…selected for the onedotzero festival.

The creativity involved is absolutely insane…the sound design is spot on. Really nice effort.

Ambient “brain” music…

Another addition. This one is a lot longer than last week’s and a tad more interesting. You can download the WAV  file from the “Sound-A-Week” page.

This is just a very quick post as I am rather pressed for time this morning. This came to my attention via Peter Kirn’s excellent site Create Digital Motion. I think Peter hits it bang on in his opening paragraph:

Perhaps it’s the church setting for the installation, or the strains of 17th-Century choral composition by Allegri. But Streetwise Opera’s My Secret Heart, binding together reactive visuals and post-Minimalist musical strains, has the feeling of a 21st Century passion play, a digital devotional piece.

Here is an excerpt. (The small size does not do it justice. You might want to go directly to Vimeo to check it out.)

I strongly encourage you to check out Peter’s site for more details then head over to Streetwise Opera’s site for even more info.

Live for Video...?

…and I can’t tell you how excited I am by this.

Resolume Avenue 3 is a “VJ” app although I think it has really outgrown that label. Resolume brings the immediacy of Live to working with both visual and audio materials seamlessly. And given that Resolume works with both MIDI and OSC in this version, and Live8 is now extensible via MAX for Live in some very low level ways, I can’t wait to see what others more skilled than I am come up with. To me, this is the first step one of the strongest steps in the true integration of music and visual technology into a performance and eventual music/audio writing and composition tool..

Given my interests, I want to explore this app for producing material that is not as club oriented, so I’d like to see what it does with audio material with less defined transients or more complex rhythmic structures than your basic “4 on the floor”. Maybe I’ll try combining this in my current uber-review project using the Live8 beta, SynPlant, and the “5 way path” challenge material from Daevl.

Yeh, what the hell? It’s not like life isn’t already complicated….

Peace.
