RE: Doug's gratuitous introspective.... / Live Insect Looping?
Oh now you're out of control, Ben. :)
Yes, very tempting idea. I like the interactive aspect. I wonder if there
is a way to allow the audience to modify the effect and presets one uses?
For instance, I'm laying down a loop, and some audience member tweaks
something that switches my effect from something on my Boss VH1 to
something on my computer, like Antares Filter. I'm afraid to ask what sort
of contraption I would need to get audience input into a MIDI program
change signal. A light based, effect grid projected on the wall that was
touch sensitive by a pencil-like laser would be an easy way. You could
hand a few lasers out and let the audience go hog wild....could also get
annoying for a musician after a while too.
Btw, I'm still warming up to the idea of programs that "create" music for
me....it either scares me, or intrigues me...one, the other ,or both...

From: "Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com> ....what I really wonder is if
someone has used live insects in a live performance setting. It would be
like me bringing my USB enabled microscope, and showing real protozoa and
amoebae on an overhead projector while I was playing...damn, I wish I
could afford to do that....
----
Or better... detect the move (X-Y coordinates) of the beasts in the range
defined by the overhead circle and use this to CC some midi controlled
value (filters, pitch,...).
I think someone (from the nord modular list?) made such an experiment with
an I-cube, a camera, a goldenfish and a water tank.
Cheaper is to use some program like sounder (www.sounder.com) which allow
the audience to "link" an image to the sound produced. You can even use
any picture to represent the bouncing objects, so use a bug if you want to
;-) If someone has other tools in this "trend" I'm interested.
Creating image from sound (VJing) is cool but improvising or generating
sound from on an image is more interresting I think.
Just my 2c,
Ben.
