  1. [SPAM]if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check m-Realizable[/SPAM] If you've ordered a physical copy, please note it's been shipped (I believe you guys have received a notification from Bandcamp). I can't wait for the copies to drop in your mailboxes, I'm super proud of the package. FYI, the USB flash drives contains the 24bit 48kHz files, straight out of the mastering session. I've double checked all the flash drives myself, if you enconter any issue with yours please PM me.
  2. Thank you Sir, glad you like it ! All FM goodness, not a filter involved in the melodic patch (but it definitely sounds very similar indeed). Out of curiosity, I've tried to export the tune several times, without any modification whatsoever... and I'm in awe with the countless variations on the melody I get with each export, some being definitely more pleasant and expressive than others, while a few were getting super abstract. Fascinating stuff really.
  3. I bought a licence when Architect got release (late 2018) but soon after discovered Tidal Cycles and have been live-coding since then. BUT last week, I dusted my licence and started to patch, and I'm blown away by how intuitive it is. I went from the sequencer in the Quick Start guide and modded it to test some generative ideas, and I'm positive I'll build a few sequencers with it for my next slew of tunes. Super promising and inspiring, I'm delighted ! I'll add Colin who develops Architect is incredibly helpful and equally as responsive.
  4. I have their 3 FM chipsynths (bought OPS7 as soon as it got released). They sound absolutely lush.
  5. That’s an amazing compliment, thank you man !!
  6. 100% generative composition, unedited. I'm currently putting Tidal Cycles on stand-by, and I'm investigating what can be done with Architect, by Loomer, which is an astonishingly deep yet intuitive alternative to Max, dedicated to MIDI. This is my first week using it, so I'm beyond excited when imagining all I can do with it. Synths : Hive 2 (kick) and Bazille (synth) into LX-480 (reverb). Quick master with Unisum / Kelvin / TEOTE / Elephant.
  7. By the way, if you grabbed the physical edition and had / have any issue downloading the release, please PM me. It happened to me a couple of times as a buyer, and it’s easy to solve on our end. Besides, I’ll start shipping around Sept. 27th, I still have a thing or two to figure out to make the package as elegant as possible (a labor of love heh). Anyway, thank YOU everyone for your support. I’ll add that we aim to give the biggest share of the revenues we can to the artists, so your purchase directly funds their creation.
  8. Buying the VST version on day 1 for the Audible Instruments and Instruo modules alone.
  9. 100% agreed, my 2 AOTY so far. And wait until you've heard his 3OP005
  10. Smith N Hack is fucking amazing, that EP is stellar (no pun intended).

    3OP

    3OP001 is out and it's a very special one to us. I / we hope you'll love what you hear.
  12. I bet it looks amazing. Aï's designs are insanely cool.
  13. Core Alter is Steve Baxter and Elliott Watson. m-Realizable was made swapping sysex files back and forth between Brisbane, Australia, and San Diego, USA, mastered from the raw edits of its creative sessions. m-Realizable is sonically equally spacious and dense, disruptive and meditative, fiercely digital and organic all at once. Opaque yet open-ended in its unfolding narrative and how you’ll distill the music. Rather than hyping each tune, we urge you to dive in, and to absorb it fully. You might pick a few possible influences while listening to m-Realizable, yet I’m positive you’ll quickly realize how personal, honest, deep and singular this 7 tracker is. As a related note, this is the perfect release to kickstart 3OP : the label almost created itself before our eyes (Elliott’s, Steve’s and mine), and it was a spontaneous yet obvious decision to release a Core Alter opus first. Asking Andrew Bates to handle visuals was our next move as a collective. I’m delighted I get to master our catalogue. Dream team work at play. -Nil This release is dedicated to the memory of our friend Salvatorin (Philip Josef Glowa). Written and Performed by Steve Baxter and Elliott Watson Mastered by Nil Hartman Artwork by Andrew Bates Limited archive edition, 20 copies : Preview / Megamix :
  14. What a stellar album Computer Series is !
  15. I've had these videso bookmarked somewhere for a while, great content.
  16. Same. Lush package I must say. I’ve yet to listen to the whole album, though considering how brilliant Beating the Odds and his upcoming 3OP release are, I can already say : Computer Series, AOTY.
  17. https://ooh-sounds.bandcamp.com/album/synalegg-computer-series ► French experimentalist Synalegg launches his austere yet sparkling Computer Series, flirting with the control and aesthetics of randomness. Synalegg´s notes about ComputerSeries; Computer Series is a musical and graphic project performed by a computer in an algorithmic environment designed by a human being. Above all, it’s an experiment that shifts the role of the artist to that of an “aesthetician responsible for his algorithm” (A. Moles). Initially, the work begins with a long phase of development involving many decisions to determine a suf ciently complete and autonomous modular system. The performance is then fully entrusted to the computer which, through its exceptional capacity to generate multiples, is able to combine and permute the data as desired. And potentially reveal some singular combinations that the system’s creator would not have considered? Perhaps also clumsiness or oddities. Here is a selection of these computer proposals pulled from several captures and grouped together as 10 tracks/10 visuals with no subsequent modi cations (except for editing and mastering). Each track comes from a combination of sequences, sound engines, sound processing and mixing determined by the computer. This same process was then adapted to generate graphic abstractions using data structures and combining primitive shapes, colors, sizes, layers... Music and visuals generated from a Pure Data patch designed by Synalegg Packaging design by Aï Synalegg’s one of the most talented producer around, period. Absolutely stellar and beyond !
