Well, it’s official. I’ve been appointed composer in residence for the Fall 2010 session at ART342 in Fort Collins, CO. While there, I’ll be working on my second piece for sax quartet and computer. Basically, Erebus part 2 – just without the infamous “waterboarding” movement.
In the meantime, I need to finish the computer programming for Songs of a Mute Voice. Everything’s pretty much there except for the interface. And the fact that the sampler keeps crashing. And the compressor is acting up. Chalk a couple up to modular design.
In honor of Mother’s Day [not really, just coincidentally] I’ve added some of my more recent Max/MSP patches to the site. They include:
AfterLIVE – a sample looper with speed adjustment controls (basically the big brother of Groove Monkey).
F(Seq)2 – a patch that creates random sequences of notes for your pleasure.
Granulator – which takes a signal (or sample) and frags it.
SetGen – which creates [and plays!] atonal series for the budding composer to use as a point of departure in their works.
I should also mention that I’ve included an updated version of the Bag of Tricks patch (call it 2.0) that replaces the subtractive synth with my Particle Forge program. That, along with the AfterLIVE and Granulator programs were used quite extensively in creating Cumulus Refractions. Anyway, get them while they’re hot.
Added a new patch today called Groove Monkey. It’s now available for your downloading pleasure. Enjoy.
Well, the new site is up, except for the video section, which is coming soon – after a major ftp upload. However, all art, audio, scores, and refills from the previous site have been transferred over. Additionally, I’ve uploaded both Max/MSP and PD patches to the list of downloadable items.
And for everyone who’s asked me about the uke etudes – yes, I’ll post videos of them, and yes, I’ll post all seven of them. I just need to finish tabbing them first.
