Precision instruments for sound.

A series of corrupted audio tools — Max for Live, plugins, utilities — by Disektor.

● LIVE

01 / THE LAB

DISEKTOR // ARTIFACTS builds Max for Live devices and audio tools for Ableton Live — free and premium modulators, sequencers, and utilities.

DISEKTOR // ARTIFACTS is the audio instruments arm of Disektor — a Moroccan producer, creative coder, and founder of Geometric Corruption Records.

We build precision tools — Max for Live devices, plugins, and audio utilities — engineered with the same care as surgical instruments. Each one designed for a specific cut. Each one as sharp as the work it has to do.

Nothing leaves the Lab that hasn't been used in a real session first.

03 / THE MAKER

DISEKTOR // ARTIFACTS is built by Disektor — Mhamed Mansouri — a Moroccan producer and creative coder based in Casablanca. His work sits at the intersection of digital abstraction and organic texture: glitch-laden maximalism meeting emotive melodic layers.

The instruments here come out of that practice. Every Lab artifact has been used in a real session before it left the bench.

The full story — releases, AV performances, label work with Geometric Corruption Records — lives on the artist site.
