Paul’s Extreme Time Stretch

By JyKang in [EA]ComputerMusic 0 Comment
Got a little time on your hands? How’s about some extreme time-stretching? Here’s a quote:

“The “HyperStretch” mode – may stretch up to 1,000,000,000 times”

Hmmm. Say you start with a 1 second sample. That’s 31 years once stretched. You may want to listen to it with a fairly large mug of coffee near by. Oh, and make sure you have an extra roll or two of toilet paper in the house. You’ll also need a bit of extra storage for that processed file (160,000+ Gb, I figure, at 44.1/16bit/stereo).

Another New Realtime Composition by Art Hunkins

By JyKang in [mp3]ETC 0 Comment
Announcing my latest (from my website):

ADVENIAT REGNUM TUUM (An Advent Meditation) for realtime Csound5 (2008)
All computer platforms. MIDI controller(s) with 16-65 sliders/rotary pots.
Stereo, quad and 8-channel (circular) configuration selectable in all versions.
Duration: 5 minutes (minimum)

Text/instructions file, performance materials – including standalone Lettuce executables, and mp3 available at the top of the composition list at:
http://www.arthunkins.com

Feedback always welcome.

I find myself spending more and more of my time as a sound/instrument designer, and less and less as a “composer.” It seems to me that in electronic/digital media the sounds themselves are an overriding creative responsibility (as well as opportunity).

For this reason, I take partial issue with Mike Gogins who wrote recently that for *realtime* work, MAX/MSP was perhaps more appropriate than Csound. It is certainly true that many more composers are using means other than Csound for this purpose. OTOH, I find Csound nigh indispensable for designing and flexibly working with newly imagined sound.

Of course, actually giving birth to newly imagined sound is an awesome and daunting task. Yes, it’s just plain down and dirty. Indeed it’s overwhelming, and often gives disappointing results. Nonetheless, creating the world is not an easy task. Bigger toolkits mean greater challenges.
