Having recorded various performances of my own patch on the Moog matriarch, I would like to capture some water like recordings as I feel it would share an aesthetic with the sounds I fashioned previously in the studio. I think taking the Zoom H5 and making some field recordings would be a good way to…

Having been interested in the Moog matriarch for a long time, I decided to book some studio time to delve into some of the possibilities that semi-modular patching can offer. I have a little experience in using semi-modular synths like the Moog grandmother and eurorack cases but never owned or sat with instruments like this…

Having dabbled with MIDI mapping in the past, it felt good to refresh my mind on the subject in the context of a different DAW(ableton). I quickly felt this exercise didn’t serve my creative taste personally however as I have become so used to live synthesis/effect manipulation in real-time through my recordings and working as…

After the lecture with Gareth regarding spatial sound and immersive media, I realised that non-stereo or mono systems are so niche that it is potentially an unnecessary effort that could be very costly. Surround sound systems make sense in the context of cinema audio, but to have albums release to non streamable/downloadable formats just wouldn’t…

Today’s lecture from Gareth was informative. Although I knew quite a bit of all the information presented in today’s class, it was good refresh myself on the basics of the topic. I mainly work with East Coast subtractive synthesisers, and even though I was aware of additive and FM synthesis it was good to delve…

Having read through Thomas Porcello’s paper, I have once again questioned using fragments of other’s music or sonic works in my own. I started creating musically in the genre of hip hop over 10 years ago and later discovered sampling technologies. That changed the whole nature of my composition practice and I never looked back…

The 1st lecture from Gareth was much different from Ingrid’s style and very interesting. His presentation style was much more direct and asked us questions with answers he knew rather than what we thought or felt about certain topics or compositions. Anyway… I felt as though we were going over a few things we had briefly…

La Gomera’s Silbo is so extensively covered by so many great researchers that I struggled greatly to condense all the writings into such a short essay. I found many videos, papers and articles about Silbo also pointing to other whistling languages that I found very interesting in comparison. I’ll link to some of the videos…

Much of the phonetic and phonological research that developed our understanding of the languages sonic qualities owe gratitude to André Classe, Ramón Trujillo and more contemporarily Annie Rialland who, deducted past publications, and conducted herself, spectrographic studies into syllabic translations of Castilian Spanish to Silbo. Her paper Phonological and phonetic aspects of whistled languages* is…
