Exploring the capacity of max as a digital platform for the production of noise music

Noise music is a genre of music that uses unconventional sounds in performances. In Malaysia,many performers use the analogue approach including instruments such as guitar pedals,contact microphones and metal objects to perform noise music. The analogue approach limitsthe possibilities of composing...
