Generated Audio Demo

Sep. 2022

Env Sound Board

Max/MSP

This environmental soundboard creates generative ambient piano music and generates real-time visualizations.

The music creation aspect is inspired by Brian Eno's asynchronous loop techniques. By default, this patch plays back ambient piano loops at random start times and repeats them with user-defined timings. There are a total of 8 slots for audio loops. Users could also drag & drop their own loops. The piano loops are taken from an acoustic recording of my piano with post-processing (reverb, compression, and slicing) done in Ableton. 

The visualization is created using the jit.lcd object, which draws random shapes each time a loop is played or repeated. A jit.rota object is used to create a spiral effect on the generated visualization
