Greg FoxMalhaus Construction Kit (March 21, 2006)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

This is the "Construction Kit" version of "Malhaus", which is a project I made in March 2006 with the Internet Archive in mind.
It's my attempt at furthering a model of "open source audio" in which the end-user compiles a unique instance of "the piece" for themselves rather than having composer/performers dictate the exact nature of what's to be heard.
It's similar to the old 60s idea of aleatory music, except instead of choices for performers, here the raw materials are presented to the audience, who then make their own "definitive to me" version of the piece.
Ready-made versions are also available since many listeners won't have the urge to involve themselves in that level of customisation. However the choice is now there. This is the first of several collections of "components" which I'll be posting this year. I'm not going to work this way ALL the time, but it will be something I stay interested in for a while yet. I hope this model of new music will be of interest to some of you. Greg Fox

Notes

Technical "how to" articles will be added in rich text format with pictures over the next week. These will show you how to use the component-set in programs such as Audacity (GNU) and Krystal-Audio, as well as give examples of approaches which can be taken with the piece.
I will also post a second "Example" compiled version - the audio-book version and instrumental version have been online for a couple of weeks and the first "Example" is also already online, following a simple "Fuzzy Felt" strategy. The second "Example" will be more complex, showcasing techniques described here.
