Sjang

a (non)-destructive stochastic oscillator

“Therefore, we find ourselves in front of an attempt, as objective as possible, of creating an automated art, without any human interference except at the start, only in order to give the initial impulse and a few premises, like in the case of the Demiourgos in Plato’s Politicos, or of Yahweh in the Old Testament, or even of Nothingness in the Big Bang Theory.”
— Iannis Xenakis, Formalized Music

‘Sjang’ ([ʃɑŋ]) is a sound source that is loosly inspired on Iannis Xenakis’ concept of dynamic stochastic synthesis.
