bAgg*fisH feat. Vinicius Cajado. improvised recording from Sept 7 2021. Michael Fischer (A): tenor saxophone, feedback_saxophone Marcos Baggiani (NL): drums, small instruments Vinicius Cajado (BR): bass You need a place approx. 5x5 meters to walk around with your iPhone in your hand. The camera is used for optical user tracking. Head tracking is simulated by the direction to which your iPhone points - as if your phone is your head. It works best if you place your iPhone on your chest with the main camera facing into the room. Please also use headphones to experience 3D sound, as this is binaurally rendered 5th Order Ambisonic. Put on some headphones and start walking around in your room. You will see 3 dots that represent the different instruments. Just place them into the circle by walking around.

Read full description

Create cycles with tone shapes of smoothly varying frequency by plotting frequency at specific times. Tap the library button to pick from a selection of sample tone shapes to get started. Tap in the plot view to add points with coordinates (frequency, time). Drag to move points, but limited by the neighbors time. Alternatively, drag in the draw tab to add points, then apply them to set the points in the plot view. Adjust the frequency range slider to limit the bandwidth. Adjust the duration slider to specify the cycle period. Finally, in the export view you can save the audio to a WAV file with a chosen number of cycles. The duration of the audio is limited by the maximum duration, which therefore also limits the number of cycles in the audio file.
