Inspired By Nature [max For Live]: Dillon Bastan

Inspired by fractal plant growth, this instrument "grows" trees where branches represent resonators with varying frequencies and decay. 🛠️ Key Features & Methodology

An FM synthesizer where particles represent operator oscillators; ideal for evolving sci-fi soundscapes and warping wobbles.

A visual granular instrument where particles "shoot" across a spectrogram of a sample to trigger playback. Dillon Bastan Inspired by Nature [Max For Live]

Requires Ableton Live 11/12 Standard (with Max for Live) or Suite.

A granular synthesizer that maps particle movement to sample playback parameters. Inspired by fractal plant growth, this instrument "grows"

Users can adjust simulated physical properties like friction, gravity, magnetism, and wind to alter the musical outcome.

These use a particle system where movement is influenced by gravity, magnetism, and flow fields. Each particle visually represents a voice or modulation source. Requires Ableton Live 11/12 Standard (with Max for

These tools prioritize "happy accidents" over traditional precision, allowing for unpredictable melodies and modulations.
