ambient synthesis from Amanda Ghassaei on Vimeo.

"Ambient synthesis is a sound sculpture that responds to light stimuli to construct a unique audiovisual interpretation of its environment. Light sensors in the device pick up changes in its surroundings (the scenes from this video demonstrate the piece responding to sunsets and sunrises). This data is interpreted by a MaxMSP application to produce abstract symmetrical patterns and a slowly evolving synthetic drone. The inspiration from the piece comes from the idea that simple sounds can be mixed together to create more complex sounds, an idea called 'additive synthesis.' In this piece, each pixel represents one frequency of a harmonic series. When a pixel becomes active, its respective frequency is incorporated into the mix to create a gradually evolving soundscape that, over time, produces a wide range of timbres and textures.

this project was inspired by a monome project I've been working on for a while, I've made the MaxMSP patch available for monome 256/128/64 here: docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=app:inkblot"

Hollow Sun SAMPLETEKK 'INIL CHOIR'

via Steve Howell of Hollow Sun on
The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"We're very chuffed to announce that we've had a little hand in this unique library.... the vocal washes from 10cc's 'I'm not in love'...

Our friends at SampleTekk managed to secure the rights from 10cc's Eric Stewart to make the astonishing vocal washes of their seminal hit record, a production masterpiece, "I'm not in love", available as a sample library and SampleTekk honoured us by asking HS to put together a Kontakt GUI for the project.

Not just an honour but enormously exciting because, as far as I am concerned, 'INIL' is one of the best records ever made.

The band spent three weeks recording hours of 'aaaahs' of individual notes onto 16 track, creating big stacks of vocals which were then mixed down to countless stereo reel-to-reels which were then bounced back to to the 16 track and some tracks further bounced down within the 16-track leaving a few tracks let for the Rhodes, Eric's vocal, some bass (from co-writer Graham Gouldman), a (synthesised) kick drum (done on MiniMoog) from Kevin Godley plus some grand piano and, of course, the 'Big boys don't cry' from 10cc's studio secretary. And then the band 'played' their Helios mixing desk, fading and punching in and out this astonishing wash of vocal textures. A leviathan achievement and quite frankly, it was quite eerie to have in our possession the raw recordings from such a classic record.
