Study for T-Stick and Granulation

Gaël Moriceau

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This performance offers an exploration of sound synthesis and instrumental gestures using the T-Stick, a well-established gestural controller. Mapped to a granulation-based sound engine developed in the SuperCollider environment, the T-Stick transforms into a digital musical instrument (DMI), enabling the performer to shape sounds in real-time. The choice to employ granulation stems from its capability to effortlessly generate complex sounds by creating dense clusters of short "grains" extracted from sound files. This study marks the initial phase of a research project aimed at expanding the T-Stick repertoire and developing new playing techniques for DMIs.
