Distant Synth I
Janus Fouche 2017
A self-made musical instrument: drone machine and deep harmony synth.
The instrument uses a virtual sound-engine (written entirely in Pd, running on a Raspberry PI computer), and hardware interface with patch-points with knobs and switches for parameter control, with musical expression via OSC.
