Osmose Expressive E, Dirtywave M8, and Numa X GT, Live at the Lakely

video upload by John C.S. Keston

"This is the last in a series of live audiovisual collaborations with Chris LeBlanc and Shawna Lee. The performance was captured at at the Lakely in the Oxbow Hotel, Eau Claire, Wisconsin (https://www.theoxbowhotel.com/lakely/) on September 30, 2023.

Chris LeBlanc and Shawna Lee produced live visuals using their integrated, modular video synthesis systems as I performed. This piece titled, Dark at the End of the Tunnel, is an electro-acoustic piano composition. In this adaptation I used a a stage piano, but the processing and accompaniment are as they would be if the piece were performed on an acoustic instrument.

Please take a look at Chris’ (@blindprophet) and Shawna’s (@iamadot) Instagram feeds to see more of their work.

Grainy Day - MaxforLive Audio Device for Ableton Live by AVAL

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Introducing the 'GrainyDay' - an audio effects unit designed to upgrade your sound production!

With its random grain sizes and adjustable delay times, this device offers unmatched creativity.

Choose between random, free sync, or bpm sync settings for delay time, while the user-defined grain envelope lets you seamlessly switch between impulsive and smooth grains.

Dive even deeper into sonic exploration with the four pitchshifters, allowing you to create evolving and distinctive textures by layering different ranges.

And don't forget the incredible reverberation module! With two macros for decay and dry/wet, you can generate expansive clouds of sound that range from gentle ambience to an almost freeze.

The GrainyDay's captivating visual display corresponds to send amount and signal RMS, while its random movement, synced to the tempo, adds an exciting element to your sonic journey.

FKMG - KLIMA ATMOSPHERIC LOGIC MODULE

FKMG - Klima (Environmentally Aware Logic/Rhythm Generator) for Eurorack

"KLIMA is the first of many upcoming experiments that welcomes in the surrounding atmosphere as a fundamental building block for your modular patches. Inspired by traditional logic modules and built around an atmospheric sensor, Klima is a 4HP module that derives random gates by comparing your analog signals to the ambient temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and relative altitude.

How it works: the module takes an incoming signal up to ±5V and passes it through a comparator whose threshold is set by the density potentiometer. This parameter sets the probability that you’ll get a logic high (+5V) at the first output . In addition to giving a relatively predictable output related to the original input, the comparator signal is then compared to four independent binary signals to produce corresponding gates when a logic-AND occurs – that is, when both signals are high at the same time. The frequencies of these signals are determined by the atmospheric values from the sensor and are reset when a high gate is detected at the reset input, giving you a bit more control over the random gates that Kilma produces.

What all this ultimately means, is that as the surrounding environmental conditions change, so does the frequency of each of these binary signals and, therefore, the probability of a high gate output. In other words, the same patch will take on different characteristics depending on where you find yourself.

Klima is great for producing organically flavored randomness and is especially fruitful when it comes to producing polyrhythms and textures. In addition to offering a useful function standard to modular systems, Klima encourages you to pack up a travel rig and hit the road."

FKMG - IDEIN OPTIC GATE GENERATOR

via NOISEBUG

"Following in the same spirit as its predecessor Klima, IDEIN invites yet another aspect of the environment into your patching process. It’s bulging eye not only looks back at you but behind you and around you, surveying you and the space you’re in. It knows if you’re patching in the light of day or in the dark of night, how and where your shadows fall and what’s radiating out from your many screens. The eye of IDEIN is sensitive to colors, those you can see and those you cannot. However, IDEIN is not a passive observer. It lets you know what it sees by spitting out gates and triggers that correspond to all the visual information it takes in.

How it works:

IDEIN is an entirely autonomous module that requires no user-input aside from light. With an All-Light Sensor monitoring levels of the RGB and IR spectrums, IDEIN detects changes in light-color and compares this information to the threshold set by the light sensitivity knobs. When a threshold is passed, a gate is opened, and a corresponding trigger is sent. Simply put, IDEIN is a series of comparators that produce quasi-random gates and triggers based on the color light spectrum of the surrounding environment. The big eye translates light to sonic form. Let your movement, the fluctuations in the color spectrum and the presence of infrared light dictate where you go next. Use it to trigger events based on visual information (e.g., video art projected behind you), dance in front of the eye and see how it responds, or simply let the hitherto unthought and seemingly passive movements of your patching become another active trigger source for musical (and not so musical) events.

Like its sibling Kilma, the atmospheric logic module that precedes it, the idea behind IDEIN is to chip away at the boundary between environment and music-making, as well as to lean into what makes modular synthesis so exciting: randomness, spontaneity and (often) the impossibility of reproducibility. The visual and atmospheric information in which IDEIN and Klima are rooted bring the abstractions of thought back down to earth. It senses where you are and reminds you of that location."
