If there was a musical instrument in The Matrix, it would probably look something like the Octopulse.
The Octopulse was created for the Yamaha Musical Instruments Research Lab.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
It shows that noise is music and is the principal musician of »The Alien Noise Orchestra« (work in progress), being the first of 4 different looking toy instrument characters that all produce different sounds.
With this cuddly »alien bagpipe« you can control analogue sound synthesis through unconventional means, transferring movements into information for an analogue synthesizer to convert into cacophonous noises. This unconventional soundscape alters perceptions of what music could be and allows the electronic sounds of a synthesizer to be accessed by anyone.
This video, via Tom Cosm, is the first of a series of three tutorial videos on track construction in Ableton Live.
It’s designed to teach you ways you can approach writing a track, from start to finish. It covers topics such as Sound Design, Building Loops and Section Construction, Arrangements and Progressions, and Mixing.
Explains Cosm:
In this video, I start by writing a loop, made up of pads, playing a chord progression, then percussion, bass and finaly a lead instrument. This loop becomes my first hook. From there I strip it back to create a progression from intro, to a groove, then into the first hook.
Throbbing Gristle’s Chris Carter posed this short demo of a black Gristleism.
The Gristleism is described as a “Throbbing Gristle palm-sized loop playback machine.”
