Upgrade Motivation

The Documentation file describes the live-electronics and spatialization used in The Pyre. The "Tape version" allows a sound engineer to play the entire musical material in the absence of one or both of the two musicians. The piece is played using Ableton Live and Max For Live.

The archive contains all sound files, Max For Live, Live and VST plugins files used to run the piece, and a detailed description of the Live set. The setup requires an authorized version of Live 9 Suite or later, with a Max For Live 6.1 or later extension properly installed.

(Detailed staff comes from Brahms, send mail to brahms-contenu@ircam.fr for correction.)
