My updated Dicy 2 works

Hi everyone,

With this post, I’d like to update you on my work with Dicy 2. Since I started using it quite a while ago, Dicy has become my main tool for both improvisation and composition.

Here are three videos and a sound file of a piece (still a work in progress).

The first video

is a presentation of a patch I created during my residency at ArtZoyd studio in Valenciennes, France. This Artaud project is still something I’m working on, and I think it will follow me throughout 2025. As you can see, I like to pair Dicy with other software and packages.

The other two videos are improvisations:

Additionally, my goal and research are increasingly focused on using Dicy with less musical and pitch-oriented sounds.

Finally, here’s a drony piece generated almost entirely with Dicy with some concat synth elements, during the recording process I tweaked Dicy parameters in real time, so this recording is just this moment, each time I run Ableton something different happens. I only did some minor mixing and editing afterward. I created this in Ableton Live using the plugin version of Dicy 2, with a single synth track “influencing” different agents, a cello corpus and a flute corpus. I plan to make a video soon explaining this session in detail. Dropbox

Please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas about how I can evolve my work.

I’m also looking for concerts and venues that might be interested in hosting me with these projects. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
