Other Sound Design

Wayfinding: Tools > Software > Other Sound Design

Among many theatre design skills, Nathan Leigh is a composer and sound designer. In our interview, he mentioned the tools he uses: ‘Ableton, Max MSP - Max MSP is really good at … it's a really good tool to take numbers, just random numbers, and then process them in a way. So, you can take a number, assigned some rules, process it, and then it spits it back into Ableton, and Ableton plays a sample, depending on what those notes are. I came up with a data exchange protocol that converts X-Y coordinates into midi notes’. He used MIDI in POV: you are an a.i. achieving consciousness because it is a mathematically-based form of generating music and sounds.
