Project Sun Spot

The Sun SPOT (Sun Small Programable Object Technology) project explores wireless transducer technologies that enable the emerging network of things. The Sun SPOT Device is a small, wireless, battery powered experimental platform. It is programmed almost entirely in Java to allow regular programmers to create projects that used to require specialized embedded system development skills. The hardware platform includes a range of built-in sensors as well as the ability to easily interface to external devices.

The Walking Machine

The Walking Machine is a realtime controlled generative rhythm section, which has been developed for live performances in a free jazz context. The instrument provides a stable rhythmic platform as well as being dynamic enough in order to allow its player to interact with other musicians in a direct musical way. A Game pad is used as the controller, with realtime access to high-level parameters that controls probability distribution of intervals and durations, the performer controls the overall behaviour of the instrument.

Many Hands

Many Hands” is a series of software interfaces that allow a pianist to shape the unfolding of a range of electronic music resources ­ sounds, processes, events and electronic instruments and devices ­ in response to that pianist’s playing. The software interprets data about real-time performance ­ how fast is the playing, how dense are the chords or clusters, how long are melodic phrases, relative rhythmic steadiness, and basic harmonic analysis.

m@ze°2

m@ze°2 is a computer-based electronic instrument which serves as a realtime environment for composition and improvisation as well.

Starfish

Starfish is a network of delay lines that tend to expand when sound is present in them. The performer inputs sounds using a microphone, and has some limited global controls over the network. The result is an audio-visual performance.

Bloom

Bloom is a generative music application by Seth Sandler. Press anywhere on the screen to create circles that grow and ‘bloom.’ As they fade out and re-appear, they play a note. The note is based on the x-axis. As you move right, the notes go higher.

Mused

Mused is a software instrument / information visualization interface designed to aid sample-based composition and interaction. Using basic onset-detection techniques to build a database of note-sized units, musical features are extracted from the units. The user can then navigate the units on a scatter plot with zoom and dynamic queries on the unit features. There is a basic keyboard sampler implemented.

Les Ondes Memorielles

Les Ondes Memorielles is software (Max/MSP) controlled by a normal fader box and keyboard, and other assignable controllers, which allows to play a memory of the sounds heard before. It will play back the memory modified though (pitched, stretched, with rythms and melodies).

The Composers’ Playpen

The The Composers’ Playpen is a Max/MSP program which enables very sophisticated MIDI control of existing synthesizers, sound modules, and samplers.

Kinetic Engine

Multi-agent polyphonic rhythm generator

Intelligent rhythm generator in which individual agents interact with one another to create complex evolutionary rhythms. Can send data out as MIDI, or use internal samples. Responds to high-level user input: density, volume. Individual agents assume “personalities” that shape their response; these personalities can be influenced. Written in Max/MSP.
