My goal for today is to create an accurate wind chime using Absynth. We messed around with quite a few options so far and know what it is we like, now I just need to figure out how to create that sound.
Once this is done I hope to get Absynth plugged into max/msp [...]

context ::
In the course of history wind chimes have been used in different contexts. They have been used for therapeutic purposes as their soothing sounds are considered to dissolve stress and anger.

My first attempts with Max/MSP. I have taken the patch aka.wiiremote found in this address, http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_wiiremote and have added a few objects that trigger a note and/or a sound sample, to see which resembles more to the notes of a metal wind chime. None is really close, so I am looking for notes, coming from [...]

:: thoughts :
In an attempt to address the issue of the fake entering the realm of the real, I turned towards the notion of the simulacrum and the process of simulation leading to a reality without reference to real signs (Jean Baudrillard, 1994). In simulation, nothing is represented with respect to real signs; they are [...]
