Shorts: #14 Exodus

[play] Shorts: #14 Exodus (2007)

Commissioned and titled by Sean Johnson.

This was created with a MOTM modular synthesizer. The tones were created with three pulse wave oscillators, all of which were pulse wave modulating each other. Their output was fed through a low pass filter and bandpass filter. the output of those filters plus the unfiltered pulse waves were send through a notch filter. My short pieces tend to not have gaps in them nor much dynamic range, so I tried to put both those things into the final mix.

This piece was commissioned via eBay.

Shorts: #13 Contact

[play] Shorts: #13 Contact (2007)

Commissioned and titled by Sean Johnson.

It was created in the BEA 5 lab in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. That lab is a room full of a giant voltage controlled synthesizer. The basis for all the sounds in this piece came from a comparitor. Two triangle waves, one frequency modulated, were fed into a comparitor. This comparitor generated a pulse whenever the traingle waves crossed each other. These pulses form part of the piece, as does some clicking generated by a VOSIM module which was controlled also by the comparitor and the triangle waves themselves. I also mixed in a bit of mixer-generated noise.
