One of the things I'm always looking for when building patches or electroacoustic interactions is that sweet spot between surprise and controlāand something I have *really* been enjoying lately is playing with surprising silences.ā
ā
It's a bit funny, because I know that SOUND is typically the primary focus of someone making music...ā
ā
But the way that we come in and out of silence can offer SO much.ā
ā
Are you suddenly dropped into this sound world? Are you launched into silence? Are you gently lowered into it? Are you surprised when the floor suddenly falls from beneath you?ā
ā
So, I've been experimenting and playing with this a lot more in my patch design lately. Not only considering how and when these instruments make sound, but also how and when they STOP making sound.ā
ā
And the results have been surprising, and delightful, and nerdy, and it all makes me quite happy. šā
ā
In this video I'm exploring some vocal processing and sampling using a patch made in MaxMSP.ā
