GLITCH MACHINE is a tool designed to create rhythmic noise and audiovisual glitches.

The special thing about it? It's written entirely in HTML. No installation, no plugins, no setup. Just double click the file and you're ready in one second.

The interface is immediate — a 5-voice step sequencer with click, pulse, tone, sub and noise burst, each with its own independent pattern. You can build complex glitch rhythms or let it randomize everything in one click. The visual engine generates black and white geometries in real time, synchronized to the sound — data streams, flashes, scanlines, datamosh, all in the style of Ryoji Ikeda.

Exporting is effortless: record a 16-second buffer as 48kHz 24bit WAV, or capture the glitch visuals directly as HD video. Perfect for building sound libraries and noise video content without touching any other software.

To integrate it into your DAW you have two options. If you work with Max 9 and Ableton 12, you can load it directly into Max for Live using the jweb~ object — GLITCH MACHINE runs inside your set like a native device. Alternatively, use a virtual audio cable like VCable to route the audio into any DAW.

An experimental jam built from a fragment of musique concrète, reshaped through Fieldtone Weaver.

Crust provides the beat, sequenced by Bastl Kompas, with Beads adding glitchy movement and broken textures.

The Weaver voice goes into Desmodus Versio, and Crust’s ENV OUT is inverted and offset through Maths, then sent to XPAN to duck it.

Not exactly easy listening, but I liked the glitched-out beat against the textural sample.

Recorded live.
Hope you enjoy the trip 🪐

ASSEMBLY-7 is not a conventional drum machine or just another sequencer for Max/MSP.
It is an autonomous probabilistic machine built on a dual DSP architecture: Max/MSP handles sequencing and logic, while SuperCollider generates synthesis and sound processes via OSC.

The system includes 6 engines based on algorithmic synthesis and one dedicated advanced sampling engine, all operating inside an unstable polymetric environment with continuous drift and no true global reset. Each line runs with independent BPMs, lengths and phases: patterns slowly collapse, realign and deform over time, generating strange grooves, primitive rhythmic structures, but also textures, dense sonic masses and real percussive soundscapes.

With Tamburi Web you can load huge folders of WAV or AIFF files and the system will randomly distribute them across the available slots, transforming any sound archive into unstable rhythmic material. Field recordings, noise, concrete fragments, voices, metal anything can become part of the machine’s rhythmic geometry.

ASSEMBLY-7 can also record 10 stems simultaneously in a single pass: stereo master, 7 synth tracks and 2 separate sampler tracks, ready to be processed inside any DAW.

It is not a Max for Live device but more like a small autonomous generative DAW focused on rhythmic drift, stratification and continuous mutation.

If you are into unconventional polymeters, modular-style sequencing like Teletype/O_C, grooves emerging from controlled chaos and rhythmic systems that continuously evolve over time, take a look at ASSEMBLY-7.

This is only a brief description. To better understand how it works, explore all the features, watch the updated YouTube playlist and read the user reviews on Gumroad to see if it fits your practice, visit the website.
