Field Recording

This page is a record of some of the field recordings I've created. So far they are all created with a Zoom H4 and homemade contact mics and hydrophones. The sounds are only processed to remove noise introduced by the recording equipment, and occasionally EQ'd to bring out certain noises.

Simple Max for Live Granulator

Granulator InterfaceGranulator Interface

This is a simple granulator for Max for Live. It's very much inspired by Robert Henke's excellent granulator. In particular, the extra audio unit for grabbing source material. I've used the GMEM GMU granulator as the basis, as a relatively modern and fast granulation external.

To use it, you'll need Live 8.2.x, Max and Max for Live.

Musical Act Experiment

These are some recordings from the experiments carried out on the musical agent system. Human participants were asked to play excerpts from Canto Ostinato (Simeon ten Holt) with an unseen partner. This partner was either

  • another human (PvP)
  • a recording of another human (Recording)
  • a completely straight rendering of the notes (Straight)
  • the system copying the expressive attributes of the player exactly (Mirror)
  • the system trying to be clever about relating its output to the human (Reason)

NOTE: these recordings aren't supposed to sound *good*, they are experimental data.

TR-I/O-FON

Triophon at dialoguesTriophon at dialogues TR-I/O-FON is Owen Green (GungWho), Jules Rawlinson (pixelmechanic) and Dave Murray-Rust (mo-seph). We make improvised laptop music.

The Other Place

A collection of tracks from the last few years. Sparkling, wiggling, crunchy time signatures and dirty basses.

Growth and Form

This is the second full mo-seph album, spanning about two years from start to finish. It's one continuous piece of music, sliding from one imaginary landscape to another.

mo-seph

mo-seph is my solo project, producing three albums worth of music over several years.
