Music experience takes place with different dynamics on each individual. In the most basic segment, the music experience can be pressed under 2 separate sub-headings according to certain situations. Processed sounds (instruments, machines, etc.) and natural sounds (wind, forest universe, etc.). In this case, "Dysmetria" aims at a complaint of the asymmetrical relationship between these two. Here, it is aimed to provide this contrast with certain electronic router tools. "Dysmetria" will be integrated with the call of the "Morus capensis" bird family in the forest universe through the traditional instrument "cello". To do this, the pitch range of the cello will be divided into 4 equal parts with the "~sigmund" object that is externally integrated into the Max software language. These sections will run 4 effect packs placed in the "Ableton live" effects rack, pre-created with the "live.path" object, according to the triggering of these intervals. The effects packages selected here will generally manipulate the echo and resonance values of the sounds. It will provide a transient effect with cuts to the cello sound, which is a very sustainable sound. At this point, by integrating the channel from which I received the sound input on "Ableton Live" to another sound channel, it will capture the values of another Max object, "~bonk", and the transient sounds that are not actually in the cello's sound but are formed thanks to the effects. As a result, the transient values we capture in effect cello sounds will be used to manipulate certain parameters. At this point, the processed and natural sound asymmetry will come into play. In this, "Transmutator" vst, which is the "cross-synthesis" tool developed by UnitedPlugins, will be used. The cello sound processed with this object and the call of the bird family "morus Capensis", the natural sound source, will be cross-synthesized. A subtype of the method implemented here is "sound morphing". The transient values of the processed cello sound will determine the value of this morph.
