SuperCollider

December 3, 2004, 12:00 am

SuperCollider is an interpreted Object Oriented programming language and realtime sound synthesis server. The language is based on Smalltalk but with C language family syntax. One or more client applications runs the language (OSX / *nix / windows) with which you can do any kind of sequencing, generation or physical interfaces you can think of, which then sends messages to one or more synthesis servers over TCP/IP or UDP (locally or remote) on which you can do nearly any type of synthesis or sound processing you can think of.

SC was written by James McCartney over a period of many years. It is now an open source GPL'd project maintained and developed by James and a few others.

For your enjoyment: some SuperCollider music by me timeblind.



Most of my public offerings to the SuperCollider libraries are now included with the main distribution of SuperCollider 3. Some of the stuff listed here is therefore old and deals mainly with SC2 (for os 9). Which is still a nice piece of software.

some SuperCollider music

A small selection of some tracks that were done entirely with SuperCollider. Lots of my stuff from the past several years is done with it, these tracks are just to show a range of sound and complexity for people wondering what can be done with the language. Some sound file edits were done (mostly just to concentrate the flow of time).

Around (remix)

download Around (remix).mp3
Remix for Electric Company. This was done using the short lived beta of SC3 on OS 9. It uses the phase vocoder ugens extensively, especially the one pole filter (used on the time domain signal) which causes time to freeze.


Electric Company - Greatest Hits - Around (Timeblind Remix)

released:

what the...?

download what the...?.mp3
This is produced entirely with SuperCollider. "what the...?" is something that you hear on TV or see in comics all the time, trailing off to.... some obscenity; or maybe its "heck". I love it. Its like "Cheese Whiz"—what do you think it's short for ? Taking the Lord's name in vain in every convenience store.

I am timeblind on myspace. thanks for the add.

I am crucialfelix on del.icio.us which is where I link to all the interesting shit I come across.

I put my photos up on flickr

NYC events iCal : anything that looks good.

Berlin events (parties, shows, vernissage, films): subscribe to google calendar / iCal

When I listen to music at home it all gets echoed onto here and on my Last.fm page. Most of the time I don't use that cause I don't want you to see me obsessively listening to my own mixes, really bad working titles.

You can read some posts I thought were interesting from various feeds.

I've been doing the Dance Music Business Resource since 1995, back when it was on hyperreal.org. Articles and info for artists and small labels. Recently I've been posting interesting industry news items and adding some new content about downloads etc.
