Vide ton sac : Plaid

Ed Handley et Andy Turner forment le mythique duo electronica Plaid (collaborateur, notamment, de Björk et fer de lance de l’incontournable label Warp). Ils composent ensemble depuis vingt-cinq ans, avec une approche ouverte et touche-à-tout de la composition. À l'occasion de leur venue à Electrons Libres le 30 mars prochain, ils partagent quelques-uns de leurs précieux secrets : logiciels qu'ils utilisent, sites web de référence, musiques qu'ils écoutent... N'en perdez pas une miette ! 

Software

These are nicely programmed granular and FM synthesis plugins for a very good price.
Tangle still has a few bugs and hasn’t been updated for a while but is  still great.

Although these software instruments are trying to replicate real instruments their use of waveguides, as opposed to samples, is pretty innovative and enables an expressive, complex sound.

Design

Being children of the 70’s we have a fascination with science fiction and CG. This blog has examples of imaginary interface design, some of it beautiful.

Film

We did the music for a friends piece about crypto currency.

Love the visuals that Raven does.
