CC - Week 6 - Real Time Processing (2)

Ooh, fun. Well I laughed at the ID3 tag when I found this sound file again.

MP3 103Kb.

CC - Week 9 - RT Network Control

Well I was busy screwing around in Photoshop (surprise) when Dave was creating 'our'
OSC network- luckily he gave me a shout before he started so I could take some
credit. We did some quick finishing hacks to the connected computers and started the
party, with these results MP3 128Kb. (actual size, not kbps)

Good times, good times.

This is my OmniCrapple diagram, complete with piano and lines and arrows.
Aren't you excited?

AA - Minor project - MP3

Indeed. I did a bus. The squeaking sound in this was supposed to be the rubber of the
bendy part of the bus squeaking, but it didn't come off too good. The stereo mix seems
to have dropped out a couple things too. But I don't care. Here it is in all of its
96kbps glory. MP3 2.08Mb

Forum - Week 12 - Forumskin and Dirty Dancing

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days we improvise. I thought today was
Friday so I didn’t get up until 10, and missed CC plus 10 minutes of an aural exam.
Anyway we had a nice improv session today, albeit slightly less energetic than last
time. It seems Dirty Harry must be reading my blog, as this time he actually stayed
in the room and even got us into a 7/8 jam with him on piano. Stephen came to visit
but didn’t say anything, which I guess is his way of saying “Not bad.” Due to my
morning rush I didn’t bring the effects pedal again, but I have managed to get a
convincing bass drum sound through 2 layers of EQ. Jake experimented with Live v.6
with great success. Using the Impulse feature, he created drum loops on the spot and
distorted them with much greater efficiency, thanks to Live 6’s easier effects
interface. Matt pulled out some nice synth solos as usual and Adrian lay down the
bass with a sometimes serial edge. Dave injected the necessary funk or solo and I did
whatever it is I pretend to do. Although a few members down again, we still kept it
fairly clean and got ‘down and dirty’ on occasions. That last sentence has just
collapsed my motivation to write any more.



Tending to the herd



Anyway. The 7/8 timing was a good experience. After about 4 minutes I got Jake to
slow the tempo from 90 to 84 so we could catch on to the ‘un-rhythm’, and
this allowed us to keep a groove going for about 10 minutes. Dirts pulled off some
very chromatic and abstract pianocism, and it was great to see him getting into it as
much as we do. I’m looking forwards to our performance (whenever it is), and I might
try and kill some of the less useful band members so as to even out the numbers. Oh
shit, did I say that out loud?
