Things I need to make time for
Just a brief update before I lose sight of this stuff;
I’ve lately decided to spend a lot more time with Supercollider, which doesn’t serve as well for prototyping as something like Max/MSP or PD, but has already proven to have a lot of the same functionality, given a willingness to actually deal with code. sc140 contains a lot of excellent examples of the kinds of complexity you can get with relatively little code, and is easily my favorite thing involving twitter *ever*. Also, whenever I have the time, I plan to sit down with ixi, and see what that’s all about. The goal I have in mind is a Supercollider… synth? program?… that will take OSC input from one or more running instances of Isadora during a live performance. Ideally, I’d act as a kind of ‘operator’, routing, scaling and biasing various OSC signals to appropriate parameters within the synthesizer, creating a live indeterminate composition with clear correlations with the video being projected. I’ll post interesting and useful code / resources as I work my way through this process.
