Friends: on Thursday, October 16, at Judson Church in New York City, I'll be performing the premiere of my EMF-commissioned piece "Threshold", for electric guitar and Kyma, as part of Ear To The Earth 2008 New York Soundscape festival. Here are the details, and an excerpt: http://www.emfproductions.org/upcoming/commissions1_2l.html More about New York Soundscape: http://www.emfproductions.org/upcoming/overview.html "Threshold" creates its soundscape through a process called Cross-Filtering, which runs on the Kyma system. In Cross-Filtering, the tonal characteristics of one sound, called the impulse response, are imposed on another, called the source, so that the end result is a sound that contains only the characteristics common to both. In this case, ambiences recorded in and around New York provide the source, and my guitar playing provides the impulse response. You hear neither directly, but only the result of the interaction between the two. Recording sources and locations: street traffic during a cab ride from 53rd Street to 89th Street Those interested may download my original ambient sound source mix here, to do with as you wish: Thanks, and I hope to see you there.

Hi Richard I am always amazed as I never thought one would be able to get these rich of sounds out of the cross filter. I see you are using a the NY sounds as the live input, does this mean that you are live re-triggering the response for your guitar? Pete IP: Logged |

Yes, exactly. I play the guitar into a long delay with a volume pedal and additional processing, so it builds up long swells of polytonal chords over time. I have a Capture trigger set up in the interface, and as I add additional tones to the live guitar part, I manually re-trigger the Capture response, at roughly 15 to 30 second intervals, to generate new tonalities from the Source file. When I hear a result I particularly like, I usually let it go for a while to see what happens. There's a certain amount of randomness to the performance, because I don't directly monitor the live input, so it's quite different every time. I want to thank you again for the Cross-Filter, Pete - it's one of my favorite Kyma functions. IP: Logged |
