Laurent Mialon’s generative interactive sound design ready to play for you. ( For Pack 1, you will need the Live 10 and Cosmosƒ M31, and for Pack 2 you will need the Live 11 Suite and Cosmosƒ M31 )
Ask any cultured raver about La Peste, and they will bow to the uncompromising power of Laurent Mialon’s project. Started in 1998, it has always represented one of the most radical sides of hard experimental techno in its overall psychedelic intensity, integrating elements of power electronics, complex polyrhythms, electroacoustic soundscapes and a constant research for the ultimate energy eruption.
Never putting any boundaries to the sheer heaviness of his music, la peste has managed to find extreme beauty within its anhilating potential, expanding chaos to the boundaries of ecstatic experience. La Peste vivisects rave mechanics to reach their pulsing core, then reassembles it in new weird ways. He also managed to build up around himself a community of like-minded sound forgers by releasing their music on his label Hangars Liquides, one of the most influential and radical outputs of the rave age.
In 2019 he was selected by the Royal School of Arts in London to represent the avant-garde in music, for the official second edition of the Cybernetic Serendipity compilation, which also celebrates also the 50th birthday of the Computer Arts society. Listen to his submission here.
He is the owner of a constantly evolving modular system since more 15 years, and has been working with Max for Live since it was ported on Ableton’s Live.
These Ableton Live Template sets can be considered as a shared platform project dedicated to generative music centered around the powerful and unique CosmosfM31 and MBot plugins and the Live Suite eco-system.
You are free to use / modify / study them for your projects.
Each La Peste / Live set is a self contained project file, including all the sound generating instruments, effect processing plugins and other tools embedded, sound designs included, tweaked and balanced along with the immense experience of Laurent on this field and the Live eco-system.
Cosmosf M31 and MBot plugins are stochastic midi event generators which interact together and establish the communication between multiple DAW tracks, which makes them unique and a distributed force for generative soundscape rendering.
Laurent’s expertise programming on Cosmosf M31 and the use of various MBots at the same time showcases a generative sound installation spread among the various tools being used on the same Ableton Live set.
This makes the DAW acting an as organic object and each tool serving as a body part of it within the interaction imposed through the Cosmosƒ M31 and Mbots, the brain part of this body.
sonicLAB is proud to present the Laurent Mialon Live Pack, which goes beyond a usual plugin preset bank format. Also we believe that it is of a great pedagogical value delivering a direct contact to the artists techical work, imagination and methodology.
This bundles comes with many Live Template sets, all you need is an Ableton Live 10 for Pack 1 and Live 11 Suite for Pack 2 (with M4L ) and the Cosmosƒ M31 / MBot plugins.
Additionally you might need to install some free VST’s but all these instructions are included in detail for each Live set.
sonicLAB offers all the income directly to the artist and we thank you in advance for supporting this project.
