"Impressions from our local RC airfield, collected over various summer days.
Video and music (c) 2009 Josef Jahn Equipment used: Roland Fantom G6, Access Virus TI, Korg KP3, Machinedrum, and a webcam ;)"
"The track was sequenced entirely on the Fantom, drums are Fantom (*coughpresetpatternscough*) and Machinedrum, bread'n'butter sounds are Fantom (I love the EP), Lead synths are via Virus TI. Entire track was done in under 4 hours thanks to the gods of quantizing and the extremely slick sequencer workflow on the Roland."

Seeper - Pi, Interactive Installation, 2008


YouTube via MediaArtTube
"Arts and technology collective seeper baked a giant interactive Pi for the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. The filling being the audience.
They asked: If there is no beginning and no end, then what? their answer Pi, Pie or a circle? In this instant a 16 metre round Big Top tent in the festivals Trash City area, that responds to the motion of the people within it.
Standing inside the Pi people were tracked by cameras and saw a silhouette of themselves on the walls of the space. As they moved photons, plasmas and other particles radiated from them and were sent flying around the space. Their movement also controlled sound as one of a series of instruments. Scratching a beat, playing a bass or strumming strings made the audience not only the filling but also the players, conductors and composers of their own collective Pi.

"neither I nor Flickering Lights ( docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=app:flickering_lights ) are dead,
in fact, the new version is coming along very nicely.
just wanted to show you some of the new stuff

the front monome only displays the wavemap, not the steps - could be useful for live visuals
also, longer notes are finally possible
+ notice how i cut a note in half at 00:21

"This is the Xylobot, our submission for the Berlin Music Hack Day, held on September 18-20 at Radialsystem V.
A custom Java app receives midi data from the step sequencer and controls the Arduino over a serial connection.
The board then triggers the servos to hit on the xylophone.
The whole construction was built in under 24 hours and is mostly made of hot glue and wood.

Made by Ramsey Arnaoot and myself

Native Instruments The Finger vs Richard Devine from Richard Devine on Vimeo.


"Here is a little experiment I tried using Tim Exile's new Finger Plug-in with Logic 9. I was running some of my drums on a track in Logic's Flex mode, slightly drawing in graphic tempo changes, and automating all the parameter twist knobs drastically, while programming every MIDI parameter I could assign on the piano roll editor, Doing more then my two hands could do=) Just letting it all go crazy. Some strange interesting results indeed. =)"

BBC Archive Tomorrow's World Moog Synthesiser


YouTube via Synthasy2000
"Synopsis

In this report from a longer programme, Derek Cooper introduces the Moog synthesiser, an instrument that can produce a variety of noises and arrangements, both mimicking real instruments and creating new sounds, all electronically.

Did you know?

Developed by Dr Robert Moog, the Moog synthesiser evolved from a kit known as a Voltage-Controlled Electronic Music Module, which Moog demonstrated in prototype form in 1964. The first production models emerged in 1967, accompanied by a sample record of music composed by Walter Carlos (later Wendy Carlos, after her sex-change operation in 1972). It was Carlos's 1968 album 'Switched-On Bach' that catapulted Moog-produced music into popular culture, though examples of music made on the synthesiser had already been released by The Doors, The Monkees and Simon & Garfunkel, among others.

BILLY CORGAN'S ICHABOD - A MATTSON MINI MODULAR - ONE NOTE ORCHESTRA - DEVIL'S TOWER


YouTube via redmartian
"This one was done back on the test bench. I wanted to make a morphing polyphonic sound that could be played with a single note. There is a part that is chromatic part that is played first and then step glided later. I believe I only used 6 oscillators with a mixture of various wave forms using the Voltage Controlled Control Voltage mixer for movement.

The picture was taken at Devil's Tower Wyoming."

Motiquencer of the Untenable Equilibrium Analog Compulsor


YouTube via RadiPho
"Initial testing of the Motiquencer ... a 4 separate 16 step sequencers, sequencer... each sequencer has an input to control up/down, hold, reset, step advance. It is built with discrete CMOS logic and as one may see in this video, is entirely 100% hand wired ... 100's of wires flying every where!. The front panel, as with most the rest of the synth, is completely unlabeled and was drilled by hand with a hand drill so that the rows and columns of jacks and pots waver and wobble from any ideal of symmetrical precision."

Victoria Vesna - Cell Ghost, Bio Art Installation 2004/05


YouTube via MediaArtTube

"This work captures the viewer moving through space with a live camera, with their image projected in particles that is stored in memory and appear later as a ghost. The person passing by also activates text. The ambient sounds are a composition of data derived from manipulating live biological cells. The piece was originally conceived site specifically for an exhibition held at the former Seodaemun prison in Seoul, Korea.

eodaemun Prison(Hyongmuso), which is located at 101, Hyonjo-dong, seodaemun-gu, Seoul, was built during the japan's occupation at the end of Taehan Empire, and it served as a major site of oppression during their forced colonization. For almost 80 years, it has stood as a living monument of our ordeal, and grief in the tumultuous times of modem Korean history.

When japanese occupid our nation by force, they unveiled their wild ambition to launch a full scale invasion into the continent by using our land as a bridgehead. At that time, they found it necessary to build a prison to house the numerous patriotic martyrs who fought against their invasion was begun in 1907 near Tongnimmun (Independence Gate), which was estabilshed as a symbol of independence during the period of Taehan Empire.

Poem:
Prisons of our minds unlocked by the power of love.
Ghosts of suffering from the past haunt these spaces now.
Waiting for the key to open the door to the future.
Bars of steal dissolved by the heart.

Cell Sounds
Professor James Gimzewski with PhD student Andrew Pelling at the Pico lab, UCLA first made the discovery that yeast cells oscillate at the nanoscale in 2002. Amplifying this oscillation results in a sound that lies within the human audible range. "Sonocytology", the suggested term for this cutting edge field of study, represents a new realm of challenge and potential for scientists, artists, and in particular for musicians. The tool with which the cell sounds are extracted - the atomic force microscope (AFM) - can be regarded as a new type of musical instrument. Unlike microscopes that use optical imaging, the AFM "touches" a cell with its small tip, comparable to a record needle "feeling" the bumps in a groove on a record. With this interface, the AFM "feels" oscillations taking place at the membrane of a cell. These electrical signals can then be amplified and distributed by speakers. Manipulating the cell with chemicals will result in a change of oscillation. Isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) for example, will change a "singing cell" into a "screaming cell". And a chemical such as sodium azide will kill the cell, causing the emitted frequency to die away, leaving only noise.

Victoria Vesna and James Gimzewski - Blue Morph, Intercative Installation / Nano Art, 2008


"Blue Morph is an interactive installation that uses nanoscale images and sounds derived from the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

Nanotechnology is changing our perception of life and this is symbolic in the Blue Morpho butterfly with the optics involved -- that beautiful blue color is not pigment at all but patterns and structure which is what nano-photonics is centered on studying. The lamellate structure of their wing scales has been studied as a model in the development of fabrics, dye-free paints, and anti-counterfeit technology such as that used in monetary currency. Blue Morpho has intrigued scientists for generations because of its subtle optical engineering that manipulated photons. Today, its dazzling iridescent wings are giving rise to a market trying to mimic its wonder and create a counterfeit proof currency and credit cards. The optics are no doubt fascinating but the real surprise is in the discovery of the way cellular change takes place in a butterfly. Sounds of metamorphosis are not gradual or even that pleasant as we would imagine it. Rather the cellular transformation happens in sudden surges that are broken up with stillness and silence. Then there are the eight pumps or "hearts" that remain constant throughout the changes, pumping the rhythm in the background. During the transformation to emergence each flattened cell of the wing becomes a nanophotonic structure of black protein and space leading to iridescence.

Nano is not only making the invisible visible but also changing our way of relating to "silence" or making the in-audible audible. With all the noise of chattering technologies and minds, we propose the interactivity to be stillness for in this empty space of nano we can get in touch with the magic of continuous change. But most of all we embrace the absurd and in a surge of laughter recognize our limited human viewpoints.

In collaboration with Gil Kuno, Sarah Cross
Production: Shaun Westbrook, Tyler Adams, Laura Hernandez
