Angkasa: A software tool for spatiotemporal granulation

Abstract

We introduce a software tool for performing Spatiotemporal Granulation called Angkasa, which allows a user to independently granulate space and time, through the use of spatially encoded signals. The software is designed to be used as a creative tool for composition, real-time musical instrument, or as an analytical tool. The current iteration of Angkasa provides an interface for analysis and synthesis of both spatial and temporal domains. Additionally, we present a brief theoretical overview of Spatiotemporal Granulation, and outline the possible, and potential manipulations that could be realized through this technique.
