Buchla 200e - Final Project

For my final project, I made a patch on the Buchla 200e that demonstrates some of the concepts we learned this semeseter. The modules that I used are as follows:

222e - Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input
251e - Quad Sequential Voltage Source
266e - Source of Uncertainty
256e - Quad Control Voltage Processor
292e - Quad Dynamics Processor
281e - Quad Function Generator
261e - Complex Waveform Generator
223e - Tactile Input Port Radio
227e - System Interface (Quad Mixer)

The idea was to use the 251e sequencer module to trigger a bouncing octave sound with another oscillator layered over the top with some pitch movement tied to the kinesthetic keyboard mixed with some randomness. The result is mesmerizing and puzzling piece which would pair well with an interactive perfomance with projections that I have been brainstorming.

You can watch a demo video and see the final patch in detail below.

This is a patch that I made to demonstrate some of the concepts we have learned this semester in Morton Subotnik's Creating With Interactive Media class taken through NYU's Steinhardt School of Music Technology.
