Echotect — Turn your hood into a delay

I created the open source application Echotect, which allows you to turn your hood into a delay. It can also be used as an acoustic lab on some level. Add reflection points, structures, and use included global building data for automatic echo field mapping.

The project can be exported as impulse response files to the reverb you use and the like; as stems of the echo field, and as the entire wet track. A Max4Live device is included, where you can import the echo field manifest in JSON format. You can also import the same JSON into your own applications.

It is possible to import an image into Echotect: a set design image, maybe a historical map or just a cool image that you want to match echo points to. There’s a scale tool to calibrate the image to real world measurements.

The Max4Live device is by default four-channel to implement surround sound if necessary, but go wild with it.

I personally like listening to sound from somewhere further away and finding interesting perspectives for music mixing and the like. The app basically allows IR file creation from any location, which I’d imagine could have uses in movie sound design.

The app is not designed to be a hard core acoustic simulator, but it goes a long way there. Reflections have reflections and they are affected by real world occlusions and other freely adjustable parameters. Deeper echo fields are best created in the render mode.

Bad Boys Blue – I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat Sunday Candy Girl Remix

This is a remix of Bad Boys Blue classic 80s hit I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat. It’s the favourite track of paramedics and intensive care units.

I have used vocals from the hit’s 1st recording session version because of their clarity compared to the final released version.

Together with the vocals I have spliced in a couple of other elements from the original track. My idea was to make a more chilled and laid back version of the original high energy tune.

I learned to appreciate the original track even more during the process. It’s richly orchestrated brilliant pop song.

The track has been mastered with LANDR online service. It improved the sound, but lacks the character and potential a mastering engineer could create. It’s OK for less serious productions in my opinion.

Soundtrack Composition and Production for an Art Exhibition

An excerpt of the soundtrack loop for an exhibition by a Guadeloupean artist Karib.

The piece is largely based on the high-pitched sound of a reverberating cannon shell casing, which acts like a tuning fork after being fired. In this case, its frequency is about 4400 Hz, or slightly below C#, which corresponds to the wavelength of the casing’s diameter or the cannon’s caliber. The sound is played at different octaves/pitches and processed in various ways. It is mixed with the sound of a Tibetan prayer bell and a temporally lengthened and highly processed sound of a creaking door brings along an organic dynamism.
