13:13I’m starting work on a new project with John MacCallum whereby I send him a small drawing every week (hopefully),
and he pieces the disparate elements together into an organization of his liking. Here’s the first in the series.
mutiny radio
19:29i have some friends over at the pcr (pirate cat radio) collective that have just re-launched/grouped as mutiny radio.
they have an official space now (have for a while), with a great cafe full of vibrant art and people. their efforts consist of constant podcasts and radio show deployment opportunities, of which they’ve been generous enough to offer me some slots in.
take the time to check them out if you’ve got it…
CNMAT Summer Workshops – 2011
14:33
This summer, the CNMAT Summer Workshops will be held similarly to last year, with intensive courses throughout the morning and evening.
There is a single fee for all workshops, as students are invited to attend whichever sessions they will get the most out of. This could be all, or some depending on how much outside help they might require. One could, for example, focus on the morning lectures for Monday and Tuesday, then on Wednesday work on brushing up their skills during the morning lecture slot. The schedule is generally going to be 10am to 10/11pm each day, with breaks in between sessions for food, socializing, and one-on-one instruction.
I will be teaching the day school this year, which is an honor, as Michael Zbyszyński has been the former teacher of the course, and has always inspired me to get the most fun out of Max.
John MacCallum will be teaching many of the advanced topics for the evening sessions, alongside other talented educators and users of the language.
Schedule:
- July 18-22, 2011
- 10am-12pm: Beginning/Intermediate Max/MSP Programming
- 12-1pm: Lunch
- 1-3pm: Beginning/Intermediate Lab
- 3-5pm: Open Lab/Special Topics (topics will include Max for Live, gestural controllers and eTextile sensing)
- 5-6pm: Dinner Break
- 6-9pm: Advanced Max/MSP Programming

9:44I was migrating to a new machine the other day and realized that although I had made a backup of all my files, I had continued to work on some new ones for around a week.
This was a terrible thing to realize without this:
cd ~/whatever/folder/is/of/concern;
find . -newermt "jan 01, 2010 07:00" -not -newermt "jan 11, 2010" -exec cp {} ~/some/path \;

1:17marimba lumina visualization
17:07
I recently worked with Jules Espinau on a demo involving the visualization of the marimba lumina, a MIDI-based gestural controller. Because MIDI isn’t the dominant protocol at CNMAT, the goal was to create wrappers around both the MIDI input of the Marimba Lumina and my video patch that needed to accept generic input.
I found it quite easy to be able to create generic input from OSC packets so that all Jules and I had to do was agree on a given name-space and pass it back and forth between computers via wireless peer-to-peer. This method of working proved not only to be time-efficient but allowed for more focus of the details of the creative process. And of course, if one computer goes down, the other is still sitting there ready to transmit the same i/o it previously was.
I would like to develop this piece further in the future; I’ll see what Jules thinks of that.
We were able to create the details of our work in private and finesse the details of how gestures would translate across this name-space in a single session. I think it took us all of a single day to get the OSC-communication up and running in order to work with the setup as a live performance instrument.
mullif
14:37mullif is flap-filled and furry.
he lets the stash take it’s course after a long day, and enjoys quiet nights in the park (alone).
due to the rather inconvenient glob of intestines stapled to his forehead, he keeps his mouth open in the event that “some might slip down”, as he has no arms to catch slippage.
cnmat summer closure (MaxDev_CNMAT2)
9:212nd round of dev courses this week to finish up the Summer’s curriculum.
I was impressed most with how thoroughly John (the primary instructor) was able to navigate to/from the various asides and to constantly maintain a nice transition from topic to topic. Again this course was led by John, Andy, and Adrian.
Ali Momeni, who is also an outstanding purveyor of pedagogy, gave his 10th (!) year of night school class.
Congratulations, Momeni.

Amazing class going on this week at CNMAT. I’m attending a workshop hosted by John Maccallum, Andy Schmeder, and Adrian Freed, which focuses on the development of C Externals in MaxMSP. Very useful info that I’ve wanted to dive into for some time now.
This was the first of two summer classes; I would highly recommend the 2nd one, which is going to occur at the end of July. Check CNMAT’s site for details.
CCA classes; SP 2009
11:21Teaching 3 days of an Experimental Sound course at CCA. The students are engaging and have much going on w/r/t their installations and performances. For the most part, they are using Max and interfacing boards. I’ve been helping developing patches, including some basic/advanced patching techniques, demo-ing examples and I’ve created, and working out details of their sensors’ inputs. Much headway here, and a great class.
RBFJGS80 cover + album art
11:15RBFJGS80‘s new record, “i am a gorgeous wife”, is out.
You can listen to and buy the album here.
I worked on the art and layout. I’m including pix, below.
Eric Carlson made the artwork for the back cover, and sits along with some additions I put in to integrate it with the rest of the panels.

Thanks for GVB for offering the opportunity, and making great music.
Thanks also to the entire 80 band, all of which are exceptional in their musicianship.

11:13The first rev of the new alubow site is complete.
Look for it to go live later this week.
For those of you who aren’t aware, my sister is an incredibly talented Photographer living in Brooklyn. Her focus is to shoot fine-art photos for fashion magazines.
Allyson has printed for artists from David LaChappelle to Hugo Tillman, photographed for magazines from TapeOp to Bust, and is currently printing for Eileen Quinlan and Robert Blake. She has become a permanent fixture at Pochron Studios in Brooklyn, and continues to shoot on a freelance basis for various clients.
Many thanks to Allyson for staying patient during this work and for clear communication on what she was looking for…
and MANY MANY thanks to Gabriel Dunne for all of his amazingly detailed input regarding the dark corners of Flash, server-side scripting, and integration between browsers and Flex. I’m always surprised just how many devils can be found in the details. Also, thanks to Ryan Alexander for offering great advice on a number of occasions. It’s wonderful to have a supportive community around me.
