Monthly Theme: Audio Programming

This month at Designing Sound, we are focusing our lens on the concept of Audio Programming. The above image is from David Padilla's (AKA dabit) Banjo (here is the github link), which is a MIDI looper for live performance. He is a professional programmer (and an audio hobbyist) who's work producing music within a programming language is quite impressive and academically … [Read more...]

What My Deaf Cat Taught Me About Sound

What My Deaf Cat Taught Me About Sound

Guest Contribution by April Tucker Meet Yuki, one of my cats. She’s a tiny, feisty 6-year-old tabby. Earlier this year, we learned that Yuki had gone deaf after having normal hearing most of her life. She probably lost her hearing gradually, but it wasn’t obvious until one day when I was vacuuming and realized she was right by me, happily curled up and sound asleep. There’s a … [Read more...]

Monthly Theme: Restriction

What do you think of when you hear (or read) the word restriction?  Unfortunately, the word restriction often carries with it a negative connotation. Though within the creative process, restrictions can be quite beneficial, and sometimes inspiring.

The Month of Favorites

The Month of Favorites

What is your favorite... sound design project? synthesizer? resource? application? story? piece of gear? technique? This month's theme is, to say the least, open to interpretation. I am sure you know that feeling. The one you get when you come across something that is just too good to keep to yourself and you feel the need to share it with any colleague that will listen. … [Read more...]

Pure Data Destruction

Pure Data Destruction

Guest Post by Leonard J. Paul Introduction To fit in with May's theme of “destruction” at DesigningSound.org, I wanted to create a patch that demonstrated how Pd (Pure Data) could be used to create interesting sounds of “digital destruction” with a fairly minimal amount of implementation.
