Hello list,
In mid-April I had my senior exhibition here at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN (US). Trivia bit - this is Miller's hometown, his father taught math here (hope he doesn't mind me sharing that). The show was called "impuls liminae" and featured 2 installations and 3 pieces for headphones. You can hear the headphone pieces, all sounds made with Pd and arranged in ableton, here:
"cyctast op i" http://art.sewanee.edu/mccoy/celinas/02.mp3 "elea (novean)" http://art.sewanee.edu/mccoy/blogsounds/elea_novaen.mp3http://art.sewanee.edu/blogsounds/elea_novaen.mp3 "xaxado uHz" http://art.sewanee.edu/mccoy/blogsounds/xaxado.mp3 http://art.sewanee.edu/blogsounds/xaxado.mp3
images of the show are here: http://pocketkm.blogspot.com/2007/04/senior-thesis-exhibition.html
excerpt of the main 8-speaker install "yona nuki" is here (though it sounds tiny in stereo... just use your imagination) http://art.sewanee.edu/mccoy/blogsounds/yonanukiexcerpt.mp3
I wanted to say THANK YOU to the list for your excellent help and general good demeanor, it's been almost exactly 1 year since I started learning Pd and I have learned a lot from you all.
Thanks, Kevin
Sorry, wrong links on the 3 (html crap)... here's the right ones

Hello, something I don't really get: why did you have to use ableton for this work?
Texture on xaxado is a typical sort of fire/water mix to my ear. The plastic/wood texture after 1:40 sounds interesting, like a spinning top maybe? I assume it's all synthetic actually. Elea Novean is the more interesting one imho, better dynamics. Better use of bright and metallic noise. Well, I'm no expert on noise but I think I hear elements of Nurse with wound in there or some of the more "organic" tye stuff. Something connecting the textures like a common filter or process with a fair amount of resonance. Like Patco says, I don't see what use Ableton was, except as a way to really subvert Ableton :) If so, well done :) Thanks for sharing your tracks Kevin.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your comments. With regard to methods here, I was making all of these sounds in Pd, writing them as wav files, and then arranging / cutting / pasting in Ableton. The arranging could have probably been done in any software; Ableton was just the easiest in terms of picking from a library of samples and throwing them on a timeline. I wasn't really adding any special effects there, just some EQ in some cases.
elea is one of my favorites, that one is a set of many samples (mostly from a contact mic) vocoded against another sample I had created using Frank's [specdelay~] abstraction. When I figured out how to smooth fft vocoding with [vectral~] it was a huge inspirational "light bulb" - if you vocode several samples against one constant sample and put the results together, they tend to reside in the same frequency zones and come to compliment one another with variations. xaxado uHz was mostly with Derek's particlechamber on some sounds from walking in snow, and cyctast was from this little "skipperflipper" patch I had in January.
I haven't really heard Nurse With Wound before, but I will check it out since you made the reference :)
thanks Kevin
