BugNews - September -> WOM events and Auctions
via Tom bugs on the BugBrand mailing list:
"Hi All,
Last time I wrote I was just beginning the move to new premises. It has been a big shift, but things really are coming together now and I'm finally getting back to some regular work. I'm quite aware that there is still not much 'available' (whether standalone devices or modular) at the moment, but I'm trying to get things properly geared up for some new bits before the end of the year. I've also got a few WOM events coming up and given the number of requests I've had for kits, I'll certainly be making some more available - more below..
So here are a few bits of news:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
*** 1 - WOM events & kits ***
In October I have two days at STEIM in Amsterdam holding classes to build the Workshop Oscillator Machine kits.
The dates are Monday 11th October and Tuesday 12th October, each day between 10am & 4pm and costing 85euro per kit,
Spaces are already filling up (15 per day), so if you're interested do book soon via their website.
There will also be a small show/talk on the Tuesday evening after the workshop.
There will finally be a local Bristol WOM event in November at the Arnolfini.
This one is on Saturday 6th November between 11am and 5pm and costs £50 to attend.
Again this is limited to 15 places, so please book well in advance via the Arnolfini Booking Office.
Since I last did any WOM events I've had a constant trickle of requests to make more WOM kits available. Finally I'm pulling my finger out and will soon be offering some WOM-PRO kits - the same as the regular events kits but with improved potentiometers (dials) like on the Board/Postcard Weevils. The first lot of these should be ready in a month or so, probably around the time of the STEIM events. Of course, I'll do a mailout when these kits are going to be available.
WOM infos
*** 2 - Auctions ***
Two items of note coming up in the next couple of days:::
i) After the Ebay auctions of last month, I've got one more item - a really nice 1Frame BugBrand Modular setup with Joystick Controller!
Lots of info about it is included in the listing - [link - and captured in this post]
The auction finishes on Thursday 23rd at about 4.40pm (UK time)
ii) Then on Saturday 25th there is the wonderful & worthy 'Great Art Jumble' just down the road at Bristol's Cube Cinema. This is a fund-raiser for the Haiti Kid's Kino Project.
You can read more about it on their blog: http://nanoplex.cubecinema.com/blog/ and there's a whole load of people donating items for the auction. I've dug out an old Weevil Frame (from 2005) so do pop along if you're interested - the event takes place from Midday to 5pm and entry is free!
*** 3 - the New Place***
If you're interested, you can see some development pics on this MuffWiggler thread: http://muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21012
*********************************************
So, in essence --> more news next month!
Best wishes & cheers,
Tom"

Filth/Dubstep Siren/Synth
YouTube via iowanchef | August 21, 2010
"Inspired by the classic Crackle Box (or "Kraakdoo") and Dub Siren circuits, these synths are based on a 4093 Quad NAND chip with metal foil tape creating the "keys." An interpretation of the example given in the book Handmade Electronic Music, I find the sounds created in this fashion match up quite well with some of the rougher, uglier dubstep varietals; filth, gore, etc."

Franck Smith solo performance @ STEIM, Amsterdam (2009)
YouTube via odiolorgnette
"Franck Smith solo performance at STEIM, Amsterdam, December 17th, during "Patterns & pleasure" event — mixing adapted turntable drumming and scratching technics on Handsonic HPD-15 w/ video-game esthetic and real-time electronic beat-making (No loops and no sequencer used here) IF POSSIBLE USE HEADPHONES WHEN VIEWING VIDEO MATERIAL OR CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER TO A QUITE DECENT SOUND SYSTEM.
........................................
Rehearsals for Franck Smith @ STEIM's "Patterns & pleasure" event (2009)
The STEIM@40! was a celebration of STEIMs 40 year history through a diverse program of events. We would like to conclude this series by looking into new themes.
"Patterns & pleasure" — From once being an act of banging on things, rhythm has evolved into something that you carefully program through sequencer based instruments. Groove becomes an interesting space where complexity and intuition intersect. So how can we imagine new tools and ways to perform this new groove? How can we bang, sculpt and structure in real-time?
........................................
N.B. The routines obtained here were partly inspired -- in their content and esthetic -- by turntablists Qbert and D-styles . Although nothing can rival real vinyl manipulation by experts, a personal adaptation of these techniques on Handsonic makes imagine new ways in real time electronics.
Material used in this video:
- Handsonic (Roland HPD 15)
- Moog Bass Murf (MF-105b)
- Lo-Fi (LF7)

STEIM on Vimeo - The Night of the Unexpected
The Night of the Unexpected from STEIM Amsterdam on Vimeo.
"The Night of the Unexpected is a one night festival in which the diversity and dynamics of the contemporary music practice are fully featured and explored. The format encompasses composed classical music, improvised music, pop music, electronic dance music and performances in which music is combined with visual arts are all included.
This year STEIM was involved in two acts: the installation work PulseFF by Jan-Bas Bollen was developed by Byungjun Kwon at STEIM, and the Nono piece Post-prae-ludium No.1 “per Donau” was rehearsed at the STEIM studios. As always STEIM contributed also with providing equipment.

STEIM Announces junXion © v4
"STEIM is happy to announce the release of junXion © v4.
junXion v4 is a Mac OSX data routing application that can process 'sensors' from any HID (joysticks, mice, touchscreens), MIDI, OSC, Audio, Arduino and Video device using conditional processing and remapping, with MIDI or OSC events as its output. This resulting MIDI or OSC data is then available to any audio or music software that runs on that Mac or can be send to external MIDI/OSC devices.
junXion v4 is a system whereby the user creates so-called 'Patches'. Each Patch is a connection between a sensor input (for example: 'joystick X-axis' or Video Event Object y-position) and an Action (for example: 'convert the sensor data into midi controller 3, but only under certain conditions'). The Action is a user selectable set of conditions and actions that determine what should happen with the input-sensor's data and what kind of MIDI or OSC data should be send out.
junXion v4 features
* recognition and usage of 8 types of Input Sensors
o Human Interface Events, such as joystick X-axis, mouse scroll wheel, touch screen Y-axis
o MIDI Events, such as MIDI note events from Port 1, Mod. Wheel events from Port 2
o Timer Events, internal data generating processes, up to 100 Timers can be used
o OSC (Open Sound Control) Events via network
o WiiRemote Events, the popular Wii controllers support (on bluetooth machines)
o Audio Events, as level and pitch tracking sensors
o Arduino Inputs, simply reading the sensors connected to an Arduino board and using junXion to process these
o Video Inputs, use live video image to extract a 'Video Object' out of movement, color recognition, etc.
* being resolution independent, junXion v4 can handle any input data up to 16-bit resolution
* one Input Sensor such as 'joystick X-axis' can be connected to multiple Actions, thus generating multiple MIDI/OSC events
* multiple Input Sensors can be connected to one Action, so for example several switches of your joystick can trigger the same Action
* (auto) scaling of the incoming data
* straight mapping from the incoming data into one of the available MIDI/OSC events
* remapping of the computer keyboard and mouse to MIDI/OSC events
* creation of analog style sequencers using junXion's Timers
* MIDI output port or OSC network port selectable per Action
* the possibility to simultaneously connect up to 15 USB input devices and route them to separate or common MIDI channels/ports (for example: you can for instance 'play' Ableton Live with two joysticks and the computer keyboard)
* external MIDI input data can be merged with junXion's MIDI data or reprocessed and even turned into OSC messages
* save/recall user defined configurations
* editable table based response curves for the translation of gestures into MIDI controller data
* an extended set of data conditioners and conditional data routing (for example: passing a threshold by moving a joystick will first trigger a note and than send its further movement data as MIDI controller data)
* 'Timers' for timed data streams triggered and 'steered' by external input devices (for example: use for simple sequencing)
* 'Audio Events' as sensors, for each audio input junXion can extract the Level and Pitch to be used as input data.
* 'Video Events' as sensors, for each in junXion's video object editor definable Object you get six different input sensors, such as x and y position.
System requirements
junXion v4 runs on any Macintosh computer with OS X 10.4 or higher.

junXion v4 can be ordered online for € 75 at the KAGI online store.
Registered junXion v1.4 users can update to v4 for € 60.
Users with a registration code for junXion v3 can use the same code for v4 - no upgrade is necessary.
