Automated Mysterious Instrument

fernI came across this set while browsing through my Ableton Live documents. Glitches and clicks slowly melt into metallic tones, back to glitches, and finally auto filtered before fading out. I could not find this experiment from last October posted on ACB, so it must have fallen through the cracks.

Acoustic Modem Glitch

Here’s another glitch created with the GMS running at an unreasonably high tempo. This time it sounds a bit like the racket that comes from an acoustic modem as it makes a connection. Remember those things that people used to use to log on to the internets?

Sixty Fourth Notes from Twenty BPM to One Thousand and Back

I’ve already posted a few glitchy sounds created by the GMS in it’s various states of development. Most of them created by some bug, which I love. Serendipity never looses its charm for me. This sound is more deliberate and illustrates how sixty fourth notes sound played on a basic piano sample from twenty beats per minute all the up to nine-hundred and ninety-nine BPM. I’m not sure how accurately the GMS is reproducing these durations at tempos greater than five-hundred beats per minutes, but it sounds pretty wicked anyway.
