M4L Bulbs Pack
20.11.2011
M4L Bulbs Pack is max4live pack of five plugins that work inside Ableton Live. They are designed to provide the quick creation of interesting sounds using a technique called spectral processing. Sound is treated like a video stream, processed, and then turned back into audio.
For more info head over to press release.
You can find sound examples and buy this pack here.
22.10.11 (Live at Galeria Miejska Arsenał)
10.11.2011
Excerpts from live gig in Galeria Miejska Arsenał in Poznań organized by Cyklotronika. It was my first audiovisual concert, and I was playing with help of Jan Hoffmann (live video sampling).
Cyklotronika + Few Quiet People (Visualizations)
06.11.2011
My friend Wojciech Morawski organises small local festival – Cyklotronika, and some time ago he came up with idea to make it more audiovisual. I’ve prepared minimalistic visualization for Few Quiet People Unquiet Event.
This visualization was made in max/msp, and uses live audio input that was grabbed from mixer. Main line was drawn using amplitude. Sound was then further analyzed, and different frequencies controlled multiple aspects of video processing.
You can see it running live, along with some great music in this two excerpts:
A Silent Swaying Breath
22.10.2011
Few days ago “A Silent Swaying Breath” was released on Audiogourmet netlabel.
Info from official press release:
SoundFjord, Audio Gourmet’s Harry Towell (Spheruleus) and Bartosz Dziadosz (Pleq) have come together to curate an album created “by the people, for the people”, to raise funds for those that has been affected by the recent unrest that ravaged cities across the country.
The album, a statement and a monument to collaboration and community, brings together works selected from 1-minute, unedited recordings gleaned from artists, musicians and the general public across the globe. Spheruleus and Pleq sensitively weave together an eclectic selection of field recordings, samples, spoken word pieces and instrumentation, creating for the listener momentous emotional landscapes, delicate, tender moments and most of all, a yearning tumult of haunting quietude: a silent, swaying breath.
These 1-minute samples were provided by variety of artists, including Hakobune, Lauki, Marihiko Hara, Offthesky, Pawn, Pillowdiver amongst many others.
For this record I’ve prepared few droneish loops from heavily processed piano samples.
You can grab this album here.

By A Haze (Reprise)
02.10.2011
This is recording of live audio/video improvisation made using fragments of “By A Haze” that will be part of my upcoming album, and video samples provided by Jan Hoffmann.
More technical description:
I was improvising with samples in Ableton, and sending OSC messages using max4live plugins to patch in max/msp on Jan’s laptop that was handling video. Jan was choosing samples and working with few effects, rest of them were controlled by OSC messages. Both audio and video were recorded, and later glued together without any additional postprocessing.
Untiteld – Written Images
20.09.2011
I finally got my copy of Written Images book.
Info from official site:
A generative book that presents programmed images by various artists. Each print in process will be calculated individually – which makes every single book unique.
Artists, designers and developers are encouraged to program image creating applications, which will be published as four-page spreads in the book.
These programs visualize internet data-streams or display self-generated content. They are able to save continuously changing images on demand.
Every application will run through an auto-generative printing program which generates and compiles all images and metatexts into a printable book.
The printing will be done digitally due to continuously changing data.
The final result will be an unique art book; a fusion of various digital artworks in printed form.
I was really lucky to be one of 42 artists selected for this project.
My application is using online webcam images from North and South poles, and rearranges parts of them to show how vast and empty those places can be.
