By Audio Genetics,on September 6th,2010  RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Dug up from the archives and presented free to the public is our newest genetic specimen: the Magnus Chord Organ. This small subspecies is closely related to the accordion and harmonica,with the key difference being the source of the air movement generating from an electric fan as opposed to moving bellows or lungs. Originally three keyboard octaves,and including a number of accordion-like chord buttons,this family instrument was widely distributed in the 1970′s. It has a raw,charming quality to its sound. We at the lab have worked with this specimen and created a small collection of patches generated from the original parent instrument and our audio genetic offspring. These patches were so joyous to work with,we felt they should be shared with the public for free. You are fully permitted to use this library in any commercial recordings that you like,and we encourage users to continue to modify the gene pool of the instruments themselves. -A.G.L. By Audio Genetics,on August 10th,2010  RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Our work on the newest audio specimen pool based on the aerophone genome is complete. This collection was put into motion by private interests,but is now available to the general public. Go to the research page for more information,audio demos,and to order the specimens for your own audio research and composition. -A.G.L. By Audio Genetics,on July 6th,2010  Freely Downloadable Kontakt Instrument RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT:The goal of our research team here at the Audio Genetics Lab is to take natural specimens from the world,mine their acoustic genome for aurally useful and stimulating possibilities,and then reconstruct the original specimen into wholly new creations of organic and inorganic compatibility through advanced audio gene manipulation. The new species are then organized and compiled into highly-performable instruments for use by other researchers in their home labs/studios. The results of our first round of testing and audio genetics on the Tongue Drum dataset is complete. The library is now released freely to the public for download and use. We at the lab will welcome reports of use,side effects,and temperment changes resulting from use of these specimens. By Audio Genetics,on June 15th,2010 Project Synopsis: Continuation of the examination of the potential musical application of music applicators. In this instance,plectrums of varying densities and materials will be subjected to many stressful stimuli including: - Scraping
- Drilling
- Abrasive brushwheel
- Vocal ridicule
- Water submersion
- Burning
The plectrum will be analyzed throughout the process for potential sonic material,and any useful results will be documented for later study. It is the goal of the researchers to raise the self-worth of the plectrums by uncovering their own musical potential as separate from the typical use of applying music-inducing force upon other inherently musical devices in rapid succession (see Malmsteen,120).
