and brutal as I felt when I was writing. For once, I wanted to work differently, I first composed everything on the piano And then I transposed  to machines. It gives an unfriendly and rough track, but sweet, soft and pretty. I managed to express a lot of emotions by working like this, I hope you will feel things too by listening.

Skip one breath

a brief sequenced texture. most of the movement and changes  come from manually tweaking Nitro's settings.

a little serge modular impromptu on a little speaker acoustically amplified by a kick drum and a china cymbal, recorded using a microphone trio.

Situation Modulaire lp + 7inch

a track i recorded today.
I badly played and recorded every instruments, alone.
I used a farfisa compact duo organ, a drum kit (kick, snare, hi-hat, "electric machine" crash china cymbal) and an electric guitar.
this track was intended to play some farfisa to a friend.
