8bit AVR Granular Synthesis. 2 grains behave as formants synchronized to the rate of a pulse wave, setting the fundamental frequency. The grain frequencies modulate the bandwidth. The triangle waves are formed by a Timer ramping up and back down triggering an audio rate interrupt, in Phase Correct Mode, by counting up and then inversed (backdown). Efficient dynamic timbral using the techniques of granular synthesis with 32KHz SR. Audio output with PWM.

Centinal Quiff - Mission One

Samples recorded from audio in the public domain (footage from Pathe News Reels).  Public information broadcasts of Nuclear Bomb Tests, chilling  Cold War News stories, over the rhetoric of Harold McMillan in his public proclamations of hope and optimism from his "You've Never Had It So good" and "Winds of Change" speeches.

CentinalQuiff Never Had It So Good (1950s)

This is a segment of LifeInSound SoundArt material, an audio snippet. Audio from Librivox recordings including Rabelais Gargantua et Pantagruel, Flaubert L'education Sentimentale, with snippets of 1950s London Life and interviews from the England's Women's World Cup Rugby victory in Paris.

This excerpt is sampled and mixed with live tennis and hockey sounds including pitch/court-side spectators with themes from two Chopin Piano sonatas woven through, in a movement from a LifeInSound piece representing school life into  life at the Sorbonne (at start of the 1960s).
