My M4_U feelings & report

I wrote “my” because I wanted to relate my feelings, my perception of this very great & unique event made in Leicester and at which I have been invite by Sean Carroll.
My M4_U started a bit late, because I was travelling.

Indeed, I caught my flight around 10h50, landing on Gatwick Airport, then took a train to St Pancras Intl, and then another one to Leicester.

Let’s make music only now

The MatriX is waiting for you
I just released my latest sequencer for Ableton Live.
The official post is here

I liked to design it and I’ll be happy to improve it too.
I already had some nice feedbacks and I’m very curious of what you’ll design with it
It is a tool for me, but especially for all of us too!

Let me know if you want me to publish one of your nice sequence!

Now, let’s prepare the 2 shows
I’m now totally finishing to prepare my 2 live performances in UK on next friday & saturday.
I’m happy to fly there to meet Cycling 74 CEO & developers. Those gurus are cool & fun & .. GURUS.
I don’t regret too much to have declined the invitation to speak. My keynote wasn’t finished and I didn’t want to rush things & make a bad lecture.

I can announce here I’ll probably try to make it in french (!) in Marseille and after that, I’ll publish my Keynote slideshows.
The subject is : Max6 & Max for Live as the framework alternative to pure C++ programming

2 lives performance scheduled in UK

I’ll play 2 music live performances very soon in UK in Leicester.
Thanks to Sean and the team to have invited me.
I’m sure we’ll have fun

The NEXT sequencer playing SKANNER

(check the video at the end of this article)

SKANNERis a synthesizer based on scanned synthesis, made by Native Instruments as a REAKTOR‘S ensemble (an ensemble is like a max patch, a bunch of visualized objects connected with cords)

Scanned synthesis involves a slow dynamic system whose frequencies of vibration are below about 15 Hz. The ear cannot hear the low frequencies of the dynamic system. So, to make audible frequencies, the “shape” of the dynamic system, along a closed path, is scanned periodically. The “shape” is converted to a sound wave whose pitch is determined by the speed of the scanning function. Pitch control is completely separate from the dynamic system control. Thus timbre and pitch are independent. This system can be looked upon as a dynamic wave table. The model can be compared to a slowly vibrating string, or a two dimensional surface obeying the wave equation.  (WIKIPEDIA)

I hope you’ll like those ones.
The colors are very strange & uncanny (!)

NO photoshoped at all, pure chemical expired process inside those expired cartridge …
