Experimental
Title: Chanting and Chatting (Home Brew)
Genre: Computer Generated
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: This piece is inspired by Paul Lansky's album Homebrew. Sounds in daily life were processed by several designed audio filters, programmed in ChucK audio language. These sounds include: chanting, chatting, vacuum cleaning, cat eating, and washing dishes.
Title: Light Speed (Drum Machine Experiment)
Genre: Computer Generated
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: This piece is composed with an interactive audio-visual drum machine system that I designed using ChucK and the processing programming language, back in 2012, during my studies at CCRMA.
Title: Transitions
Genre: Modular sythesizers
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Operating modular synthesizers to design new sound and audio effects is part of my compositional language. I enjoy the real-time physical interactions and haptic feedback from the systems. The unpredictable nature of the digital-analog systems is the most exciting part of my compositional process.
Title: Memories
Genre: Modular sythesizers
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Another piece composed by using modular synthesizers. All sounds are generated by the system. This piece is trying to tell you the story of a dark and dangerous journey.
Title: Breakthrough
Genre: Modular sythesizers
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Another piece composed by using modular synthesizers. All sounds are generated by the system.
Title: Action Movie (Data Sonification and Sound Design)
Genre: Computer Generated
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Title: Anger
Genre: Sound Effects
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Anger is natural for the immature to harm others. Getting angry with them is like resenting a fire for burning. When reason ends, then anger begins. Therefore, anger is a sign of weakness.
Title: Arrogance
Genre: Sound Effects
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Self-assertive or an exaggerated positive evaluation of oneself, often based on a devaluation of others.
Title: Greed
Genre: Sound Effects
Composer: Wu Xiao Ci
Note: Greed is the desire that comes from a black hole of need. It can be compared to fire. If we grasp fire, what happens? Does it lead to happiness?
