大雨-Ooame: Promoting melancholia with digital radicalism and a cub


video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo




"In an age in which artificial intelligences spew out thousands of pseudo-commercial hits every day, making algorithmic music may seem like an exercise that has lost its meaning. And yet, for some reason, my unconscious has pushed me for decades — from time to time — to create electronic music without using sequencers, synthesizers, samples, or plugins, relying only on mathematics, writing computer programs that give shape to my sensibility without ever tempting me with the absurdity of the prompt.

It would be a lost battle anyway. A commercial AI would never be able to create these strange melodies full of errors and digital stutters, because this is music for outcasts, for nostalgics of a future betrayed by the massification of tools, by cleverness, by pleasant sound design, by cliché, by winning formulas and shortcuts constantly winking at the listener.

I have always believed that real experimental music is music that destabilizes the listener’s very concept of music, and I still believe it.

This is paradoxical music, in which the soul attempts to transmit nostalgia, intimacy, and melancholy through code — and precisely because it is born from code, it is the most anti-AI thing I can imagine.

It is not original music; music ex nihilo does not exist, and it does not pretend to say anything innovative. Yet it tries to communicate that it is still possible to imagine the algorithm outside the algorithm."

Giorgio Sancristoforo's Homework Now Available



You find demos in previous posts here.

Details via Giorgio Sancristoforo:

"Homework is an experimental modular standalone workstation.
A four tracks portastudio-like cassette recorder with granular, reverb, echo and saturation effects, plus two classic modular synthesizers of the 70s.

The synths integrate with the tape recorder and the effects, thanks to a generous number of patch points placed directly on the recorder panel. Homework is a powerful electronic experimental echo-system where fantasy is the only real limit and vintage warm sound is paramount!

THE EYE OF HORUS
is a modular synth carefully modelled after the west coast paradigm with some peculiar features like two Tropical Additive Synthesis Oscillators, a Hybrid Putney Filter, a Triple Variable State BP Filter, a Tropical Shaper, a Comparator and a double sequencer and clock.

Like the 1970s models which inspired it The Eye Of Horus is wild, organic and warm!

SONDA
is a modular synthesizer designed for drones, and inspired by the instrument popularized by the French composer and synthesist Eliane Radigue. Five multi-waveforms oscilaltors, two multi-mode variable state filters/resonators, two modulators/amplifiers, one LPF 24 dB filter, a 7 channel mixer and a special very slow triple low frequency oscillator.

Available for Mac OS (M processors suggested) at giorgiosancristoforo.net"

Testing the mighty Uranograph from ‪@clank_modular‬


video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

Uranograph test #2

video upload by Giorgio Sancristoforo

"If you asked me what the 21st century synthesizer should be like, I would say the Uranograph without a doubt. The integration of the looper inside the synthesizer, its modulation capabilities, its effects, its ergonomics conceived for performance, its immediate controls and its design, make it a unique, futuristic and incredibly fun instrument.

For many years we have seen the 70s repeat themselves, the Uranograph created by the guys from Clank instead takes you into the future. How refreshing!

Thanks to ‪@clank_modular‬ for sending me a ticket to outer space!"
