The sound is pretty involved, so this week I'm talking about just the glitchy looper part. I will make a part 2 soon, to talk about combining the looper with radio noises.
Some glitchy bass growls from a piece I'm working on!
Imported some non-audio data into Audacity > time stretched it with a phase vocoder > chopped it at the transients > used the Max/MSP "MuBu" tools for concatenative synthesis.
I finally have an RSS feed for my blog! I was initially trying to figure out a way to automatically generate it based on my posts, but I found it was actually quite easy to type it out by hand.
Spectral Compressor. It's incredible that FOSS audio production tools are at a level where top EDM producers make videos about them. Props to au5 for acknowledging that it's not just free, but also open-source.
Here's the latest post from my blog! I discuss making "composite" sounds using FFT spectra for part of a current composition project.
My site is all hand-written, but I found that drafting as Markdown in my Joplin notebook, and then converting to HTML in the terminal makes me much more inspired to write.
The [fftz.ether~] object is comparing two sounds bin-by-bin and picking the bin that's quieter. One sound is microtonal (20-EDO) synth chords, and the other is a bunch of chopped snips of a noisy, lofi piano loop.
I also have snippets of FM radio static frequency-modulating the resulting sound, which I find sounds convincingly like the sounds are on a radio.
