  • Film Sound

    score–music diegetic–in he world (voice, foley, location sound) non-diegetic–not in the world(sound effects)

  • Dialogue Sampling

    During the creative process, I sampled a dialogue from the film Memory by Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul. It’s a piece about “the sound that only I can hear”: the heroine is repeatedly disturbed by a strange sound, and the doctor calmly tells her that many people in the city suffer from “delusions of grandeur”. The…

  • Live Coding

    I was introduced to strudel during a live coding workshop, and I think it’s a very interesting experiment to hear the effects immediately and make adjustments while writing code. strudel’s syntax is designed to be easy to understand, and it’s perfect for live performance.And I created a short clip. notes: $:sound(“sth.”) n:Indicate pitch (numbered by…

  • Modular Synth

    This week I focused on my study of the modular synthesiser, I experimented with various wiring connections to create sound pieces.In one of the attempts a rain soundscape was created, accompanied by birdsong and raindrops hitting a rubber shed Below are the study notes. VCO Oscillator – generates sound VCF Filter – shapes the tone…

  • Notes

    mono–monophonic one sound stereo–uses two audio channels: the left and the right 5.1 Front Left (FL) Front Right (FR) Center Channel (CNT) two surround channels (Surround Left – SL and Surround Right – SR)  low-frequency effects (LFE) channel designed for a subwoofer 7.1 FL FR CNT SL SR LFE plus two rear surround channels (SBL and SBR) 12.1 FL FR CNT LFE SL SR rear…

  • Analog

    I’m trying to use analogue to sculpt the various tones in strange things.I think it’s a time consuming process because I need to figure out each parameter one by one without having a good grasp of how the waveforms are modulated into the various tones.In the process, I learnt not only about the control of…

  • Synthesizer Attempt

    In class, I tried several synthesizers. Among them, three left a deep impression on me: Korg Minilogue, ARP Odyssey, and Moog Matriarch. Here are some of my experiences using them:

  • Ethical issues brought about by sampling techniques

    Digital samplers can transform sounds into codes that can be replicated infinitely. Thomas Porcello points out in “The Ethics of Digital Audio Sampling” that although this technology has brought convenience, it has also raised many issues regarding copyright and creative ethics. For instance, in the 1980s, Jan Hammer sampled the performance of percussionist David Johnson,…
