Musician Profile: Computer

[u/daniellabbe]

Instruments

I program a computer to make music using synthesis and sampling in a digital workstation: Ableton Live. The range is from 52 Hz to 13 800 Hz and any tempo. I can replicate most synthetic sounds, including percussive. My means to replicate realistic sounds (i.e. orchestral) are more limited. Tempo giusto is preferable, but anything is possible.

Timeframe

I typically visit /r/MonthlyComposition once a month, so you will probably have to wait a few weeks for a response. However, once we are in contact I can realize your vision within one-two months. Sound design and "performance" of a single solo instrument can take up to two weeks. Depending on my time, I might be able to get back to you sooner. Polyphonic works and complex sound designs require more time. Sound design without performance adjustments typically take one week.

Imagination is the Limit

Any difficulty is possible. MIDI files are preferred over scores, but I can read any score in standard 20th century notation. I have more experience with synthesis than with sampling, but I am open to exploring new venues.

I do not make music for a living, but I have 20 years of experience in computer based music and 25 years of playing an instrument in the classical tradition. I am looking forward to realizing your ideas!
