A new Pablo Smash EP, following the same principles as the original : tracks named after NSA / GCHQ surveillance programmes and software, a distroid / vaporwave musical aesthetic.
A couple of notes about it on my wiki.
“Better than Live” @ Gruta Creative Lab (2015)
May 30th, 2015, I played a rare “live” gig at Gruta Creative Lab, Brasilia. This is a short selection of the tunes I played, done in FL Studio. The following isn’t a live recording (unfortunately one wasn’t made), but a recreation using the same patterns and roughly the same structure. (I was improvising in Fruity’s “Performance Mode”).
Hence “better than live” 😉
Tumulto III (2015)
Audio for an installation by Wagner Barja.
Made with recordings of sea, whales and dolphins; the MansionHouse synths; FL Studio and re-appropriations of my La Mer sound-track.
Zewp! MansionHouse – Live at Arvore Monstro (2014)
A live performance combining MansionHouse (a Pure Data based synth, programmed with Gates of Dawn) and a version of Zewp! adapted to run in Processing using my Art Toys library. The Zewp! Processing sketch is just a controller, sending messages via Open Sound Control to the PD hosted synths. There’s also FL Studio running in the background.
Brazewok EP (2015)
Search Art (2013 – 2014)
The Narcissus Search Engine, Skateboarding, and Oranges
A chapter in The Institute of Network Cultures' Society of the Query Reader, based on a conversation between Aharon Amir and myself discussing our Narcissus “Anti Search Engine” and “search-art” in general.
Patterning (2014)
A Clojure library to make decorative patterns.
These patterns can be used with automated embroidery machines to decorate textiles.
Golden Pond (2014)
A library I created to learn a bit of Haskell and to make a sequence of chords that can be used as the basis of a song. It’s a small experiment that I may take further in future.
The code on GitHub »
The backing chords of this track were produced from the library.
Vidro e AlumÃnio (2014)
My soundtrack for a show by Margaridas Dança.
Here are the big tunes in a more accessible (and downloadable) form.
And here’s the whole thing. Hopefully the video will be available online soon.
Gates of Dawn (2013 – 2014)
Gates of Dawn is a Python library to generate PureData patches. PureData is a great free software synth construction kit, but as a coder I’d like a more programmatic way of building synths.
Gates of Dawn let’s me write code that looks like this :
from god import *
with patch("hello.pd") as f :
dac_ ( sin_ ( slider("pitch",0,1000) ) )
to make a simple slider to control a sin oscillator which feeds into the dac~ object.
