POM

POM is an algorithmic music tool based partly on Markov chains. The sound output at a given moment in time is determined by the previous audio output using logical rules. Such rules can take the form of: "if the output is less than 440Hz then the next output frequency would be a 220Hz etc".

The POM interface also connects a 3D graphics navigation with the sound output. Depending the position of the 3D graph some sound parameters like volume changes accordingly.

The POM sound engine without the 3D graphs can also be found at:

Amis

AMIS (Asynchronous Music Information Streams) is a software MIDI interface based on the ideas of Granular synthesis. It is not a Granular synthesizer by means of altering the physics of a sound rather it is a method of organizing MIDI information - based mainly on the Asynchronous cloud streams approach of organizing Granular synthesis events as it has been described by Curtis Roads. However, AMIS does not particularly follow any particular Granular implementation. AMIS is a performance instrument therefore generates data in real-time. Consequently, some 'classic' Asynchronous GS specifications such as the pre-defined cloud duration are abandoned. The general idea was to providing the user with plenty of event organization control, but at the same time to allow creative musical interpretations to be taken by the AMIS algorithms. AMIS essentially provides an extra layer of control for any musical device being able to accept MIDI data and output a sound. This can be either be an external MIDI module with internal wavetables or even an internal software synthesizer (this is possible only by using the MIDI Yoke or similar drivers). Therefore, AMIS is not constrained by internal wavetables, instead provides control of any waveform exists on the connected MIDI system ? either sampled or synthesized. This process introduces Granular synthesis to any MIDI device is connected with the AMIS interface and therefore extends the musical possibilities of the connected device. AMIS can be also controlled by an external MIDI device.

dimitri barnias : about

Dimitri is a sound artist and music programmer living the last ten years between London and Crete. He has graduated in 2004 from City University with an MSc in Music Information Technology in which he developed he interest further about software music programming and sound synthesis. Prior, he has been working in London as a sound engineer while he has developing his musical ideas for electroacoustic music. Currently he is partly teaching Music Technology and continues to explore synthetic soundscapes.
