DERIVA is an experimental audio effect built around discovery instead of preset browsing. Use Fracture to generate a temporary state, shape it across four Engines, then offer the active Fragment to the Keeper. Some enter your personal Archive; others disappear.

Press descriptions
DERIVA is an experimental audio effect for turning incoming audio into degraded textures, granular movement, spectral colour and spatial bloom. It has no factory presets. Instead, Fracture generates a temporary processing state across four Engines: Erosion, Scatter, Veil and Mirror. The result can be shaped, reordered and heard in context before it is offered to the Keeper. The user does not choose the outcome. The Keeper decides whether the Fragment is Preserved or Lost. Preserved states become Remnants in a personal Archive; Lost states disappear. This deliberate impermanence makes listening, commitment and discovery part of the instrument, while the Archive becomes a record of the sounds that held the user’s attention.

The workflow
Not a Save/Delete system. The uncertainty is the point.
- 01
Fracture
Generate a temporary processing state across DERIVA’s four Engines.
- 02
Shape
Adjust, reorder, mute or solo Erosion, Scatter, Veil and Mirror while listening in context.
- 03
Offer
Submit the active Fragment to the Keeper. From this point, the user no longer controls the outcome.
- 04
Preserved / Lost
The Keeper decides. Preserved states become Remnants in the Archive; Lost states disappear.
Impermanence is part of the instrument
A sound the user likes is not automatically guaranteed to remain available. That changes the act of browsing into listening, deciding and committing. Over time, each Archive develops differently because it contains only the states that survived the Keeper.
04
Processing Engines
Erosion
Saturation, damage and degradation for worn tone, pressure and destructive colour.
Scatter
Granular clouds and fragments that suspend, repeat and redistribute the source.
Veil
Filtering, resonance and spectral movement that hide, reveal and recolour detail.
Mirror
Shimmer, reverse bloom and wide ethereal space for reflected, expanding tails.
