Heeeell yeaaaah !!!
Moi j'ai un peu chialé mais c'est parce que je suis dans une période sensible.
SBAM is featured on CDM đđđ
Thank you so much!!! â€ïž
Be kind to yourself
Hahem...
Being tired is probably because I should sleep better.

AI is the war tool of the age of disbelief. And not to believe in art and craft is to believe in nothing (because what's left if not the spaghetti god or the pink unicorn?).
I just read your article about it, I never knew it existed. Well, that could be a nice challenge!
SBAM.ouseOnMars. Kind of. Get SBAM on my Gumroad or Patreon. Support tiny artist/dev and make music with a fun device! #M4L #maxforlive #ableton #abletonlive #maxmsp
That's it! I released SBAM, my first Max for Live instrument! đ You can get it on Gumroad or Patreon (link in bio -> Linktree). Feel free to share the news â€ïž SBAM is at it's core a Sampler sequencer. It's an infinite source of inspiration and a fun toy to play with. #maxmsp #abletonlive
What could possibly go wrong? (211 billion given to companies while the French government wants to freeze or reduce social benefits). Meanwhile, I'm modulating an instance of SBAM with another instance of SBAM.

Hip hop break demonstration. The Amen Break is universal! I'm still adding more features and also cleaning! Envelopes and Stretch are way better, I've enhanced the UI and I added a transient shaper sequencer lane! I also added some very useful options.

Je ne peux pas lire l'article, mais les limites de l'IA ne seront elles pas le tarissement des sources ? Parce que si plus personne ne fait de contenu, oĂč vont elles se nourrir ?

We all have to live with our curses after all... #maxforlive #sounddesign
I'm nearly done with it! Expect a release very soon. I'm really happy with the result, it might be more powerful than my Falcon version. #m4l #maxforlive #maxmsp #ableton #abletonlive #electro
TLDR perso du stream FAQ Stunfest d'hier : - 3 jours de festival : 24, 25, 26 octobre - prix pas encore fixé mais clairement moins que les derniÚres éditions - Lieu : maison des associations + 4bis - jauge : 2000 personnes à la fois - pas d'espace extérieur mais une buvette dedans 1/2
Mood: wild swing I added a new sequencer: swing and sequencers shape. These are adding more sequencing madness to SBAM! Btw, I'm totally assuming that this is an instrument made to generate accidents. I'm doing my best to make it reliable but hey, ain't surprise more fun?! #abletonlive #m4l
That's strange because I think this is happening in France right now.
Yeees!!! I just implemented polymeter and polyrhythm. Play the sequencers in two fashion: one will play the steps in the time of the resolution, on, the beat, one will fit the steps in the resolution loop, making more complex beats. #abletonlive #ableton #max4live #M4L #maxforlive #maxmsp
Hardcore
Violent! 20 bornes comme ça pépouze
âbackroomsâ and âliminal spacesâ are the defining horror format for a generation who saw the facades of capitalism crumble to reveal the emptiness within
MAD! SBAMAD. Batch edit, easy to mess everything, yeeeeees! Starting to be crazy with this one. Last steps are a bit tough and it's awesome! #maxmsp #M4L #maxforlive #ableton #abletonlive
What is love? Love is SBAM! New pattern sequencing from notes. #maxmsp #maxforlive #m4l #abletonlive #ableton #love
P A T T E R N S (And engine power + fx chain modulation from SBAM, my soon to be released M4L super sampler slicer) #ableton #abletonlive #m4l #maxforlive #maxmsp

Debug be like:
Some time learning JS. Interesting. New Stretch Engine and Envelopes. #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #AbletonLive #M4L #MaxForLive
Btw, SBAM means Slice Beat Amen Mangler. Still a lot to do. #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #AbletonLive #M4L #MaxForLive
No, I mean, to provide a talk if you make the event again ?
Wow, dope! How to apply for the next sessions?
Finally some time to progress on SBAM, my first M4L instrument. Itâll be a 4 samples super slicer sequencer with some fun features. Inspired by my UVI Falcon script I made 3 years ago. #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #AbletonLive #M4L #MaxForLive
Oh hey thank you for the mention ! See you Thursday night at Addon ?
Mix Universe now has an ACTUAL UNIVERSE and I am so stoked about it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRl1... Please share this! #gaming #UnrealEngine #gamedev
Thatâs it! My second Ableton Live game is released! Itâs super clumsy and experimental but I strongly believe that thereâs some fun to have with it, even perhaps some musical inspirations? Get it for free on my patreon (link in bio) #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #AbletonLive
It might exist somewhere for sure!
It's not really... But I added the option to reduce the moving stuff and the speed. It's less frantic.
I added a craziness gauge and it's better for epilepsy. Iâm nearly ready to release this fun experience!!! Fully control the game with Ableton Live. You can't play this game without Ableton haha! #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive
Ok, it was a bit longer. I discovered how to send and receive a whole lot of informations from Live to Unreal with LOM, and my mind is melting! Iâll release this version in a few days, and make a lot of other stuff afterwards. #UE5 #Ableton #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive
Just the control sheet
Je ne crois pas. Les informations nécessitant du temps pour l'analyse n'étant de toute façons pas traitées par les médias. Enfin, lire le petit texte de feu Monsieur Swartz.
Un conseil : ne vous informez plus. L'information viendra à vous de toutes façons. Aaron Swartz. www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatet...
Thank you â€ïž
i just published... "Why making art matters: We no longer have a type of industry where we can chase financial success. We can only sustainably fail." www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/mak... about sustainable alternatives to existing in the game industry, and the positive impact of failure. #GameDev
One last footage before the release on next week! Messy but fun. I canât wait to see what people will compose to play and how they will actually play! #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive
Thank you!! I'm having a lot of fun doing this ^^
Iâm polishing the Ableton second game. Now, a whole lot of options for playback and a lot of polish: feedback to Ableton, more Ableton binding in the game etc. Itâs pretty fun to play! #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive #M4L
đ Well, pretty much of what you see here is controlled by Ableton. I'll build a version of the game this week (I hope) to share with people!
I decided to let the player choose to control the ship with Ableton. Hereâs the Amen Break controller!!!! #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive
This is a fun project! It now has a kind of a proper gameplay. Designing a game with Ableton as controller is pretty exciting but also very challenging! #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #AbletonLive
Haha yes!!! Hereâs a preview of the second Ableton game experience! A game where you control gameplay and visuals with Ableton Live. Thank you so much to my friend Skanou for the help on these bloody rotations đ€ #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev
Excellent! Pour l'exposition, n'oubliez pas les expérimentateurs !
I made a bunch of factory presets for it. Perfect timing to match the extreme emotions I'm currently living with! Go get it!
Look at these two guys. The paradox of being the most powerful and dangerous people in the world and at the same time the most ridiculous, vulgar and stupid duo! What a weird South Park IRL situation.
Thatâs it! You can get my mini game controllable with Ableton for free on my Patreon! (www.patreon.com/posts/live-g...) Please, share and give me some feedback here or on Patreon :) #digitalart #UE5 #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine #IndieGameDev #IndieGame
What is love? No work on the LiveGame project this week because this question is way too much important. But you can hear some distortion from a new audio plugin for which I made presets. Release next week!
Nice!
I'm actually using the Osc unreal stock plugin and simple M4L devices. I don't even know what is Link lol
A two-way bridge between Ableton and Unreal! I think I'll share this mini game tomorrow for free on my Patreon. Are you up for it?! #digitalart #UE5 #MaxMsp #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine
Not much time today, but enough to work on some environment stuff, stairs, and system. What will be really fun when I'll share the game will be what the people will compose in order to play the game. I LOVE the idea!!!! #UnrealEngine5 #ableton #indiegamedev
Bam, this is brilliant!
Okay! The first step for my mini games controllable with Ableton! Midi will control all kinds of stuff. Here, it's platform movements and lights. This is super exciting! I might release one game a week on my Patreon :) #UnrealEngine5 #ableton #indiegamedev
That was fun! Still testing bridges between Ableton and Unreal Engine 5. I might build an app so youâd be able to play with your own Ableton session :) You can support me on Patreon, that would help me make this a reality. #digitalart #UE5 #MaxMsp #Ableton #ElectronicMusic #UnrealEngine
Yo! I gotta take control of my life. My vocation is to be a music video game artist, but first and foremost to be a teacher. If you want to learn Unreal Engine from an experimental perspective, I'm here! More on my Patreon! (Video from this morning course, nothing fancy) patreon.com/tomavatars
@iammachinegirl.bsky.social a remix by the mighty Tom aka Squarepusher?! You might be kidding me! open.spotify.com/track/4swm24...
Thanks! It's a bit like a mantra or something like this. There's transcendence. I already participated...10 years ago!
Times are tough for me. To boost my confidence, I'm sharing with you all the tracks I did last year for Weekly Beats! 50 in all, one a week. Enjoy and feel free to comment/share! weeklybeats.com/tomavatars

#jamuary2025 - Day 23 I worked on different RNBO stuff for a few days and I made this new sampler/slicer/akaiser instrument! Iâm pretty happy with it but I still need to work hard on the Unreal implementation. ââââââ #ElectronicMusic #IndieGameDev #digitalart #UE5 #MaxMsp #RNBO
No jam today, but the basis of my Akaiser time stretch! #sounddesign #gameaudio #maxmsp
About Musk: he just want you to react, it's a media strategy. With this gesture, he aims to divide, he aims to mess with the meanings of things. It's 1984. Don't feed the troll!

Si jamais tu fais un groupe les Lunes du JV, je suis partant pour ĂȘtre dedans ! Merci pour ton groupe en tout cas.
Musk goes to heil⊠This man is definitely one of the most dangerous on earth.
#jamuary2025 - Day 20 I made a clap patch. I was working on it since a few days, along with some Max systemic abstractions. I missed a few jams, sorry for this. ââââ The Amen Variations is a game in development â Link in bio â Wishlist! #ElectronicMusic #IndieGameDev #digitalart #SoundDesign #UE5
I made fun scripts for UVI Falcon. The API is not the greatest though but the instrument is đ tomavatars.gumroad.com
đ beautiful short tribute
Nifflas nailed it again! Woohoo!!!
Finally yes!!! I love the concept and can't wait to try! Any testing needs?
Rip Mr Lynch.
@drewdaniel.bsky.social this is for dream girl đ
Nope ! All is good
#jamuary2025 - Day 16 Hereâs a Hit Em track! Also played with in game post processes. Improving Sidechain and mix. Nice dark track. The Amen Variations is a game in development â Link in bio â Wishlist! #UnrealEngine #ElectronicMusic #IndieGameDev
No bus this morning. Good old hitchhiking to go to work at the House of Video Games!
#jamuary2025 - Day 14 I'm playing with FX modulations. I've never tried that before, it's fun! I've also made a sidechain system!!! Wishlist on Steam! Link in Bio #UnrealEngine #ElectronicMusic #IndieGameDev
I've updated my Patreon! I'm now proposing private tuition focused on learning interactive music in Unreal Engine (or not), general Unreal Engine learning, and sound design. Support and sharing would be a great help. Thank you!! patreon.com/tomavatars #unrealengine #patreon #indiegamedev #gameaudio
#jamuary2025 - Day 14 Made another RNBO kick patch today. Simple one, based on the 909. Only using this one here. #unrealengine #indiegamedev
#jamuary2025 - Day 13 Playing with strange polyrhythms again and oh, some volumetric fog! What do you think of it? #unrealengine #indiegamedev
Rhythm Doggo is more unique
Measure Head totally
Trop cool!
#jamuary2025 - Day 12 Playing with polyrhythms :) #unrealengine #indiegamedev
#jamuary2025 - Day 11 I added some feature to debug, like playing sequence after sequence instead of all together at once + showing more snares. #unrealengine #indiegame #electronicmusic #maxmsp
#jamuary2025 - Day 10 I made a 909-style snare drum patch. I love it! RNBO is so cool! #unrealengine #indiegame #electronicmusic #maxmsp
