L'UPIC Ludique

L'UPIC Ludique reimagines Xenakis' UPIC (Unité Polyagogique Informatique CEMAMu) instrument as a children's toy. With its stripped-back, simple, minimal wooden interface, raw audio waveforms can be drawn and manipulated. Different coloured pencils can control various layers of the composition, from drawing audio waveforms to manipulating other parameters and employing compositional techniques such as granular synthesis.

Abstract

L'UPIC Ludique reimagines Xenakis' UPIC (Unité Polyagogique Informatique CEMAMu) instrument as a children's toy. With its stripped-back, simple, minimal wooden interface, raw audio waveforms can be drawn and manipulated. Different coloured pencils can control various layers of the composition, from drawing audio waveforms to manipulating other parameters and employing compositional techniques such as granular synthesis.
