i may not have been blogging terribly often the last few weeks but that’s because i was making this! it’s for james annesley’s virtual proximity – the track’s called suburbia. dig the album here. the clip was made using a combination of stop motion animation and projection mapping and i put together a little video describing the process. dig that below.
ch ch check it out. this may be the last zeal gig for the year plus i’ll be vjing for the black chords so you get some extra zealiness for your dollar. dig the facebook event. there’s more to report – new music video, newcastle, tassie, stereosonic. but that will be in the next post. adios for now. i discovered there’s a shortage of keystroke to MIDI converters for mac so I made MIDIpress. to use it…
here’s the max patch for the nerdlingers
quake anyone?
i’ve started a new clip for Virtual Proximity – the sax/beats/pixels trio i VJ in. the new clip uses a combination of stop motion animation and projection mapping. so far the process has been something like this: 1.) animate thing the track’s called suburbia and the clip has a big focus on power lines and houses (both large+real and small+paper). i love the look of power lines and i’ve really been enjoying projecting onto them, making the ceramic insulating doohickies flicker and causing anxiety amongst my neighbors.

And then I made this. It’s called Archaeopteryx, it’s a MIDI controller designed with VDMX in mind and I think it’s pretty hot. I’m going to make a run of similar, smaller controllers called The Sleep Crime so if you’d like to get your hands on one shoot me an email. But for now here’s how this one came into being. Continue reading Archaeopteryx: a DIY MIDI controller much is happening. earlier this week i released an update to VIZZable, my set of video plugins for ableton live. it’s a big update with fancy new features like GL optimisation and autoconnection(!) the auto connection code is thanks to chris gough from the jitter in live google group. if you’re into video and ableton live and maybe even max/msp, you should join us to help us test and make various awesome things.
if you’re in melbourne, you can see these plugins in action along with some button pressing, singing and jumping around when i play live at plugnplay next thursday the 28th of april at the kent st cafe, 201 smith st, fitzroy. i think i’m playing with vdmokstati, jean poole and others… bit short on details at the moment… but it’ll be awesome, i’m sure. the day after that (friday 29th) i’m playing at the builders arms with time shield, the leafs and sun blindness. i’ll also supplying visuals for the leafs and sun blindess. check the fb event! and the poster:
in other news, the dudes at projuice have thrown up a little write up about me which makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy. projuice is a media creation showing airing on abc at the moment – it’s really great seeing tutorial style programming making the airways especially since it’s pretty much favorite sort of thing to watch on the interwebs. that and videos of baby sloths. in other, other news, i’ve been inspired by this, this and this and have decided to build a midi controller (i’ve undertaken a similar project in the past). i’ll be using the guts from two korg nanokontrols and a usb qwerty keyboard and it should end up looking a bit like this:
