Both granular synthesis and frequency modulation are well-established synthesis techniques that are very flexible. This paper will investigate different ways of combining the two techniques. It will describe the rules of spectra that emerge when combining, compare it to similar synthesis techniques and suggest some aesthetic perspectives on the matter.
Day 2 - Friday, May/10 20:00 Feedback performance - Concert
Øyvind Brandtsegg » Location: Mumuth
The piece is an improvised performance exploring the resonant characteristics of the
performance space. This is done by using shotgun microphones to precisely pick up sound from specific spots in the room, processing the signal with a slowly reacting feedback reducer algorithm implemented in Csound. The sound from Csound is fed to speakers in the room, creating potential for a traditional audio feedback loop. Feedback is controlled by the software process and the performer moves the microphones to "play" different resonant spots found in the performance space. One could say that the piece is related to the feedback based installations of Agostino di Scipio.
Day 3 - Saturday, May/11 15:10 Experiments with dynamic convolution techniques in live performance - Paper Presentation
(40 min) Øyvind Brandtsegg, Sigurd Saue » Location: Hall i7 (main venue)
This article discusses dynamic convolution techniques motivated by the musical exploration of interprocessing between performers in improvised electroacoustic music. After covering some basic challenges with convolution as live performance tool we present experimental work that enables dynamic updates of impulse responses and parametric control of the convolution process. An audio plugin implemented in the open source software Csound and Cabbage integrates the experimental work in a single convolver.
The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
