A multichannel delay network based on the lorenz system of equations, with an extra random twist, and presets with which you can play around. It is intended for live performance with a line input (guitar or other). berelay is entirely made in Pure Data and uses the externa libraries fd_lib and timbreID, both avaliable via Help>Find Externals.

berelays is a duo for electric guitar and a massively multichannel delay network controlled live. The movement of the strings of the guitar is replicated at different times and locations evidencing that the smallest possible action that the performer makes has gigantic, beautiful, dreadful, and inspiring consequences. The work can be adapted to either the Cube or the Perform Studio, and it has variable length. It is entirely made using the Pure Data graphic programming environment with a chaos-based delay network. berelay results from a collaboration between Berenice LLorens and fdch. All guitars performed by Bere.
