"I Am Sitting in a Room" is one of Alvin Lucier's work. The first recording was in 1969 in MA, US. It is a sequence of audio where Lucier recorded his own voice and play it back in a room while recording the playback. This is done repeatedly until voice is unintelligible and what left was the resonance of the room.
In Audiotool, this can be achieved by making a feedback loop. The set up includes a set of merger and splitter, 12 Delays, a Reverb and a Compressor.
The Splitter and Merger makes the feedback loop possible.
My recording lasted a little over 10 bars. The length of all Delays were 1/8 and the step for all delays were 7 steps.
Total number of steps = 7*12 = 84
Number of delayed bars = 84 / 8 = 10.5; which is a little over the duration of my speech.
At the end of the delay chain, there lies a Reverb plugin and a Compressor.
At first, the Reverb roomsize was around 73ms long, and its destruction wasn't as appealing as the current room size.
The Compressor prevents the feedback from gaining too loud.
lol yeah man, I automate the process too. I've had many ideas about signal flows in Audiotool lately. I'm planning on making an AND/OR gate later on, for generative randomized music
This experiment has captured my imagination: It could do with a synthesizer, then create a sample with this by controlling the volume and use it on another track.
