Silt Silt Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz and feldspar. Silt may occur as a soil (often mixed with sand or clay) or as sediment mixed in suspension with water (also known as a suspended load) and soil in a body of water such as a river. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body, like mudflows from landslides. Silt has a moderate specific area with a typically non-sticky, plastic feel. Silt usually has a floury feel when dry, and a slippery feel when wet.
Granular synthesis possible. Greek composer Iannis Xenakis is known as the inventor of the granular synthesis technique. Canadian composer Barry Truax was one of the first to implement real-time versions of this synthesis technique. "Granular synthesis has been implemented in different ways, notably by the Canadian composer Barry Truax." There are now many dedicated devices available for exploring granular synthesis without using a computer. Many of these devices are in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format, such as: Granular synthesis Granular synthesis is a basic sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale. It is based on the same principle as
