tuesday, december ninth, I installed an 8 channel network piece expressing micro-rhythmic patterns with flocking algorithms and force simulations. in each of the four computers on the LAN, I placed a world with 40 agents, each representing a train of semi-pitched impulses, resembling steel drums. the x coordinates represent the rate of the [...]

Despite the fact that the poster has misspelled my last name, I am grateful this documentation exists. There will be more footage to come (thanks Clembie).

a flooded network. each node broadcasts the opposite value of what it receives, so signals oscillate from hi to low, reaching network capacity very quickly. the nodes measure the time between messages, using regions of network lag as the organizing principle for hitting notes of various registers.
an idiosyncrasy of the code (whose artifacts [...]

the meta-notation is as follows:
play silences of various durations. if you make a sound, you have made a mistake. make mistakes.
this should be familiar as i’ve been trying to realize this notation into a more concrete score over the course of this semester.
the rules for interpreting the score break down as follows:
roll the [...]

i started trying to work out the notation system for this performance. the idea has been that, prior to each performance, a new score would be generated algorithmically so that the likelihood of my making an error would follow some nominal curve. obviously, if the score were static i would practice it, and [...]

I developed the following paradigm for writing code on a network of arbitrary size, allowing me to stay in one authoring environment while communicating to several machines and receiving posts as though they were local. When set up with a terminal multiplexer like gnu ’screen’, it allows for a scalable solution to writing distributed [...]

this is a recording of the cattri, my cluster, “performing” (read: generating in real time) a piece of music that has much in common with things like fractals and wavelet noise. actually, the algorithm itself was inspired by some reading i had been doing about computer graphics, to which often i find my [...]

i intend my nime performance to question some of the fundamental tenets of the nime conference. it might be pithily asserted that the project is neither new, an interface, nor for expressing music. the instrument is a found object (in this case a window) which is amplified with piezo discs. masses, such [...]

I did it again. Bigger. This time, instead of making two oscillators (and actually the previous recording only had one oscillator), I made four. Each machine gets sent to a different channel in my crappy samson mixer (the one that I used for no-input mixing with the Braxton ensemble back in [...]
