slur / granular [patch share]

grab it at —> tomhall.xyz/maxmsp/patches

I’ve been meaning to share this one for a long while

This patch is the ultimate “processor/mangler” for sound, from subtly chord drone, vocal processing & breakbeat choppage

Have fun, tag me if you make something with it 🫡

Field recording isn’t a very new discipline, but it’s not been around for as much as photography or other arts.

“while the artworld and popular culture seemed to favor spectacle, i was interested in silence, humility, intimacy, and thus began to describe my work as having a lowercase aesthetic—and i viewed the term as a quiet form of protest.”

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!)

The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness.

LOUDER.
Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

It's like his work never happened.
