Nearing the end

Well! We're getting to the end here. Is it one more class until the final show? Maybe not even?
I don't know if we're ready to play a gig yet. That's ok though, it will be a learning experience for everyone I think.
I think that all in all I have enjoyed this class and gotten a fair amount out of it. It has forced me to use pd a lot this semester and I've come up with a couple patches im actually proud of. All in all it's been fun hanging out with Andrew, Cory, Alex, Jennie and Adam every monday. i think i might do av performance 415... but i might wait until 4th year to do it.

Thanks!

-greg
ps: there will be at least one more post after the final show.

Andrew's point on monday...

Andrew made an awesome and valid point on monday.

Yes. the possibilities with a laptop ork are endless.
However. if we dont narrow it down to one possibility and master that, then we will always suck.


nice work andrew.
so, lets, maybe, figure out everyone's sounds on monday and roll with that? try to play like that?


that's basically what we talked about on monday.

Collab with Drawing Students

It was fun. It was interesting to try and work with 6 other students and get a common direction. They turned out to be very cool and talented people though and I'm very glad to have met them all...


...durrrr...
not my most eloquent moment.

Yearrrg.

Im tired as a maw fugga. I dont have a new patch for tomorrow. I have some ideas floating around. I am not super stoked about the class right now. I am not super stoked about life right now.
Why is cool generative music so fucking hard to make?!
Im fucking tired of pd.

*sigh*
...it will all be better in the morning.

here are some patches im working on:
beat.testshiat.zip

i hope to make something out of this pack sound even kind of remotely cool by next week. and also make something we can all interact with over the network. maybe have everyone effecting different probabilities or lengths or something. i dont know.

(this is for my guitar hero controller thaang... not really new but i finally got it working the way i wanted it to in the past couple weeks so i thought i'd upload. i use it with ableton by sending midi through "maple midi" [which you can find here: http://www.digifreq.com/digifreq/discuss/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3099 i guess it's only for windows.. sorry!] but you can use it with anything if you have a virtual midi thing)


cheers!
