shattersphere. made and recorded in real time with MaxForLive by @ableton + @cycling74 with @_syphon. soundtrack “places” by @shlohmo.
screen grab showing some @ableton M4L plugins I’m working on. thanks to @_syphon running running at 30fps even with the screen grab recording
Jackson killing my microphone at practice tonight, trying out some new kinect stuff with Leaves Russell
I put Yppah’s “Almost in That Category” behind this video from last month and it fit pretty well. No editing needed.
This grid source thing is very similar to how I use @mad_mapper (although this is on a much bigger scale).
So good. Deadline for this year’s festival is fast approaching, gotta get my application and demo video finished. Want to project on that building so bad…
Steve Reich + Ensemble Modern - Music for 18 Musicians (1976)
My favorite work mode music at the moment

- Shattersphere. Soundtrack is Shlohmo's "Places". Made using Ableton Live (MaxForLive) https://vimeo.com/42443810
- screen grab showing real time video generation within ableton live. running running at 30fps even with the screen grab recording going on (thanks to syphon) http://youtu.be/VczcX0dbM0M
- Building my own set of M4L visual devices. Running pretty smooth - this is 1280x800 (my projector resolution) @ 60fps
- here's a bunch of clips from practice tonight- real time coding is fun. we'll see what ends up in the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SzYUG2A5Ww&feature=youtu.be
- Jackson killing my microphone at practice with Leaves Russell. Don't miss our show at the Doug Fir on the 26th... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xkt3fPnxfY
- I put some music (Yppah - Almost In That Category) behind a video I made last month and it fit better than stuff that I've tried to sync up on purpose... http://vimeo.com/39248200
- new video, computer drawing https://vimeo.com/41964336
- another computer drawn sketch using flocking simulations
- computer sketch in progress
- Come on out to the Doug Fir on Saturday the 26th for an audio/visual show that's not to be missed! Leaves Russell is a great local band with a lush, dynamic sound that and I'll be accompanying them with live visuals. I'll be using a custom application that uses audio and MIDI from the band to drive some of the effects, looking forward to debuting some other new features as well...
- Excited to be doing visuals for Leaves Russell later this month at the Doug Fir. https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/117637?utm_medium=bks
- just submitted my application for the Kernel Festival - a projection mapping / electronic music festival in Italy at the end of June. I'm proposing an improvised electronic and visual set with King Britt. The whole festival is focused around projection mappings on a HUGE building outside Milan with 2x20k lumen projectors. Wish me luck! http://vimeo.com/41240233
- Every minute spent editing or manually rendering is a minute you could have spent learning to write code that does that stuff for you.
- youtube's encoding really isn't bad! going to have to revisit this on vimeo - this copy is pretty clean. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nubaKrX2gNY&feature=relmfu
- here's another new one, I'm a bit manic I guess... https://vimeo.com/40763312

- what if every isolated object was actually just where the continuous wave of that object poked through into our world? http://t.co/MDjyNiC4
- @billautomata never used that one, need to check it out. I think we both have a thing for creative simulations...
- @pixlpa more NDAs?
