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.

MIDIpress

i discovered there’s a shortage of keystroke to MIDI converters for mac so I made MIDIpress. to use it…

Download MIDIpress
select your keyboard from the menu on the left. this might take some trial and error – when you find it the yellow button next to the menu will flash when ever you hit a key. mine’s “Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad 4″.
choose your MIDI output settings. “from midipress 1″ is a safe bet.
make sure your target application (ableton, FL studio etc.) has your chosen midi port active in it’s preferences.
set your velocity and note length.
do whatever! you can control any midi mappable parameters or jam as you type.

here’s the max patch for the nerdlingers

Another gig! I’ll be playing the first official zeal gig of the year next wednesday Thursday the 24th at 303 supporting Sydney’s Karoshi. The new audio visual set’s really coming together after last weeks trial run and it should be even better by next wednesday. I’m also scheming some evil live streaming schemes so all of you in internet land can check out the shiny new moving pictures and sounds… more gigs coming. and videos and things. oh, the unbearable intrigue.

P.S. I’ve revamped my facebook page! go like it, eh?

i’m playing this saturday night at the empress with JUNK! and the time shield – and this time not as zeal but as my VJing alter ego lazy laser. i’ll be trailing some new AV material (using VIZZable) and it will be under rehearsed but hopefully interesting. it should be a taste of the future zeal live show. the inimitable junk will be doing some stripped down acoustic or ambient or jazzy versions of their songs and time shield will be there to shield us from the horrors of time (and also make pretty pictures and sounds). back to getting my shit together!
