Elias Goodman — Brooklyn, NY

I'm Elias, I make music and build tools for artists and their listeners. Right now I'm building doux, a counter-format argument against the heavily commoditized and easily reproducible recorded song.

doux

A music format that can't be played twice.

Finished stems, modulated live by whatever's actually happening around you. A blizzard over Brooklyn, the delayed L Train making you late for work, a match in progress. There's no canonical version. No master to license, nothing for a catalog fund to price as yield, nothing for a model to train on. What you just heard is gone.

Live environmental, financial, and sports data mapped onto a finished session in real time — through a Max for Live device that routes any stream to any parameter. Continuous data moves continuous parameters. Thresholds flip states. Events fire one-shots.

music from movementplaying around with using our own movement to compose unique musical works. today I'm working with running - pace, heart rate, cadence, and the route itself playing drums and slicing samples. gait turns a run, ride, or walk into a drum loop on your phone; biometric beats feeds the same training data into Ableton to augment your studio session. open call: if you train hard, get in touch to hear what yours sounds like.in progress
