ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCTION

Writing music is something I have been doing for a very long time. This is an endless craft allowing me to be nerdy and creative. A great way to relax and mediate through sound. The aim is to enjoy the process and releasing some of the material when it feels right. The first few years were spent mainly experimenting with the art of mixing. Lately it's been more about analogue equipment and the fun part of jamming and creating workflows.

STUDIO RECORDING

Live recording musicians in a studio is a necessary practice to develop the creative engineering and session planning skill needed to produce a mix while bouncing back within a team dynamic. This is all about keeping the buzz going and getting the best possible performance from the band. This requires to be fast and effective  at all time, but preparation and smart scheduling is key.

EXPERIMENTAL SOUND - SONIFICATION

This is an experimental approach towards the world of sonification. This process requires to map datas to elements of sound. Achieving this will draw a representation as a "musical phases", exposing activities within a structured combination of synthesis modulation. The successful conversion depend on a meticulous scaling process versus aesthetic manipulation of sound.

Pitch, timbre, loudness, depth, and rhythm will  be manipulated and analysed to determine the ideal scaling factor.

Data used: Hourly Nike fuel / Daily calories / Daily miles / Daily steps / Daily count of active time (hr) /

 Daily Fuel score / Daily Average Nike Fuel-hour / Most Active hour

STRUCTURE

Sharing music experiences is something I discovered as a teenager. I was lucky enough to grow up in the late 90s when the art of turntabllism and electronic music was new and exciting. Performing to a crowd is a challenging and unique way to express oneself, while bringing joy and relief to people's life. But the best part has to be about the sense of community, opportunities and life long friendships forming as a result.
