Will Klingenmeier & Tim Dickson Jr. // the emptiness of all things
‘abstractions from underground’ is Will Klingenmeier reimagining the minimalist compositions of Tim Dickson Jr. All tracks were processed live, in real-time and recorded in one take using Symbolic Sound Kyma 7. Further, Tim Dickson Jr.’s original pieces are fully intact as no editing occurred, only various methods of shukhurchi were used.

A #shorts version of a Kyma Multigrid sound effects performance. This video features the colorful dots that appear when my fingers touch my iPad.
The full version of this video: https://youtu.be/x57al31yQGk
Among the many things Kyma excels at is algorithmic sound generation. Here I built a Kyma Sound in the Multigrid which takes individual folders of samples, indeterminately grabs a sample when the iPad is touched, then does arithmetic on that particular sample, and makes it expressive based on my performance using the iPad. This can happen up to 10 times simultaneously (for each of my fingers) on each track in the Multigrid which uses its own bank of samples. The possibilities are astronomical while still being focussed enough to be useful, and that's before my more nuanced performance on the iPad. Oh, and all of this is happening live, in real-time.
Any specific questions just ask!

A lo-fi, noisy Eurorack patch broadcast over local AM radio then recorded in first order ambisonics and 360 VR. Mistakes were made but this was just for fun and to test out the set-up.

Before a Kyma Sound plays it goes through a process known as compile, load, start. In this video a simple yet effective look at this situation is explained. Further, by understanding the various parts of the action one can use them to their advantage. For example, during the compile stage Kyma is looking for all files that the Sound references. If these files are in your "Frequently Used Folders" - set in your Kyma preferences- then Kyma will look there first and you can potentially save some time. Moreover, a "long" sample file played back from your disk as opposed to your hardware accelerator's RAM can be quicker as well. Of course, from a technical standpoint, it's always preferable to use RAM. In any case, understanding the process of playing a Sound is a useful skill to acquire.
