The following current pieces featured in this post demonstrate part of my compositional approach. The sounds heard in Sequencer Experiment 6B (2025) derive from the “Space Sines” modular rack setup in the “Soundscapes” selection in the “Racks” folder from the “Player” tab in Reaktor 6 Player. I physically altered the playback speed and manipulated the notes and wave frequencies by generating tones from my laptop keyboard and controlling the knobs and buttons with my laptop mousepad. This approach allowed me to convert my laptop into a musical instrument as a portable synthesizer. I then put the completed track that I recorded in Reaktor 6 Player into the Audacity music production program to pan the overall direction of the left and right audio channels in the track. I also added “Realtime” audio effects and manipulated the audio to try and get the best results.[1]
