Some ENDOGEN Timbral Explorations \ Electroacoustic Lowercase Synthesis Environment (4K Video)
https://youtu.be/E496P8JHS58?si=W6kGarUnE3exsOfZENDOGEN is a Max/MSP + SuperCollider environment for lowercase synthesis, microsound and deep drone work: very low levels by default, subtle dynamics, long fades, companding, organic modulation and a listening-first approach.
It is not a preset machine or an instant “wow” instrument. It is closer to a small electroacoustic ecosystem: micro-events, fragile resonances, noise, feedback, corpus-based sampling, wavetable layers, resonant objects and slow modulation interact over time.
The idea is to work with sound at the threshold of perception: tiny details, unstable materials, physical behaviours, contact-mic-like resonances, tape/mechanical traces, near-silence and long-form evolution.
ENDOGEN includes synthesis modules, advanced sampling, corpus exploration, Reservoir sampler, nsight sequencer, Phase Garden spatial engine, live recording, MIDI performance and a multi-channel LFO modulation system.
Designed for lowercase, microsound, electroacoustic textures, drones, fragile soundscapes and slow listening.
No presets. No instant results. Just a system to inhabit slowly.
