The Sound Design Showcase

I figured it might be cool to have a thread where we can post our sound designs or performances we've done that don't quite fit the bill for a 'song' / track. For example, playing with modular synths, hooking a guitar up to a crazy pedalboard, circuit bending, or experimenting with field recordings -- pretty much anything you've made that you think is cool, even if it's not a full song - and I'd love to hear what you're working on!

(Also, if this gets into SDR or microcontroller territory -- even better!)

Today, I finished this livecoding script I've been working on that sits inside of VFX Script, which is a device inside of Patcher, which is a subdivision of FL Studio. I'm pretty happy with the crazy rhythms and melodies I can generate with this thing on the fly! I had a few false-starts and had to erase everything I did a few times, but after about 3 days of really working out the logic I wanted in Python, it actually works like I had hoped. Pretty fun to play with, too!

This one is a little more difficult to explain like a normal person, but it's a sort of combination between livecoding and modular synthesis where I'm feeding the synthesizer input signals (mostly clocks in this example, to the tune of a MIDI CC control) created with Ruby code in an environment called Sonic Pi. While it seems very complicated on first glance, it's pretty simple, but it also leads to some really interesting and intersecting ideas!
