Sylvain Stoppani has announced the third iteration of the ECLO.RE concept. Expanding on the ECLO.RE PLAYER interactive series, ECLO.RE/GEN has evolved into a specialized environment and powerful tool for radical re-arrangement. It moves beyond conventional composition to offer a “mini-DAW” experience where the goal is to shatter existing structures and reconstruct them into singular, futuristic audio narratives.
Built within the Reaktor 6 environment, it transforms your stems and loops into radical, non-linear patterns where mechanical failure becomes the groove.
While modern AI aims to imitate human logic, ECLO.RE/GEN celebrates the unpredictable. It is a dedicated platform for Structural Deconstruction. It doesn’t just play your tracks; it “knits” them, allowing you to sculpt something entirely new where digital clock malfunctions and rhythmic “collapsing” create hypnotic, futuristic momentum. This is « audio impressionism ».
ECLO.RE/GEN features
- Dynamic Recomposition: Use a dual-looper architecture (Instant & Micro-Gesture) to generate “non-metric” rhythms and chaotic breaks that bounce back on themselves.
- Playhead & Cue Manipulation: Take total control of time with 8 playable cue points per track. Real-time offset shifting and quantized grid-snapping allow you to jump, stutter, and play your waveforms like an instrument.
- Surgical Sound Design: Equipped with a high-end DSP chain including FFT Autotune (24 scales), Spectral Resynthesis, and a commutable FX slot (Spring, Resonator, Space, Mod Delay, Distortion).
- Human Gesture vs. Linear Logic: Record manual “Punch-In” triggers on the fly. Capture the physical, unquantized energy of your performance and loop it instantly.
- Meta-Sequencing (The Arranger): Instead of sequencing notes, you sequence “States” (Snapshots). Use the 16-slot Arranger to instantly program a full scenario of snapshots.
- The “Populate” Engine: Don’t spend hours programming variations—generate them in seconds. Instantly generate massive banks of up to 127 unique snapshots. With a few clicks, the engine “takes pictures” of randomized states, providing an infinite source of evolution.
- Cyberpunk Aesthetics: A completely updated 3D audio-reactive system provides real-time visual feedback, with shaders and scopes that respond to every micro-glitch and MIDI pulse.
Priced €89 EUR, ECLO.RE/GEN includes two LP albums (“A Mind Forever Voyaging” and “A Thousand Space Cadet Fragments & Cuts”) and a massive library of raw material from curated sources, including everything from live improvisations to boutique OP-1 Field recordings.
ECLO.RE/GEN is more than a performance engine; it is a massive interactive archive. You are inheriting a curated library of 222 minutes—exactly 3 hours and 42 minutes—of high-definition audio across three distinct banks.
Whether you are deconstructing the two full albums or diving into the 146 minutes of raw improvisations and boutique recordings in the User version, this vast sea of textures ensures your generative journeys are practically infinite.
