  1. 1 of 2 continued

    TLDR: I explain some of the technical aspects and inspirations in my fresh Hypnopomp EP for curious minds.

    I can say it's Flashcore, associated with “Hangar Liquides” label: experimental avant-garde side of #speedcore/hardcore(?). But I don’t want to limit it with genres because there is so much going on with sound design.

    Some tracks are based on my past microsound works that I developed with Max/MSPor other times finding my own grains/particles with DAW editing limitations. The opening track “Pyrocumulus II” is an example for this: harsh DSP kicks built onto a former track I made 10 years ago with a 4-second recording of me making a popcorn. This was in my ambient album CloudScapes where each track’s named after a rare cloud ( @c.reider, there is a track called Lenticularis also!).

    #microsound #curtisroads

    Then the 2nd track involves a hand-made tool that I call “Freakbox”: it generates funnyrectangular waves. With speedcore transients with FM and bitcrushed samples and saturation.

    #saturation #distortion #bitcrushing

    Inspirations include indeed some works from abovementioned La Peste’s label, DIY labels like Cathartic Noize Experience, Ikeda, pioneers like Xenakis and Else Marie Pade, ae's overall catalog but specifically elseq 1-5, and underground dance floors especially with Equinox (Marlon Sterling) running the #scientificwax label: Also inspiring is the way some of these figures approach music, which helps me build and develop my own further.

  9. So today’s lecture was on .microsound (the full stop indicating microsound ‘2.0’ starting from the microsound.org site onwards) and somehow finished with a discussion of ‘authenticity’, the birth of MTV Unplugged and a short documentary of the downfall of Milli Vanilli.
