Short Improvisation with my New Setup

YouTube via yakthekyle
"This is an short improvisation using my auto-matrix mixer and my new "event generator." I will be performing with this rig on Tuesday, August 25th at Super Happy Fun Land,
( http://www.superhappyfunland.com/ ) a performance venue in Houston. Doors open at 8pm, please come if you can! I plan on continuing to perform with the rig for a while, or until I add something new to it. The event generator (my newest) is similar to a sampler but with more complexities; it works with multiple types of synthesis (additive, granular, and FM) as well as sampled materials and effects (delays and ring mod). Envelope time is controlled my a turn of a knob making it a very versatile instrument for both quick events or long drones. And like most of my work, algorithms and aleatoric composition are involved to keep things interesting.

I have some stills of my patches uploaded and more info at http://yaktronix.blogspot.com/

First Stages of a TV Transmission Project

YouTube via yakthekyle
"Check out http://yaktronix.blogspot.com/ for stills of my Max patch and more info.

This is an ongoing performative work that involves video transmission and audio/video synchronization. The video above demonstrates the beginning of a piece that I will be working on throughout the remainder of this year. I will try to add updates as much as possible through the evolution of the project.
As of now it consists of a handmade tunable video transmitter and a micro controller based on the ATMega 168 chip. Detuning the transmitter creates a multitude of visualizations and colors. Photo resistors on the TV detect light levels and communicate with Max/MSP for audio control."

Didgeridoo Improvisation - custom built controller for Max/MSP sound processing and synthesis

YouTube via yakthekyle
"This is a demonstration of my homemade didgeridoo controller. The controller communicates with Max/MSP via serial communication using a handmade micro controller circuit based on the ATMega 168 chip. I have it set up to control several levels of modulation, filters, delays and also trigger samples."

Automated Matrix Mixer Vid 1 (Improvisation)

YouTube via yakthekyle
"This is a short improvisation demonstrating my hand made automated matrix mixer. It is run by a micro controller I built based on the AT Mega-168 chip. The micro controller communicates with Max/MSP via serial communication. Max/MSP automates the levels of each channel based on a controlled probability random generator. The mixer can also communicate back to Max and change values in the patch."

VHF Silicon - Kyle Evans - 2009

"VHF Silicon
Kyle Evans 2009

VHF Silicon is an interactive audio/video installation showed in SAICs spring 2009 undergraduate exhibition. This piece is an experiment in computer automation and the compatibility of old and new technologies. Computer generated digital processes are used to control and modulate three analog video signals. A computer program communicates with hand built analog circuitry by means of the Art Bus micro controller. The circuitry switches and modulates three separate analog video channels that are mixed and distorted onto an easily manipulated early 70s television set. Three ultra-sonic proximity sensors are placed surrounding the television each controlling a separate video signal and responding to viewers positions and movements throughout the space. Multiple viewers and relative proximity to the sensors all effect and modulate the displayed video. When the sensors are not being activated, the computer runs autonomously and begins randomly switching through the video signals. The sounds were created using an analog modular synthesizer and are synchronized to the switching and processing of their corresponding video."

"This synth has two ring modulated square wave oscillators. Below each oscillator knob is an amplitude modulation control knob. Combining both of these modulation types creates some very rich and noisy waveforms full of side bands. The amplitude modulation can be turned on and off by the switch below each control knob. If carfully tuned, this synth will create some very intresting beating patterns.There is also a level control at the top right corner for accurate dynamic control.

Runs on an easy to replace 9V battery (INCLUDED)
Check out the pics and watch the video to listen to how it sounds.

1/4 inch output. ON/OFF switch. Blue ultra-bright LED Indicator Light.
Hook it up to effects like delay or distortion to expand the possibilities further.
Very sturdy and protective housing.


I hand make each of my synths and guarantee my products to work and sound GREAT.
