In this video, you're going to learn how to develop a truly unique sound by combining two of my favorite sound design techniques: Field recordings and granular synthesis.
We'll be using Ableton Live 12 with its newly updated granular synth Granulator III, which you can download here: www.ableton.com/en/packs/gran...
Thanks to Ableton for sponsoring this video and giving me the opportunity to speak with Robert Henke, aka Monolake. He's not only the creator of Granulator (and, to a high degree, Ableton Live since the early days), but he's also one of the most forward-thinking yet kind-hearted artists I've ever met.
Watch out for next week, as I'll release the full-length interview with Robert Henke.

I literally just finished a track using foley sounds from London and now hugely inspired to use granular synthesis on my future tracks. Awesome video! Thanks

The loop you used to demonstrate is quite unique and intriguing! Will you ever turn it into a finished track? 🎶

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

There’s a high probability ;)

@Clic-ac Месяц назад

Great stuff, really interesting & encouraging! And yeh, I'd like to see one about Grain Delay ;-)

@sub-jec-tiv Месяц назад

For more on the first technique, check out Ezekiel Honig’s excellent book about using field recordings in music. It explores the ‘why’ to use field recording, more than ‘how,’ which is great because it helps you to understand the topic more deeply and build your own unique ideas. It’s called ‘Bumping Into a Chair While Humming: Listening, Sounds of the Everyday, and the Potential of the Personal.’ I think it’s available as an e-book. (I have the paper version which is gorgeous, if you can find a copy.) Ezekiel was an early pioneer of field recordings in techno-related electronic music. His music is great, too.

Actually if you could at a minimum demonstrate the pitch shifted reverb thing which Mr Henke described I’d be grateful. I gave it a shot but must misunderstand because it wasn’t anything like what he described.

Thanks. Great video. By the way, which field recording instrument do you use...I'm just starting out in field recording and was wondering what to buy. cheers.

@pickyourselfofficial Месяц назад

Zoom H6. Super happy with it. Lots of other brands require you to menu-dive a lot just to change the gain. The layout and quality of this one has convinced me :)

@GenocidePanda 2 месяца назад

everything now is granular or spectral. ready for that next thang

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

Any idea what could be next? Apart from AI stuff, haha.

@GenocidePanda 2 месяца назад

@@pickyourselfofficial more concatenative synthesis like dillion bastions plugin or better tone transfer. or more plugins like synplant but with more oscillators lmao. AI will definitely be involved in the process tho. it’s inevitable

Spectular?

@ironqueen_osrs 13 дней назад

This sounds so good! Do you release music and where can i find it?

@pickyourselfofficial 12 дней назад

Thanks so much, that means a lot! In recent years I've worked mainly on 3D-sound installations and sadly, that music is location-specific and only composed for the occasion. You can't really turn it into a (good-sounding) stereo piece that one can stream on Spotify. But the good news is: I'll get back to releasing music in a more "traditional" way as I find it frustrating not being able to share my music outside of these events.

@MentalBlue Месяц назад

Well,... looks like Granulator is only useful for experimental music ? What about showing us a "normal" music production use of Granulator III ?

@vinylarchaeologist Месяц назад

I really enjoy your videos, but if you could be persuaded to turn off those annoying (to me) and unnecessary (to me) swooshing sounds, that would make them even better (to me) 😅❤

@ArielAfk 2 месяца назад

Electronic music would be much different without Henke, a true game changer

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

So true! Still an underrated artist in my opinion. He‘s bringing a new album this year, I‘m really excited about it :)

@xxsomepeperagez 2 месяца назад

Can you show us the techniques that Henke describes?

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

Great idea! I'll see how to integrate them in a future video. Maybe on the grain delay one, that will definitely happen :)

😂 dishwasher? I thought that's the ocean

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

@djvictornova9188 2 месяца назад

Maybe it would more natural to not time stretch your recorded sounds , One you time stretch it becomes similar to a typical loop.. Just an idea... Great video

@pickyourselfofficial 2 месяца назад

Yes, there’s a spectrum from totally loose and natural to super “on the grid”. I like a combination of both, at least when the music is dancefloor-oriented and not only experimental. Thanks for the comment! 💯🙌🏻

@user-ks8ux4ig6b 2 месяца назад

I think we're past the days when you could be interesting because you used a new or unusual technique or created new sounds.

@joshviggiani9844 Месяц назад

I do not think so. No matter the human endeavor, there are always stones left unturned.

@joshviggiani9844 Месяц назад

@user-ks8ux4ig6b It's impossible to be wrong. To think everything has already been done is just patently empirically incorrect. Use weird sounds and make them sound great and usable. Use great sounds and make them sound greater. Record in the field with a decent mic your actual self striking that cool sounding boingy hollow wooden wall or metal chair. (Actually the best results and 100% unique.) Just don't keep doing the same things and expect different results. Stay blessed.
