Forester is a sound/composition generator visualized using Tree analogy. Built using MaxMSP, Forester allows you to load a number of samples and navigate them as you would a forest to create sound composition.
You start by selecting your samples/sounds, loading them into the app and then selecting tree size and distribution method. As you navigate the ‘forest’ sounds attributed to trees respond, sequenced and looped. You also have a choice to “wonder”, making your cursor slightly disturbed generating sounds by its vibrations. The app also allows you to change reverb settings as well as save your creations.
Please remember to turn your amp/mixer down low when you start using Forester. Sounds may not appear for some time so please don’t keep turning up!
