The Protoclidean Sequencer for Ableton Live

MATTER  live act merges sounds & visuals textures into a dense continuum.

MATTER's sound is based only on modular synthesizers system driven by Julien Bayle
6 channels are feeding a Max7 patch providing deep level of ambisonic spatialization based on HOA library.  

MATTER's visuals system is based on a database of subtle footages made using macrophotography and other tricks by Sebastian Sarti. Another Max7 patch provides a way to play videos in any orders, looping them with custom specific loop points on the fly, reverse direction, changing playing rate and flipping orientation too.

MATTER provides a whole system for improvisation with high degrees of freedom for both artists. Indeed, the Max7's visuals patch is linked to the modular system itself using Expert Sleepers' ES8 eurorack module. Each system are sharing data and synchronization on the fly during the performance and influences each other.

MATTER

It basically uses click~, custom panning system and a global layer made of oscillators.

The Granulizator for Ableton Live

inner noises are loud, reverberating and dark. it is made exclusively with a  modular system

this 3-tracks ep is delivered with 1 HD video figuring generative visuals reacting to the sound of the track inner01, and using algorithms specifically designed.

a simple but specific sound analysis occurs, extracting some sound descriptors and using them as inputs for a specifically designed visual system.

All sound analysis, visualizations are made using Max6 & Gen.

8 oscillators with each a frequency modulator, an amplitude modulator and a low quality delay line.

Sometimes, on a random basis, some global parameters ramping and change.

Sometimes, the system change complety randomly all parameters of all oscillators.

When tweets containing a specific meaning of information (#blpmc) are captured over Internet, from anywhere in the world, disrupt!on reacts. the impact can be long and make it evolving smoothly and progressively but can be very brutal and disruptive too. the system owns its own rules and rules evolve over time so usually, same causes don't produce the same effect.

2 video projectors display the visuals that are a real-time sound interpretation. each of 8 oscillators drive a point coordinates (x,y) and then, 4 structures are drawn on the screen at the same time. 

Sometimes, the 4 different structures appears placed horizontally on the screen. sometimes they are superposed 2 by 2, and we can see only 2 greater structures. at last, 1 big structure composed by the 4 initial ones takes place as a rectangle in the middle of the place composed by the 2 screen. there is an empty area between the two display areas on the wall so in the latest case, the rectangle is cut and we miss a part of the visuals, evoking again the lost of meaning and the frustration of humans in front of an unpredictable system that they want to control.
