Grains Threshold was developed to create an autonomous, almost infinite "granular" soundscape in its real-time processing of grain(s), a strange, ecosystem of electronic grains and phrases, an hauntology akin to the instrument itself. Grains Threshold is also featured (among other patches) in a piece for classical guitar and electronics, commissioned by the h[t]Duo of Milan.
This patch works in real time. It is a kind of strange, self-sufficient, yet controlled dreamlike mechanism that reacts to the audio impulses created by the instrumentalist (or input source). Sometimes it acts as impulsive responses (rev), responding harmonically with varied and instantaneous textures, from very long to very brief, depending on the intensities produced by the instrumentalist. A dreamlike mechanism, like a canopy of grains surrounding the sounds of the input source.
