Inside the Noise
Documentation of Altrememorie Residency held between 7–28 February 2025.
Hosted by Le(Serre (Udine, IT) and Pina (Koper, SI).
This residency was focused on the exploration of urban soundscapes and ambisonics. Using first- and third-order microphones, various urban environments and activities were captured, along with multiple impulse responses from different echoic spaces. The sound material originated from Koper and the surroundings of Udine. This material was then used to train a classifier network in MaxMSP with the FluCoMa library.
The training process resulted in a dataset containing frequency information carried by the first harmonic of the ambisonic recordings. Once trained, the classifier could identify incoming recordings and trigger real-time mixing of those sounds. A spatial FM synthesizer, also built in MaxMSP, was then fed into the network, merging both signals into an experimental, combinatory dialogue.
