de/Rastra - Oscillographic Synthesizer and Computer Interface - Kyle Evans (Performance Excerpts)

YouTube Published on May 13, 2012 by yakthekyle

"-de/Rastra

-For more info go to: http://yaktronix.com/derastra

-The de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer is a real-time audio/video instrument and computer-interfacing device that allows a performer to generate visualizations intrinsic to cathode ray tube technology while simultaneously creating the acoustic analog of the displayed imagery. The de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer is an open source project and will eventually be accompanied by tutorials on methods of CRT hacking. Related tutorials can be found at http://www.crackedraytube.com/textstutorials.html but specific information regarding de/Rastra are in progress."

sine.magnet.phosphoresced. - SAIC Graduate Thesis Exhibition, Spring 2011

*The audio of this documentation includes low-frequencies
that cannot be reproduced without a capable sound system.

Media: Modified television, computer, speakers, sinusoidal waveforms (48Hz. 98Hz. and variable), and electromagnetism.

The cathode ray tube has become an antiquated and useless technology in this era of binary bits. This technology, by its current definition, acts as the quintessential representation of the rise and fall of technology in our rapidly progressing society. As a child outgrows a toy, we have collectively abandoned the CRT, casting it aside to be scavenged for valued metals in the proverbial wastebaskets of our cities.
For the piece sine.magnet.phosphoresced., the now obsolete cathode ray tube television takes on a monumental, sculptural form within an immersive sound environment. The intense visceral response to this obsolete technology implores the viewer to confront the detritus of technological progress and innovation.
Modern technology is used to drive the internals of the CRT giving the dated device a new voice. Though it brings new life to a dead technology, the process, since its initial installation, has been simultaneously destroying the CRT through the effects of ion burn seen in the center of the screen."

Synth prototyping cont. (Make #Zero) - Digi synth with analog filter and LFO

YouTube Uploaded by yakthekyle on Jul 20, 2011

"Further progress on a digital synth project that I plan to start producing very soon. The synth will be reprogrammable from any computer and the code can be easily bent or created from scratch. It also has an LFO controlled analog resonant lowpass filter to fatten up the sound (also circuit bendable) . This project will be COMPLETELY open source (schematics, code, everything) once I get everything organized."

"*Note: Internal laptop speakers will not properly reproduce the low frequency sounds utilized in the piece, please uses external speakers.

-This is documentation of a recent audio/visual installation that explores an analogues relationship between sound and image. Sound is generated and modified algorithmically and is visualized through the utilization of the phosphorescent capabilities of antiquated television technology. Each television has been modified to display the electrical signal associated with the sound transforming it into patterns and imagery."

Note: I created a new "Art Installations" label for these types of posts. This is the first. I'll update older posts as/if I have time. As always, if I miss labels in posts, feel free to call them out.

Electronically Modified Didgeridoo controls realtime video processes

YouTube via yakthekyle (click for more including visuals of the didgeridoo)
"http://yaktronix.com/
This is the first steps in a new project of mine involving real-time video processing using the audio from my Electronically Modified Didgeridoo. This is a test of just some basic dynamic control from which much more complex control will follow as the project continues. Audio from the didgeridoo is filtered into bands in Max/MSP which are then used to control different parameters via a micro controller. Two video signals are being manipulated by means of dirty mixing and PWM through an analog switching chip. If anyone has some advice of just a good idea in regards to this project, please let me hear.

Kyle Evans - Electronically Modified Didgeridoo Performance @ Georgia Tech

YouTube via yakthekyle. Be sure to see this video.
"A performance with my Electronically Modified Didgeridoo for the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition on Feb. 27 2010. In the finalists round, the competitors were given five minutes to describe and perform their instrument. Besides someone repeatedly stepping on my audio cable (and at one point disconnecting it completely) I thought my performance went pretty well. It was a good opportunity to try out some new techniques."

"Electronically Modified Didgeridoo Kyle Evans

I created this instrument to experiment in the combination of the organic sound qualities of a didgeridoo with the advanced signal processing capabilities of modern computer programming and sound synthesis. This custom built didgeridoo features externally mounted modules that allow the performer to process and manipulate the sound of the instrument in real time. All control data is transmitted wirelessly via blue tooth and is controlling several audio processes created in a custom-built software environment. If you have any questions about the instrument please feel free to ask.
