"Auto-Generated music using 44-Space Synthesizers.com modular, Roland Juno-106, Dave Smith Prophet '08, Boss DR-55, AM Radio, and a lot of stomp boxes. Audio and video were recorded live @ the Furnace and put together in iMovie. Over 60 1/4" guitar cables were used to create the music. The modular is driven by a CGS Psycho LFO and a Q119 Sequencer. The Juno-106 and Prophet '08 are played by a few patch cables jammed between the keys. Check out the blog at www.modularsounds.com."

"very short video of Karlheinz Essl's freeware: Lexikon-Sonate which is a blast to play with and tangentially reminded me of Tokyo Lick."

Update via Noiseconformist in the comments:
"I had a chat with Eliane Radigue in May this year when she was featured during a two day festival here in Vienna.
She's a lovely person!
Her music is very inspiring to me!

BTW, the complete DVD can be obtained here:

12-13 of September
"Starting from simple basic concepts, through the teaching of Pier Calderan, face in two days of workshops the world of synthesis. From the old wooden dinosaurs to modern circuits and software that enable us to achieve any kind of sound. We shall see in detail the most powerful software of Native Instruments Reaktor, and make a brief foray into the electronic world analogue to build our personal sound generator."

You can find the course details at the links above.

moogerfooger interfaces for eurorack systems

via Julian on the AH list:
"Ive just cut some panels for somones Doepfer system, that, i think, are a very good idea.

Im posting here with the customers permission - the design is his, i just engraved them for him.

They are a set of small 4hp panels to connect to a loom that then runs to his moogerfooger devices, bringing the connections to the front panel for easy patching.

Years ago, i did somthing similar for my kenton pro-2000, but his are a lot neater.

Anyway, its a very simple idea, but, i think, quite a nice one. The only downside is that, on a standard doepfer case, there's obviously going to be issue with the cables comming out the back. I havent asked the customer what cases he is working with."

"music composed and performed by Jeffrey Stolet using custom software and infrared sensors"

"New Electro-Acoustic Technologies and Changing Human/ Music Interfaces
With Jeffrey Stolet
Philip H. Knight Professor of Music
Director of Intermedia Music Technology
University of Oregon School of Music
Simple Input, Complex Output: Performance and Data mapping in Tokyo Lick.
Challenges regarding the conceptual design and implementation of human / music
instrument interfaces have a rich and nuanced history. Generally, if a musical instrument
has thrived it has been due to the fact that the particular instrument could provide the
desired musical outcome. Traditional instruments typically display a simple one-to-one
relationship in terms of input and output (e.g., one piano key is depressed, one note is
sounded). Current technologies release us from the shackles of such one-to-one input-
output models and permit to the creation of new types of musical generation. At the
University of Oregon we have been involved with projects where musical robots perform
music, where eye movement data control sound and video, and where infrared sensing
devices control sonic and video events.
In his program, Mr. Stolet will focus on the technology and the human-performance
elements in Tokyo Lick, his composition for infrared sensors, custom interactive software,
and MIDI piano. He performs Tokyo Lick by moving his hands through two invisible
infrared spheres and directing the data derived from those motions to algorithms residing in
customized interactive software created in the Max multimedia programming environment.
Tokyo Lick contains no sequences or pre-recorded material. Mr. Stolet will perform every
note in real-time. Using a technology he refers to as “algorithm flipping,” he can rapidly
change the specific algorithm or algorithms governing the response to the incoming MIDI
control data. He actuates the algorithmic changes through pre-composed schedules, musical
contexts, or through explicit intervention. Taken together, these techniques provide a
conceptual framework for practical input/output mapping (action → specified outcome) and
for control and performance flexibility, while offering a truly new paradigm for virtuoso
music performance.
Biography:
Jeffrey Stolet is a Philip H. Knight Professor of Music and Director of Intermedia Music
Technology at the University of Oregon School of Music. Stolet's work has been presented
in America, Europe, Japan and Australia, and is available on the Newport Classic and
Cambria labels. At the University of Oregon, Stolet has also developed the curricula for a
Bachelor of Science in Music Technology degree, a Master of Music in Intermedia Music
Technology, and the curriculum for Intermedia Music Technology as a Secondary Area for
music students pursuing doctoral degrees"
