#SOUNDHACK FREESOUND ARCHIVE#

Audio archivist for the David Tudor archive at the Getty Research Institute.These include Spectral Shapers, freesound, delay trio, and Pvoc Kit. Developed 17 sound processing plugins to use in all areas of sound design.Designed and supervised the installation of the Dizzy Gillespie Recording Studio at California Institute of the Arts.Developed and built the NASA Ames Auditory Display Processor, a four-channel binaural processor designed to improve communication intelligibility for NASA launch and mission control.

#SOUNDHACK FREESOUND SOFTWARE#

SoundHack is used extensively for the sound design for The Matrix, which wins the Academy Award in sound design. This software is still widely used today. Created SoundHack, a spectral sound processing application for the Macintosh, one of the first freeware computer music programs, and winner of first prize at the first Concours de Logiciels Musicaux at the IMEB Festival in Bourges.Performed electronics and “rhythm orchestra” on Robert Ashley’s ground-breaking opera Improvement. (1989).Developed the first CD quality (16-bit) audio interface for the Macintosh with Micro Technology Unlimited.Developed (with Andy Voelkel) a real-time pitch detector and performance system for Max Mathews’ electronic violin for János Négysey (1986).

As a recording engineer, Tom Erbe has produced over 100 CDs of contemporary music, including the restoration of James Tenney’s early computer music, recording of Bridge Records’ Morton Feldman series, compilation of the Lyrachord series of contemporary Indonesian music, and production of over 20 years of the Leonardo Music Journal ‘s annual compilation of experimental music. Tom Erbe has performed, and collaborated on, electronic music pieces by Alvin Lucier, John Cage, James Tenney, Maryanne Amacher, Larry Polansky, Alvin Curran, Robert Ashley, Clipping, and others. He creates computer music software and hardware, most notably the sound processing application SoundHack, the many soundhack plugins, and several ground-breaking synthesis modules developed with Make Noise Music. Tom Erbe is deeply involved and dedicated to electronic and computer music research, and creation. bandwidth, central frequency, feedback, and modulator parameters can be adjusted.Phone: 858 534-5277 Off: CPMC 254 | Discography

++phasor is a multistage phase shifter that has outputs for 360, 720, 11 phase shifting (1, 2, 4 and 8 notch). for mid-side microphone arrays, but also useful when needing to apply effects to only the center or the sides of a stereo mix. ++matrix is a mid-side to left-right encoder and decoder.

useful for adding harshness, distortion and brightness to any sound. ++decimate uses bit depth and sample rate reduction for added aliasing and decimation noise. it also has a variable width level detection window (response). It has a softknee control as well as a switchable rms/peak level detector. ++compand is a combined compressor/expander plugin. This can be used to make a sound gently saturated (3rd chebyshev polynomial), harshly distorted (7th chebyshev polynomial) or like a dying amplifier (2nd or 4th chebyshev polynomials). ++chebyshev A distortion unit which uses several low-order chebyshev polynomials to add even or odd harmonic distortion. ++phasor, ++matrix, ++decimate, ++compand, ++chebyshev. The Freesound bundle is a collection of VST/AAX/AU, Mac/Windows plugins that I have developed while teaching music programming at UCSD and CalArts.
