Going Granular: Slynk Experiments with Grain Scanner
It’s easy to get lost in experimentation with granular synthesis; micro-slicing samples and reconfiguring, repitching and stacking them to create all kinds of sounds. In his latest video Slynk explores Grain Scanner, putting the device to the test on spoken and sung vocals, and then some vocal percussion. The output ranges from the musical to the extreme – he creates unique synth sounds, glitchy vocal effects and even some creepy cave foley.
