Guitar Sounscapes with Ebow & csGrain
More info on the video below:
A brief collection of 3 improvised soundscapes and patches on CSGrain for iPad with my guitar and an Ebow. Don’t expect superb playing skills as the guitar is not my main instrument. Also sorry for the ground noise and artifacts, this was recorded on the fly. The audio chain is: guitar to Lexicon Omega to iPad, then processed by csGrain and the audio output goes back to the Omega and this to Sonar on the PC thru the EMU 1820m.
I’ve included the camcorder mic sound on the last patch (from minute 5:03 to 6:30 ) because I loved the sound generated by the collision of strings with the ebow while vibrating and found it fitting pretty well with the soundscape. I hope you like it.

Forss – Ecclesia App Preview: Church-Inspired Electronic Music
Ecclesia App coming 2nd of May.
See more at http://forssmusic.com
Swedish-born artist and technologist Eric Wahlforss has been busy. His album is an app, appropriately for someone who is the co-founder and CTO of SoundCloud. Recordings of strings, choirs, organs and ambient noise from church concerts which have been cut up into fragments and rearranged into a new mosaic of music, and recordings of wooden, stone and metal objects which make up the beats and percussion. These are the plosive, rhythmical noises that provide the link between the traditional to modern electronica.
The live show premieres May 2 in Berlin at Berghain/Panorama Bar, with the app out the same day. The album itself releases on June 12.

For the curious:
* Circles grow at a constant rate.
* No two circle can overlap.
* Bigger circle pushes and shrinks smaller circle when in contact.
* A circle “pops” and makes a sound when its boundary intersects with the center of another circle.
* The pitch of the sound is determined by the position of the circle on the background. Bigger the hole, higher the pitch.
* The envelope of the produced sound is determined by a number of parameters including final circle size and time of interaction between two involved circles.
If you like Circuli, you may also want to see Otomata if you haven’t already:
