Figures Outside a Dacha, with Snowfall, and an Abbey in the Background Maxpatch

Abstract

This program is a custom-built performance instrument created in the Max environment for a new composition by Dr Steven Daverson, Figures Outside a Dacha, with Snowfall, and an Abbey in the Background, designed for real-time sound manipulation and spatialization during live performances. Its standout features include the ability to spatialize a significant number of individual audio sources, strategic speaker placement throughout the concert hall, and integration of Ircam's Spat5 technology. Developed to facilitate live, on-the-fly interaction with its various modules, the program supports dynamic interpretation and improvisation during performances.
