The Soundhack Morphogene is a digital re-visioning and elaboration of the tape recorder as musical instrument. It takes its name from a little known, one of
a kind instrument, used by composer Pierre Schaeffer. While it is not an emulation, it does share the primitive, tactile nature of its namesake, and expands
upon the original concepts. It is informed by the worlds of Musique Concrète (where speed and direction variation were combined with creative tape splicing
to pioneer new sounds) and Microsound (where computers allow for sound to be divided into pieces smaller then 1/10 of a second, and manipulated like
sub-atomic particles). Having voltage control over every parameter, it is most dynamic as a digital audio buffer for the modular synthesist.
