YouTube Uploaded by pointblankonline on Oct 28, 2011

"http://www.pointblankonline.net/ableton-live-sound-design.php -
With Halloween just around the corner, we decided to show you some Ableton sound design techniques to make a drone synth full of slime, ghouls and goblins!

Danny J Lewis builds an instrument rack with the spooky parameters 'Drama', 'Mystery', 'Critters', and 'Demons'... can you guess what the macro parameters are controlling before Danny reveals all?

This is a sample taken from week 3 of the upcoming Ableton Live Sound Design course which launches in January 2012. Find out more about that here: http://www.pointblankonline.net/ableton-live-sound-design.php -

This and many other racks will be available to download for students enrolled on the course

As for the sound source: "The oscillator has all traditional waveforms and a selection of 4bit wave tables, samples, generative algorithms and frequency modulation available. Noise source includes multiple different types of PRNG (pseudo random number generator) and wave formulations, and control is available over frequency, volume, and sweeping of those parameters. An LFO is also included which is routable to all parts of the synthesis engine, with selectable waveform, frequency, depth and re-triggering options..."

"Northern Mirror, composite video Noho THeatre Group's 2011 July 18th production"

via otoskope who brought us the bugbrand and Palle Dahlstedt custom pencil interface videos here.
"In July I made a collaboration with traditional Japanese dancers and musicians, and this is one of the performances. The NoHo Theatre Company in Kyoto commissioned a piece, and I chose the title Northern Mirror, and composed it in my studio. In Kyoto, director Jonah Salz together with me and the performers created a story around my title, and then performed it at the beautiful Oe Noh-gakudo, one of Kyoto's oldest Noh Theatres.

The electronic pre-recorded part was made from alternate-playing piano sounds, and then processed in a Nord Modular G2, using evolutionary algorithms and custom gestural mappings to control the parameters of complex shuffling algorithms."

otoskope also let me know that the stages are sacred. You have to wear special socks placed in front of it and no electronic devices are allowed on stage. Speakers were discretely placed in front which made monitoring the acoustic musicians a challenge.
