So just how malleable is sound?

 

Studio Noise Manipulated (Death of a Soundcard)

This is an experiment in how malleable sound is today with the use of digital processing. You hear the source content briefly at the start, noise and hum coming from a dying soundcard. That sound is split into narrow bands using a filter bank and each band is then processed differently. As there was a hum element in the original sound it was easy to derive a pitched sound and then further pitch and frequency shift the results.

Introduction

Hello, thanks for looking me up. If you don't already know,  I'm a UK based synthesist who has been creating music since 1979. In addition to public album releases I have made music for production used by BBC, and the Discovery Channel and other broadcasters. 

Because of confusion on various platforms over the name of Mark Griffiths I added a family name to my own to become Mark Dalton Griffiths to release my more experimental/ IDM type music, while I use the name Mark Ellery Griffiths for the more pastoral releases. 


Under my original name I released;

Paperworlds (private cassette release 1983)

Crystallography (private cassette release 1985)

K2 (private cassette release 1987)

Like the Passing of Summer Rain (Electronical Dreams 1989)

From the Trees (Electronical Dreams 1993)

The Lost Harvest (Soundclick 2003)

Dreamers (Soundclick 2003)
