monome by ioflow

soft photons from ioflow on Vimeo.


"lightbounce. generative. physics. electronica.

refmatrix generates midi notes when the ball hits an obstacle or wall. renoise sends the midi signals to the plugins, effects, and sounds. grid 1 is assigned to a filtered rhodes soundfont, grid 2 to lo-fi drumkit samples. copious amounts of reverb and calf vintage delay are layered over the instruments and tweaked throughout the track, using the nanokontrol.

ioflow + weldroid: light showers (electrified) from ioflow on Vimeo.


"this was originally a short solo piano improvisation i made one night:

soundcloud.com/​ioflow/​20110331-1

weldroid (weldroid.net) liked it enough to share with me his vision of the track, which was considerably re-amped and synth-fuzzed, and he gave my sketch a title: "light showers," which conjured up all kinds of awesome imagery. i liked his interpretation of the material enough to modify his stems, and then perform my modified version live, unrehearsed. it's even beatier and volt-warped than weldroid's arrangement, thus: "electrified."

ioflow > weldroid > ioflow > your eyes+ears

i used rove (docs.monome.org/​doku.php?id=app:rove) to perform this piece, on two monome 128s, which were joined into a single virtual 256 by griddle (github.com/​artfwo/​griddle). the top grid is my older secondhand kit-built 128, while the bottom grid is my new grayscale 128. its leds are actually very white; the camera gives them a pleasant blue tint.

the audio is available on soundcloud:
