New Scenes from Japan
We have three new scene available: Atsuke from Frank Barknecht, Minimalist Style from Akihiko Matsumoto, and YA.MA.KA.SA from Yotaro Shuto,
Our very own Frank Barknecht visited Japan in September to spread the reactive music word. He worked on Atsuke while learning Japanese characters. That’s where the name “A Tsu Ke” is from, which means absoluetly nothing in real Japanese. I am not shure how to describe the sound, probably electro trash? Sing with Atsuke. Swing with Atsuke. Whistle with Atsuke.
Minimalist Style from Akihiko Matsumoto alogrithmically generates music based on the analysis of composers such as Bach, Stravinsky, Squarepusher, and many more. Choose your favourite composer by touching one of the squares.
You can also shake the device to move forward in the musical progression, or touch the screen and tilt the device to change the timbre of the synth. The music is generated by a realtime algorithm based on schenkerian analysis. To get some more information on how this scene can be used have a look here. Or check out the video below.
YA.MA.KA.SA from Yotaro Shuto creates a glitchy soundscape out of the microphone input signal. Shake your device to get it even more disturbing.
