SELF PROMOTION / Sébastien Roux - More Songs

« on: April 14, 2013, 07:56:57 am »

More Songs is the fourth solo album by Sébastien Roux, and a sequel to Songs, released on 12k !

It consists in three electroacoustic compositions which use an ensemble of acoustic instruments (strings, clarinet, horn, percussion, flute) recordings as source material. It starts with the short Créancier de secondes, a musique concrète rereading of the eponymous work by French composer Gérard Pesson. For More Songs, Roux asked fellow composer Mathieu Bonilla to transcribe seven fragments of Beethoven's 10th string quartet, which are used as sound content within the piece as well as drawing from their structure to build the piece. Obliques is a revised version of a live piece written for cellist Séverine Ballon.

Hi

I know some of you use Renoise.
Renoise 2.8 RC1 is out.
http://forum.renoise.com/index.php?/topic/34335-%E2%96%BA-renoise-28-rc1-released/

That's a good opportunity to start a Renoise topic, discuss tools, tips & tricks and maybe exchange XNRS.

Cheers

COMPUTER MUSIC / SuperCollider

« on: January 30, 2012, 07:04:26 am »

Hello there

This weekend I gave SuperCollider a try. Installed it on my Windows box and did the first tutorial.
I've only scratched the surface but it seems more logical to me than Max/Msp.
Do you use it for ambient stuff ?

SELF PROMOTION / Minizza - A Rebours

« on: June 02, 2011, 03:29:30 am »

Hello there

Just thought I would share that : my friends and I were invited by French national radio France Culture to make a new piece.
We could stay at the studio two days and it was just like heaven : all kind of instruments (piano, vibraphone, percussions, drums, cello, saxophones), fantastic microphones (two Neumann U87 for the voice, mmmm), SSL console, best technical staff ever, etc.
Here are some photos of the studio sessions :

Would be curious to hear your comments.

There's a new version (4.2b, Windows & Mac OSX) of Cecilia, a GUI for CSound.

I played a bit with the patches included and it sounds good.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial to make your own scripts with this thing ?
