Love magazine video

So I was commissioned by Suburbia Media to make sound for their video for LOVE magazine. I made a soft sounscape using my own voice and different camera sounds - It can now be viewed and heard on Suburbia Media's website!

These are alternative musical ideas that I produced for the project.

HellsBells animation

So the lovely Grace Bird made me an awesome animation for my blog and night! I created a short beat-based soundscape to go with the visuals.

Enjoy!

Frankenstein must be destroyed.

This is another video from HellsBells and the Audio Adventurers that I've (finally) put up on youtube. It is a piece by Ed Millington that he and I adapted for a multi-media-spangly-sparkly performance and it features live Nord wave, live sample triggering, live cameramin, live drums and the amazing Emma-Jean Thackray on live Trumpet!

Enjoy!

When you fall

This is a song that I wrote and sung and cut up to play live on my ipod! In this piece I am again tapping into the XY and Z axises of the ipod's accelerometer, but I am using these axises to control the parameters of the effects that can be heard on the vocals. I am triggering the vocal samples using the buttons in OSCemote, and the different movements I'm making are mapped to delay, reverb (which freezes when the ipod is flipped 180 degrees, or onto its' Z axis) and a velocity controlled filter which affects the frozen reverb.

If you would like any more information on the technical side of things, send me a message! Screen shots of the patch I developed for this piece and my other OSC pieces can be found in the sideshow that is (or should be!) playing at the top left of the screen. Also in the sideshow are pictures of the audio-interactive twisterboard and octophonic wobble board panner that I made for the occasion!

Movement 1

This is a piece that I wrote for tape and live ipod that I performed in my night - HellsBells and the Audio Adventurers.

In this piece I am tapping into the accelerometer in the ipod using an app called OSCemote - streaming the data to my custom built PureData patch on my laptop. I have translated he XYZ accelerometer coordinates into musical gestures.

If anyone is interested in the PD patch or any other aspect of the technology or music, message me for more info!

It's been a while...

well... a very long time! Sadly deadlines and such mean that I haven't been able to commit as much time to my blog as I should have - however, it does mean that I've been beavering away creating new sounds and music and experiences! Alongside curating and performing in my night, I have composed and created sound for a few other projects, as well as finishing my research paper on Kyma - for which the wonderful CARLA SCALETTI (!!!!!!!!) was kind enough to answer a few questions for me.

So without further ado.. Here is the video from my night of Abby Foulkes on her reactable!!!
