Risset Remixes by MARTSM<>N

Eternal accelerando is an auditory illusion that Jean-Claude Risset described as an effect that creates the perception of constant acceleration in rhythmic patterns. (Risset, 1986)

In 2011 Dan Stowell provided a solution for implementing „Risset eternal accelerando rhythms" on (rhythmic) audio samples by employing variable play back rates and amplitudes distributed to a number of sample play back streams that run synchronized. (Stowell, 2011)

Risset Remixes consists of three recordings based on the Pure Data implementation of Stowell’s paper (Heinze, 2024). In each composition, sample loops separated from stems of the original tracks are being played back using Risset rhythms based sampler abstractions. Events within the compositions are triggered by completed sub stream cycles of each sampler. On „Jaycee Jam Version“ of Ting, also manual triggers have been applied during recording.
