Dendriet is a network of musicians in The Hague (.nl) that perform with networked electronic and acoustic instruments. The word dendriet, or dendrite, is also the name for the receptors of a nervecell. Dendrites are typically branching branches. You'll find these fractal shapes in ice, in metal chrystals in limestone, and likewise, in our performance setups. Please do check out our homepage by clicking the stone. You too are invited to join the discussions.

DSP acting analog..... 

Today I was trying to construct a drone sound in SuperCollider using triggered sawtooth oscillators. It wasn't extremely complex but it proved to be utterly weird!
The drone sound was very rough, too rough. I had anticipated some rough/noise quality because I was using ringmodulation (how cliché!) and because this patch was based on an analog studio project from the BEA5 studio at sonology, I had some idea on it's soundquality.
It turned out there was some way supposedly indepent signal streams were influencing each other! Commenting out the lines of code controlling/constructing the Y-input of the ringmodulation resulted in less rough sounds from the X-input-signal before it was going into the ringmodulation.
Very analog of supercollider, but not as subtle as I had planned my drone sound to be....
