IRIN

IRIN is a Granular/Micromontage Max/MSP standalone application designed by Carlos Caires to enable the sequencing, spatialization, and editing of sound sequences on a multilevel approach. IRIN lets one encapsulate samples within figures and figures within meso-structures and represent them as a single fragment, permitting a hierarchical building up of the composition.

This project has been in development for many years, starting with Max 4 back in 2004, and went through many updates and improvements until today (under Max 8). IRIN is currently available for MacOs and Windows.

IRIN  has been presented by its developer in many schools, Universities and studios around the world (oral presentations and practical workshops with students and academics), namely at Lisbon Superior School of Music, Lisbon Nova University , Aveiro University, Porto Engineering Faculty, Centre de recherche Informatique et Création Musicale – Paris, Conservatoire Nationale de Musique et Danse de Lyon, Sibelius Academy – Helsinky, Shanghai conservatory of Music, Centro Tempo Reale – Florence,  University of Manitoba, University of California – Santa Barbara, Iowa University, amongst others.
