You're spot on with Reaktor. I didn't use Pure Data in this project but did heavily implement that horrible looking, offline sound tool I've mentioned before called CDP. Most of the pads were using Alchemy.

For the live installment we had a 2.1 system so the stereo field wasn't all to waste, which is good. And yeah, there was a large amount of granular synthesis in this piece. I've only really just started exploring its potential so perhaps I got carried away. Are there any particular moments where you would say it becomes obviously overpowering or saturated? Or is it more just the piece as a whole? I've also been made aware that I sometimes use the same type of reverb too much. I'm trying to work on that but my petering 2009 Macbook Pro cries at my projects already.

We approached this in quite a unique way. I gave the visual guy one minute of music initially which he followed to produce the first minute of animation. Then he went on and did an extra minute which I then followed before going on to do an extra minute of my own desire. A kind of relay, push and pull type deal, so we both contributed to the creative lead. That approach, combined with the very short time frame, did leave us with some asynchronous areas. Like you mentioned, the glitchy stuff especially.

But yeah, thanks for the feedback! I will get a Kyma set-up when I someday get my first paycheck.
