Hey there! Welcome to my channel where I share my original music (sometimes under the name Real Human). I also post tutorials for software I develop in Ableton Live and Max/MSP. Join me as I explore music production and software development, drawing inspiration from contemporary jazz, rock, pop, ambient, glitch, IDM, and EDM. Dive into my creative journey with me!

Glitch Melancholia: The Peter Nelson Ensemble Meets Vaetxh
This composition was written for the Peter Nelson Ensemble with the aim of making glitch music more accessible. The concept involved blending glitch elements with traditional, melancholic harmonies and melodies, as well as acoustic instruments. The composition features samples from one of my favourite glitch musicians, Vaetxh (Rob Clouth).

MIDI Guitar Setup - Ableton and Max for Live
Переглядів 933 роки тому
MIDI guitar was used in combination with a variety of software instruments, including synthesizers and samplers, to afford a wider array of sounds and techniques. This setup allows a guitarist to directly perform digital sounds on the note based level, which can be applied in combination with audio effects controlled using the SoftStep and Touchpad Gesture Recorder.

Timestretcher - Max for Live software
Переглядів 1073 роки тому
This device uses a Max/MSP external called vb-stretch~ created by Volker Bolm. The device incorporates two time-stretchers and pitch-shifters that process one loop, thereby creating a tool for temporally and spectrally manipulating material to produce ambient soundscapes. realhuman2.gumroad.com/l/zoqlt?
Freeze Interpolate - Max for Live software
Переглядів 313 роки тому
This was originally a device created by Jean-Francois Charles which I modified to automatically capture and sustain incoming audio whenever it exceeds a certain threshold. This device cannot be extensively customised by users as its purpose is singular, however, it is possible to change the way it reacts to a degree. - Manual or automatic freeze. - Instant transition or interpolation between in...

This device is a looper that brings studio techniques to the stage, to extend the sonic possibilities of acoustic instruments and digital material. The device contains a variety of functions that can be applied as a user sees fit. This includes many features that Live’s inbuilt Looper is not capable of. - Generative and asynchronous capabilities. - Spectral, spatial and temporal processing. - F...
Guitar Wing Receiver - Max for Live software
Переглядів 163 роки тому
This many-to-many mapping device was designed for the Guitar Wing to turn it into a multipurpose controller. Using the four side switches on the Guitar Wing it is possible to switch between different mappings, allowing every pad and slider to be mapped and customised to four parameters that can be controlled individually. It also lets users implement both continuous control and note on/off mess...

Переглядів 213 роки тому
This device allows for the spontaneous alteration of track routings, by turning a track volume down while proportionally and simultaneously turning a chosen send control up. The device can control up to twenty four tracks directly, or utilise a sequencer to automatically change track routings.
TouchPad Gesture Recorder - Max for Live software
Переглядів 383 роки тому
This one-to-many mapping device extends human control over a digital environment in a flexible and expressive manner. It uses the nodes object in Max/MSP, with each node mapped to a parameter, the closer the cursor gets to the center of a node the more that parameter gets turned up. realhuman2.gumroad.com/l/uvzuz?
