Modular DSP Prototyping

Generative instruments and effects are developed using RNBO and/orGen, with deployment to embedded hardware that merges digital sound design with tactile interaction. The Bela Pepper module serves as a foundation for experiments ranging from FM synthesis and generative sequencing to sample-based percussion systems, often processed with echoes, reverbs, and spectral transformations. Electrosmith’s Daisy platform and Noise Engineering’s Versio modules provide are sandbox modules for prototyping digital textures, granular synthesis, and glitched buffer manipulation, shaped by filtering, decimation, and evolving modulation. Prototyping involves building compact, efficient DSP ecosystems where a handful of carefully chosen parameters create instruments that are at once characterful and adaptable, designed to be played and reshaped in new musical contexts.

In parallel, live improvisation with violin is central, supported by systems that respond in real time to instrumental events. The salient features of this hybrid violin emerge through a concrete, trial-and-error process of construction rather than from any high-level model of gesture or intention.
