Freeze a sound with Max/MSP/Jitter

Image
In April 2008, I was invited by composers Eric Chasalow and Maxwell Dulaney to give a 2-day seminar on spectral sound processing techniques at Brandeis University Music Department.A topic the music students particularly enjoyed was the frozen sound, the audio equivalent of the cinematic "freeze frame shot". I taught the nuts and bold of the real-time stochastic spectral freeze technique (the stochastic component is aimed at breaking the ice - with the audience).On this video, discover 5 variations on a Max/MSP/Jitter freeze tool:Free downloadsDownload new Spectral freeze Max MSP Jitter patches(link updated Nov. 2019)A Tutorial on Spectral Sound Processing with Max/MSP and Jitter: Computer Music Journal, Fall 2008SyllabusThe program for just two 3-hour workshops was quite ambitious!April 14thOverview of the topic: “Spectral processing, or having fun with graphics and sound.”

Composing for the Sampo

Image
I am honored to have been awarded a commission and residency at the 2019 Sampo Composition Competition, organized by musinfo.Following this award, I have composed a new piece Masse pétrie for cello and the live electronics system Sampo, which will be performed by cellist Marie Ythier. She has worked with many composers, and has recorded new works for cello and live electronics in her album Le Geste Augmenté.I'm looking forward to working with her, and to meeting the festival guest composers.What is the Sampo?The Sampo is a live electronics set-up that implements a simplified version of one algorithm available on the Lexicon sound processor LXP-15. Although the Sampo hardware is quite advanced and expensive (it includes a computer and a sound card), the software's capabilities are more limited than these offered by the original LXP-15 sound processor.
Sampo implements a simplified version of the Pitch-Delay algorithm,
from the Lexicon LXP-15 sound processor. Composing for this ins…
