A short piece of music I implemented using Martin Brinkmann's pure data patches for electronic music. I implemented automation to switch between scenes of the song and automate some of the parameters of the synths.


If you're new to pure data and have a background in electronic music and want to experiment I cant recommend Martin Brinkmann's pure data patches on his website enough. This patch is modified version of his sequenzquadrat3r h. The main sequencer can store upto 8 scenes of music with step sequencer for 5 different midi outputs(patterns) each and all the properties of each pattern is completely independant.

Inside the sequencer the data for each scene is stored in a table in a sequential manner. For eg: The row values for each pattern is stored as shown below.


I made a hack to transition between the scenes. All my composed 4 scenes had 2 bar as their lengths and made a counter to count metro bangs from the BPM object to transition on the determined length.


There is a more elegant way of doing this by getting sequence position from the sequencer output but at the time i had not recognized how to do it. For each each bang to the pattern change, I would send the scene number to input of sequencer and send some automation to some of the synths in patch so that it sounds dynamic.







This was the final portfolio piece I worked in my year at Vancouver Film School for the Sound Design For Visual Media Programme. Basically, all the sounds and music in the video were redone.

Originally mixed for 5.1 surround and then Encoded using Dolby Pro Logic to Stereo.
