glitch / image mashup in Max for Live

glitch / image mashup in Max for Live from AntonAudio on Vimeo.

"I designed and implemented the Interface SFX for Skate2 and created this clip showcasing some of the design elements used. The direction for the games audio interface design was very lofi, noizy, dirty, scratchy, distorted to match the 'do it yourself' visual style. Some of the samples have been mashed and processed into this electronic/glitch track.

I didn't have any video capture as in my other demo so I decided I would make a MaxForLive patch that did some clever image mashing and sequencing using audio input, timeline and tempo information from Ableton. The images were mostly image search results for Skate2.

There is a little more information about the process on my website:

Pd~OSC 8bit touch sequencer control

Pd~OSC 8bit touch sequencer control from AntonAudio on Vimeo.

audio comes in after the :30 mark
"The user can adjust the 16 step pitch and volume sequences which is reflected in the one pianoroll object in Pd. There is a randomize button for the pitch and volume sequence. Each step is highlighted with a green dot on the interface 16 step timeline. The sequence can be played forwards and backwards with adjustable tempo and transposition. The wavetable has 8 presets, a randomize function and can be drawn in, which is reflected in the wavetable window in Pd. The envelope also has 8 presets, a randomize function and can be drawn in, it is also reflected in the envelope window in Pd. There is also 5 effects: delay, distortion, wah, trails and pulse width modulation. And of course a transport section complete with pan, volume, mute, momentary mute, play forwards, play backwards, and stop.
This was more an exercise of implementing control than anything else, it actually doesn’t sound the greatest as it is still just an 8bit sequencer but it has a nice chiptunesque retro quality. I actually like the juxtaposition of the old sound with the new control technology.
Audio in the video does not start until 00:34

XBox 360 OSC Controller

XBox 360 OSC Controller from AntonAudio on Vimeo.

"I have wanted to do something creative with a game controller ever since I first discovered the [human interface] object in Max. And as soon as the new Nodes object was released I thought a great implementation would be to use it with some sort of joystick.

I’m using MaxMSP to receive all the control data from an XBox 360 controller and converting it to OSC messages to be used with any program that accepts OSC, in this case Reaktor. I’ve made each message range scalable as well, for fine tuning control possibilities.

I added 9 nodes for each joystick which gave me 11 control parameters (including XY) for each joystick! It was a little unpredictable to know what kinds of results that would achieve but that was the fun part :)
I pretty much randomly assigned all the controls to this ring modulating synth and buffer effect Buffeater. Fun times."

Buchla 296e Inspired - on Symbolic Sound's Kyma

Buchla 296e Inspired from bar|none on Vimeo.

"Buchla 296e inspired patch written in KYMA.

Here's the real deal vimeo.com/17214189

I posted on the Kyma forum wondering if Kyma could simulate this and some members stepped up, particularly "Keph" (aka Ben) who created and fine-tuned this patch written in Kyma as a simulation of what the Buchla module is doing. He kinda went crazy and added all sorts of additional controls.

This is essentially 2x16 band modal filters that are animated across a stereo A/B buss. Independent animation of frequency amplitude and bandwidth (q) of each band.

This is one drum loop through this filter dry, no other effects."

"Old traditions meet new traditions: Justin from the Carolina Chocolate Drops treated Moog to an impromptu performance when he met the Taurus 3 Bass pedals backstage before their show in Asheville, NC last night. The duo of violin & Taurus 3 was moving and hopefully more artists will explore using synths like this. Thanks, Justin!"

Blue_Kenny.AVI - Kenny's Death Pedal

YouTube via KennysDeathFX | December 10, 2010 |

"I did one blue Kenny. Just a beat, turning some knobs and recording with my photo camera. At about 1 minute you can hear quite good what the 2 egg crusher pots can do (hack the sound like a kind of gate depending on the input level)."

Solvent slow acid improv (Video remix)

"This is a "video remix" of the first gear demonstration type video that I posted about a year ago: [posted here]

The remix was done by YouTube user 'roadkillcopulator', with whom I'm also collaborating on a new Solvent music video. Be sure to check out his channel - some amazing stuff - I highly recommend his videos "ninevoltbattery", "aelita's drone" and "nothing":
