Made a little js canvas tutorial where you can learn to do some generative doodling step by step. You can go for it with near 0 experience, it's free, with examples that you can reuse and tweak. No lib, no fancy stuff, just pretty patterns. You can find there the code of the last visuals I posted Some Music : VaVa x ROLAND JONES - COLD BLOOD POWER™ 32 - En Pirate
New project pages about making algo art in p5.js : Ellipses Lines Started my first full time job this year, must say the art making has been slowed down quite a bit. Especially on music as it's a core part of my day job. I'm trying to get back on track now that my everyday life is getting together. Some Music : Chloe Scarlett - Please Return TH - Grünt #70
Your browser does not support the audio element. The original image is an engraving of st. Thomas made by Lucas van Leyden . I pixel sorted it at a 45 degree angle with this python script , using a blurred version of itself as a reference for the thresholds (which give those weird mossy blocs under his cape). Command line used : python3 -m pixelsort -i file -f reference.png -a 45 stthomas.png The…
I reworked pruners to put philodendron 's DSP in it. It was not easy fitting everything while keeping it readable and not too ugly, the module ended up quite large, but I like this big beetle look. While I was at it, I rewrote the buffer initialization of hellebore and wilt (that was made really poorly, I actually didn't knew how a class constructor works at the time). VCV Rack NOI library I've…
I released an compilation-album thing with most of the tracks in the 2024 page + new things. It should be available on all platform at some point in the near future. LNDF - HERBIER#2 - BandCamp Link
Released a new plug-in : Philodendron ! Here you can find the download page , if you are curious you can read more info on the development in this project page .

Your browser does not support the audio element. The image comes from comparing a picture with a blurred version of itself. I was mangling with dithering in touch designer, instead of using a noise pattern as the dithering reference, I used smaller version of the image, and at some point, the image itself. The lyrics are the beginning of the song Tea for Two chanté (entre autre) par Doris Day :…

Added articles about tape history and delay line reverberation .
Your browser does not support the audio element. The original texture is a photo of the leaking roof of the parisian underground. The sound is made with Meld, an Ableton synth, and a fragment of sound I recorded on an 1/4" tape about a year ago. (that I recognized later as being a sample of scooter, a Lolo Zouaï song ). Lyrics : La journée s'est déroulée en plusieurs étapes Ils ont commencé par un…
Your browser does not support the audio element. The synth at the beginning is a companion to the orca sequencer I'm developing with rust. Altought not finished, Laminaria code source is here , just cargo run to launch it. The lyrics is an extract from a poem of Goethe. I don't actually speak german, it's probably gibberish for a native speaker. German : Ihr naht euch wieder, schwankende…

Your browser does not support the audio element. I have a fun time rediscovering my launchpad X, the custom layers allow for slider and toggle, It is here mapped on Granular III : A slider on the position A slider on the grain size A toggle on variation (toggle for abrupt changes) A toggle on the record button I used the microphone of my laptop, singing drone note, and a piano sample. There is…
Your browser does not support the audio element. The music is largely inspired by this incredible album by Kali Malone, especially by All life long , a very slow organ piece. I make use of ableton new synth: Meld, and it's MPE capabilities for note-based pan and pitch automation. I then layered an ambience I took with my phone in a waiting line (streched and FFTed). The image is an extruded text…
Made a weird instrumental from an old jazz sample, sprinkled strange text over it : Your browser does not support the audio element. Tried some font displacement, the texture used for displacement is a ramp (100 periods) added to low resolution and high contrast noise (10x10), the font is Brogetta regular The deformation is inspired by This PPPANIK tutorial Made some hydra patches you can find in…
Used Ableton Looper and learned how to turn an image into particles thanks to this video from PPPANIC that I summed in the TouchDesigner Knowledge page . You can download the project here . Surprisingly, exporting a gif and compressing it is not that easy (the image below is 6mb, the grainyness doesn't help though). I'd love to make video clips to post here but it would be way to large for my…
I made a component emulating data-moshing by combining multiple tutorials and adding my own ideas, it's not a very good "data-moshing" effect, but it's a nice effect nonetheless. Tutorials used : Immersive HQ Part 1 Immersive HQ Part 2 Immersive HQ Part 3 Unity Tutorial Easy movement detection (youtube) Download .tox here This is a merge of a sea and a waterfall with it (mind there is added jpeg…
Having a quite effervecent brain these time. Some of it take roots in my current reading : Presets - Digital Shortcuts to Sound by Stefan Goldmann~ A book about composing sounds in those time of digital efficiency, touching on the question of norm and possibility in the creative realm. Anathem by Neal Stephenson which is a good speculative fiction and develop a lot of playful methaphysical ideas.…
The skeuomorphism is often shown as a bad exemple of UX, some people tend to become angry. But what about the inherent underlying concept of interacting with knobs and slider ? Is is a technical skeumorphism ? Much of was as been done is a kind of emulation. might as well go all the way. But the knob seems nonetheless to be a good info/space ratio, in a glance you can have max / min / actual…
