Instruō - Sound Design with Seashell (with Jason H. J. Lim)

video upload by Instruō

"We launched the Instruō Seashell this year at Superbooth.

This video is a behind the scenes look at a sound design session during which I scored one of the pre-release teaser trailers.

The video footage was shot and edited by Mathew. I used the Seashell as the exclusive sound source and scored the trailer.

No post processing or effects were used other than compression/dynamics.

This was my first experience using the Seashell to this extent within a production context. I was effectively late stage beta testing a prerelease build of both the firmware and plugin. I couldn't be happier with the features the Seashell's integration allows. This is a workflow I've wanted for a long time with this level of flexibility. The portability and form factor we've also achieved with Seashell is something I'm incredibly proud of.

My co-developers at Instruō are a true powerhouse of creativity.
I hope you enjoy the Seashell as much as I have been :)

Minimal Ambient w/ norns shield, OP-1 field, wavestick | Hesitation 2025-06-01 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with norns shield, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and wavestick—ambient music built from evolving minimal phrases, gentle harmonies, and deep drones.

Norns Shield ( https://monome.org/docs/norns/shield/ ) : Runs awake (https://norns.community/awake); a step-sequenced phrase loops and is manipulated live from a monome grid.

OP-1 field: A harmony loop plays while additional lines are performed on its internal synth.

Wavestick: The wavetable is continuously swept, with ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY opening and closing the filter to reshape the timbre."

RC CIRCUIT BENT 'PHOTON DETECTOR' TURN LIGHT INTO SOUND - EXPERIMENTAL NOISE SYNTH

video upload by ResonanceCircuits

"Transform light sources into soundscapes with the Photon Detector from ResonanceCircuits."

I thought the remote control was interesting.

via Resonance Circuits

"The Photon Detector:

A light-to-sound synthesizer for experimental sound design and sonic exploration.

As ambient light, shadows, or focused beams interact with the photo sensor, the device dynamically transforms these optical fluctuations into a rich tapestry of evolving soundscapes..

From subtle shifts in light creating delicate swells and white noise drifts to abrupt changes generating percussive clicks, glitches and intricate rhythms.

The Photon Dector opens up a vast new realm for foley artistry, generative soundscapes and field recording. Discover the unheard sonic potential of your environment - explore, experiment and test everything!

Power on/off switch
'on' led indicator
gain control
tone control
3.5mm stereo mini jack output
powered by 1 x 9v battery - not supplied"

Remembering Dave Smith: A Prophet-5 Story

video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"Today is the anniversary of Dave Smith’s passing, and every year on this day, I find myself reflecting not just on the incredible instruments he created, but on the friendship we built and the tremendous support he gave me in my career.

One of the projects I’m most proud to have been a part of is the reissue of the Prophet-5. I had the honor of contributing to its development, from long conversations and persistent hassling about voice allocation to the privilege of crafting patches for the final instrument. One of those patches—my take on the true essence of the Prophet-5—became the very first one you hear when you turn it on: patch 111.

To have my work live inside such an iconic synthesizer, and to have shared time and ideas with the man who brought it to life—not once, but multiple times—is something I’ll always carry with deep gratitude. Thank you, Dave, for your friendship, your brilliance, and your contributions to music that ripple out endlessly."

The EV: A New Digital/Acoustic Hybrid Stringed-Instrument Synthesizer

video upload by Brian Lindgren

"The EV is a new digital/acoustic hybrid stringed-instrument synthesizer. The instrument’s FFT convolution algorithms combined with the unique and expressive synthesizer create a gritty and textured realism. Using a novel pitch-tracking technology the instrument achieves both high accuracy and low latency; in this way it overcomes the hurdles that have historically plagued pitch-tracking or ‘MIDI’ stringed-instruments. Most importantly, the EV is reliable, expressive, and enjoyable-to-play. The most unique feature of the EV is its sound. While the pitch-tracking technology allows for a responsive and accurate playing experience (which cannot be overvalued), the FFT convolution unlocks new dimensions of sonic possibility and a uniquely responsive electronic instrument. The parametric customizability of the synthesizers, transfer functions, and FFT engines (not to mention the timbral-responsive nature of the FFT convolution algorithms) allows for a responsive and far-reaching sonic palette. Most synthesizers utilize an interface for pitch input that forces the player to adhere to a ‘Western’ twelve-tone scale system, for example, a keyboard. As the EV is a fretless stringed-instrument, it allows for the creation of synthesized music of any particular tuning system. In this way it suggests the creation of music beyond the Western canon, suggesting myriad musical possibilities."
