Short Improvisation with my New Setup

YouTube via yakthekyle
"This is an short improvisation using my auto-matrix mixer and my new "event generator." I will be performing with this rig on Tuesday, August 25th at Super Happy Fun Land,
( http://www.superhappyfunland.com/ ) a performance venue in Houston. Doors open at 8pm, please come if you can! I plan on continuing to perform with the rig for a while, or until I add something new to it. The event generator (my newest) is similar to a sampler but with more complexities; it works with multiple types of synthesis (additive, granular, and FM) as well as sampled materials and effects (delays and ring mod). Envelope time is controlled my a turn of a knob making it a very versatile instrument for both quick events or long drones. And like most of my work, algorithms and aleatoric composition are involved to keep things interesting.

I have some stills of my patches uploaded and more info at http://yaktronix.blogspot.com/

Here is a list of who all will be playing at the show:

Synth prototyping cont. (Make #Zero) - Digi synth with analog filter and LFO

YouTube Uploaded by yakthekyle on Jul 20, 2011

"Further progress on a digital synth project that I plan to start producing very soon. The synth will be reprogrammable from any computer and the code can be easily bent or created from scratch. It also has an LFO controlled analog resonant lowpass filter to fatten up the sound (also circuit bendable) . This project will be COMPLETELY open source (schematics, code, everything) once I get everything organized."

"*Note: Internal laptop speakers will not properly reproduce the low frequency sounds utilized in the piece, please uses external speakers.

-This is documentation of a recent audio/visual installation that explores an analogues relationship between sound and image. Sound is generated and modified algorithmically and is visualized through the utilization of the phosphorescent capabilities of antiquated television technology. Each television has been modified to display the electrical signal associated with the sound transforming it into patterns and imagery."

Note: I created a new "Art Installations" label for these types of posts. This is the first. I'll update older posts as/if I have time. As always, if I miss labels in posts, feel free to call them out.

"Electronically Modified Didgeridoo Kyle Evans

I created this instrument to experiment in the combination of the organic sound qualities of a didgeridoo with the advanced signal processing capabilities of modern computer programming and sound synthesis. This custom built didgeridoo features externally mounted modules that allow the performer to process and manipulate the sound of the instrument in real time. All control data is transmitted wirelessly via blue tooth and is controlling several audio processes created in a custom-built software environment. If you have any questions about the instrument please feel free to ask.
