Loomer – Cumulus
October 1st, 2011 · Inquer
A few months ago I got involved with Loomer’s latest project, an exclusive give-away for this current months Computer Music Magazine.
Cumulus is a granular sampler which radically transforms sample content by breaking it into tiny slithers of audio called grains and reorganizing them to form new sounds. Cumulus is capable of a wide ranges of timbres: from evolving atmospheric soundscapes; to organic physical textures.
Through The Viewfinder
May 9th, 2011 · fStop, Inquer
I recently came across this article on photojojo.com about adapting a digital SLR camera into a underwater capturing vintage machine. Granted, it’s an ingenious Macgyver-esque contraption, but what really sparked my interest was the technique it uses called Through-The-Viewfinder or TTV. As the diagram illustrates and the name suggests, you take a DSLR and take pictures through the viewfinder of an old camera. Easily distracted, I thought I would take my old Brownie camera and have ago.
Bypassing the whole ingenious Macgyver periscope thing, I had the ambidextrous task of using two cameras simultaneously, with varying degrees of success. Despite the pictures being over-exposed and blurred, they had a Turner(ish) quality about them which I rather liked. It’s definitely a technique I would like to explore in the future.
