minerva is a granular generator for greating percussive sounds. there are 80 source wavelets for each channel, 40 short and 40 long. all short wave sources are velocity sensitive and all sources are pitch shiftable. each channel has a separate granular processor with pitch, size and rate paramters as well as random adjustors. finally a nice bitcrush rounds each channel off. white keys C-3 thru A-3 are the triggers. version 1.03 fixes several outstanding bugs.

Minerva McFearless stammt aus einer Familie von Monsterjägern, die seit Jahrhunderten den Kampf gegen das Böse führt. Als ihr Vater, Manfred McFearless, von Zarmaglorg, der grässlichsten, schrecklichsten Monsterbestie der Welt, entführt wird, macht sie sich auf, ihren Vater zu befreien. Ihre Begleiter sind ihr Bruder Max und Mr. Devilstone, der einäugige Kojote. Ihre einzigen Waffen: Miss Monstroklopädia, die sprechende, bissige Monsterenzyklopädie und ihre fabelhafte Furchtlosigkeit.

Johanna Gossner, a young clarinetist from Westendorf, and Damian Keller, her duo partner (accordion) will not only present their new programme “Danse Macabre” on November 2nd in Hopfgarten but also their first CD together.

Johanna and Damian have created an exciting programme featuring dances from all over the world and from different eras including Stravinsky’s tango, Dvorak’s Slavic dances, Yiddish, Oriental and Spanish dances and ,of course, Camille Saint-Saens’ “Danse macabre” which the programme was named after.
