Valvalion - All tracks

Granular synthesis, phasing.

All material came from a vocal take, granulated and post processed in Pd, produced and mastered in A3.

Text & vocal performance : Faustine Langeais 2013

Une Seconde - Granular Synth.

Ardour3 & Audacity for tracking, mixing and post processing, ZynAddSubFX for modelizing the Guitar Harmonic sounds, PureData for everything else.

Conway's Time Sweep

Drone, phasing, procedural composition.

PureData, Mixbus

Phasing-01

Helios - sound from the Sun.
A drone/harsh noise track with phasing.

This is a tonal reconstruction of the sounds generated by the  Sun.
Basicaly, the frequency of these sounds are very low (the root note is 3233.3 µHz mean 0.003233Hz; human earing range starts from 20hz) so I've transposed of 15 octaves up.

I made the tonal reconstruction using about 80 oscillators to reproduce the fundamental frenquency + the main harmonics.
I sourced the data from the wonderful book "La nouvelle musique des Sphères" by the Astrophysician Sylvie Vauclair

PureData, Mixbus.

Helios

Drone, time-strech
Puredata, Audacity. Tracked, mixed and masterised with Harrison MixBus

The aiming of this channel is to share my prospective works.

I deeply explore here sound textures and unusual musical design. I use granular synthesis, phasing, procedural composition, time manipulating, tonal reconstruction, data bending, glitch, drone, etc …

I like writing, programing, live coding music and playing prepared instruments.
