I’m thinking I need to just make a piece, and I want to make it about the stress of having to make a piece and do everything I need to do before the deadline. the piece will be in puredata. it will have these nodes: NODES

I’ve been thinking about how I can explore time and space with a multichannel setup, I think it allows for a really interesting way to immerse the listener in a 3d space, and I’d like to make the most of this. I’d really like to explore rhythm and time with this piece, particularly fluctuating tempo,…

Generative system plan Use Puredata to make a generative system as some kind of commentary on generative ai, ai hallucinations, ai sentience. Themed around ‘spiritual bliss attractor’ Look at different youtube tutorials on puredata on generative systems and follow them, mesh different patches together incorporating randomness, and an increasing probability to go towards sounds associated…

I’ve been thinking about possibilities I can explore with use of the multi channel speaker setup I have access to in M108, and I think it could be interesting to create a piece exploring focus, time, and space. elements of this could include: somewhat unpredictable syncopated rhythms accompanied accented by movements in the 3d field,…

In this patch I followed a Youtube tutorial on how to make ADSR envelopes in Puredata. the bang sends a signal to a series of sections controlling the amplitude of an oscillator/noise object, first gradually ramping up, then reducing to an amplitude which is sustained briefly, then decreasing gradually until the sound is silent. This…

This is a PureData patch that I worked on to practice the workflow of the software and broadening my understanding of techniques such as FM synthesis. I initially followed a tutorial on the bela.local website for an FM patch, but upon realising that I didn’t have the hardware available to control the input parameters it…
