HURRY THE HELL UP

By fc on June 8, 2014 11:52 pm

My first submission written within the final hour before the deadline.
My second submission very much in the "I really just can't be bothered" vein.
Copout.
On the plus side it was my birthday this week. And on the plus side, I still did a track which is pretty interesting. My own string synth thing plus feedback loops plus a microsound amplifier that I designed as part of my research, that is in beta at the moment. All Max 6. Improvised with the onscreen keyboard. In the words of Flickr. Yeehaw!

Apparently I forgot to cut the end off…

Happy birthday! Your expertise in Max is awesome. And I like the results as well -- it would be very interesting if we swapped material and did… stuff... to it.

Thanks. I concur about the swapsies. Want to do that sometime in the next couple of weeks? [email protected] is my email address.

You bet -- anything strike your fancy, or just go for it?  I believe you use Ableton; would you like tracks or separate sound files?

I just was at your website checking out your orchestral pieces --  nice reference to Symphonies of Wind instruments at the beginning of …in Dialogue… and I really like the way it develops. The players are really good as well.

Thanks for the compliments on … In Dialogue …, it was really nice to add percussion to that piece and arrange the other instruments around in response to that.

Would you like to do a collaboration on a piece or a kind of re-mix thing? I'm cool with either. If we did a collaboration thing we could each create a thing, send it to the other and then "re-mix" that thing (perhaps in a similar way to the created thing?). What do you think?

Collaboration sounds good to me, perhaps with each of us doing our own final version?

My wife says, "you know what they do with collaborators, don't you?"

I'll send some stuff tomorrow to start us off.

Yep, perfect. I'll make some stuff in Max and send it to you when you get in touch.

PS. I was listening to your SC for at least half an hour this morning - really nice take on "pop"; thoroughly enjoyable.

mmmm, feedback loops  smile

Minimal time yet you still managed to yield interesting results.  Commendable.

Thanks man. To be fair I'd already written the synth in another patch, so I just copied it over. Same with the microsound thing. The rest was just the feedback loop. smile

See!  Feedback loops ftw!  big_smile

Neat. I've had a stomach ache for a couple of days - but weeks?! Man that sucks.

That was a great movie. I can understand why you would have commemorative fish sticks.

Nice! And a very impressive result relative to the time spent!
Happy birthday!
