"This is a video summary I made to document my musical research as a 2009-10 recipient of the Creative Arts Award from the University of Virginia. My goal was to compose and record original electroacoustic compositions using the software programs Abelton Live and Max/MSP. This is the first song off of my upcoming album to be released April 17th, 2010. I will be posting a new track every week on my myspace page (www.myspace.com/grovemiller). There I will also have a full written report of my research including diagrams that better explain how everything is configured. This video was limited to 3 minutes, but I will also post a clip of the whole performance. Enjoy!

Some fun trivia: For those wondering what Muff Wiggler is, Muff's Forum has become THE forum for boutique modular gear. Users and manufacturers are active on the forum and many manufactures have their own sub-forums. It is run by Mike McGrath and originally started as a blog back on November 23rd of 2006. The first time I announced Muff Wiggler was back on December 4th, 2006 in this post. Prior to that I put up two posts featuring Mike, one on July 10th, 2006 and one on July 18th, 2006. Note in the modular world there are boutique manufacturers that sell pre-assembled modules, some that sell both modules and kits, and then those that design modules and provide schematics and instructions for the DIY crowd. I think the crown for the longest/oldest running company would be PAiA, who just started selling module kits again. Note Muff's forum has a DIY section, however the bulk of DIY seems to be on the electro-music.com forums along with probably the biggest Clavia Nord Modular forum.
