Artists

Digital signal processing and sound performances

Sound artists got interested in DSP from a variety of backgrounds: serious music composing (Burlas, Matej, Piaček, Žoffaj), industrial music fan (Bittner, Tóth), punk & DIY (Potočný, Lichý, Kordík, Šubrtová), garsonka folk (Kladivo, Burgr), theatre performances (Murin, Burgr, Vlk).

Techniques include

  • electronics (Rbnx [self-made], Urbanfailure, Jamka)
  • software-based DSP using Reaktor (Poo), Abbleton (Oliver Irsai, Vlk), Max/MSP (Martin Vysoký, Zoffaj, Kordik, Kladivo, Pink Big Pig), and in combination with accoustic instruments (Martin Vysoký, Pink Big Pig)
  • live electronics (Matej)
