Codon (microsound/granular synthesis) ~ Gen Thalz

"Beneath the level of the note lies the realm of sound particles. Each particle is a pinpoint of sound." ~ Curtis Roads (electroacoustic composer/computer programmer)

The idea is to apply the method of granular synthesis but we didn't use any granulator or software synthesis available today. What we do is like a sonic pointillism, we grab a small pieces of sounds (about 3 to 30 milliseconds) out of our chosen sample sounds then clone or combine those sound particles repeatedly to achieve a desire sounds by doing some time and pitch shifting.

Then just like music concrete, we arrange those sounds rhythmically and randomly, time/pitch shift several of it again, and apply some delay and reverb into some of it.

The process is very tedious but overwhelmingly satisfying if you're into sound designs.

Ingredients:

- Sound Particles

1.Short porn video clip converted to mp3
2.Recorded sound under the bed at exactly 3am
3.Toy keyboard circuitbent sound

For the visuals, we cut a small part (about 27x15 in dimensions) out of our "Bits and Glitches 3" illustration then tweak it, rotate, rescale, and animate it. The result is very organic and mystic.

Follow Your Skin

2011-12-22T14:02:27.948Z

Follow Your Skin is visual music composed from recordings made live in the Experimental Television Center, New York using voltage controlled video synthesis. A terrestrial TV signal is mapped into patterns created by a Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Short snippets of the TV’s audio are randomly introduced in an attempt to recontextualise the broadcast and perchance elicit new meaning.

Recorded live in the experimental TV Studio New York using 80s technology, simple tones, buzzes and glitches are transformed into visual representations.

When three of these recordings are juxtaposed, complete with audio, new rhythmic and harmonic, audio visual complexities…
