1.Session with Dennis de Bel

Meergranen1
Meergranen module - all required parts
Meergranen2
Meergranen module - all parts
soldered together
Meergranen3
Meergranen module with custom
lasercut frontpanel



  • Intro into modular synthesis: (exists in both, analogue and digital form)
    Several modules, that are not hardwired totgether.
    Each module does (not allways) one task only - but does that very good.
    In-, outputs allow to interface several modules.
  • Soldering / testing of the "Meergranen" module
  • Flashing different presets with onto the Arduino
  • Designing and lasercutting the first custom frontpanel



Custom sample selection (to be continued):



2.Session with Olli Aarni at De Player

WorkshopOlli1
Dennis playing around with
a modular synthesizer setup
WorkshopOlli2
Modular synthesizer setup
Kantele
Begena



  • Listening sessions with the purpose of learning how to talk about sound
  • Hunting interesting sounds and writing a description of them
  • Inventing a new word to describe the sound: "knüsprichtlic" (engl.: "crunchdenseyficial")
  • learning musical vocabulary (pitch, frequency, timbre, overtone, metrics,...)
  • Exercise: sorting given abstract soundfiles into categories and naming them


WorkshopOlli4
Pile of objects that we brought
to the workshop to make music with
WorkshopOlli5
My improvised "instrument" and
notation for a performance
WorkshopOlli7
Recording of performances




  • Everybody brings in 3-4 random objects that one can make sound with
  • Choose objects and experiment with making:
    • ..the most quite sound possible
    • ..the longest sound possible
    • ..shortest sound possible
    • ..a sound that involves a change in pitch
    • ..a sound that involves a change in timbre
  • Choose objects and create sounds that match the categories created yesterday
  • Create a composition / performance and write down notation
  • Perform while being recorded
  • Jam in groups while being recorded
  • Talking about language (Phoneme, toneme, chroneme -> see interesting links)
  • Speech to song instrument: recording speech - looping a part of it and listening to the melody
  • Add recording from earlier and make a quick song
  • Course feedback

3.Session with Dennis de Bel


  • Talking about possibilities and limitations of Arduino
  • Introduction to Arduino coding
  • Playing around with the Meergranen
  • Connecting several Meergranen modules and modulating them with oneanother


Session3
Several Meergranen
modules connected

4.Session with Dennis de Bel


  • Recap on how to use the Git (with Aymeric)
  • Synthesis Basics (additive synth., substractive synth., FM synth., granular synth., wavetable synth., ...)
  • Making a simple Kick with Arduino
  • Going to meet again on Fr, 11.10 to deepen understanding of Arduino code and check the modules (see pad xpub1temp2)

Kick on osciloscope



Independent Development 1


  • Developing and building a simple external trigger using a staple remover, 2 AA bateries, some cables, insulating tape, metal wire (paperclip) and a lightbulb to check battery level
  • Properly insulate one side of the staple remover and wrap the metal wire around it (must not touch the metal)
  • When closing the staple remover the wire must touch the other side of it (to closer the circuite and act as a switch)
  • Cut a patchcable in half and seperate the inner and outer cables from another
  • Connect wires to the batteries/patchcable/staple remover/(lightbulb is optional) as shown in the drawing

5.Session with Olli Aarni at De Player



  • Feedback on the state of the process / work done so far
  • Collecting concept ideas (unstructured):
    • Need to let go, try out, find common ground
    • Transparency / de-blackboxing
    • Accessibility
    • Haptic gestural input
    • Deeper meaning: What do we want to say?
    • Visual output
    • Visualize sound
    • Analog / unconventional input triggers
    • Visualize the process / concept
    • Cultural signals / speech
    • Embrace frustration
    • Keep public in mind
  • Collecting ideas for the publication (manual)
    • A map as an interface
    • Let the user choose the way to go (soundwise)

Helpful/interesting links


  • Feedback on the state of the process / work done so far
