I have now added special control setup for my performance with my ultraleap so I can scan and manipulate my audio buffers using my fingers in mid air hehe

I got so stuck with houdini Solaris/karma this weekend, trying to figure out how to render AOVs to separate files instead of all in one exr, was trying a bunch of stuff based on the forum posts I could find and nothing was working, any advice or tutorials/ learning resources world be appreciated […]

I have something special planned for this gig, a max msp patch I've poked over many years, Its a bit of a gamble as to how it will go as it is very experimental, but I think that will align well with the theme of the evening. Its been some far out stuff in the past. luma.com/b9715vv8

A poster for the next Charlie and Lucy gig at pattern club:
Bathbib#2.

A lot of jittery spikey stuff this time I guess.

Posset: c'mon, you know Posset by now don't you? The dictaphone guy? Yeaaaahhh...did one of the finest 'noise' shows I've ever seen, but I'm glad to say the fame hasn't got to him.

John Jasnoch: jittery guitar ledge. He can play every single note on a guitar. Wriggly worms of dexterity offset by that inner peace you thought you were sure you'd never experience again that day she left you.

Nik Nenov: Computer Whizzkid, prone to deconstructing sound and putting you back together in the process. Sometimes glitchy, sometimes pounding, always maximum rubies.

Godzilla-Airhorn: we're just giving this guy 20 minutes because we felt sorry for him. Arrive late if you can.

An explosive cocktail of vibrant music to match any mood. Step into an infinity pool of possibility and spiraling charasmataz. A cockroach scurries down your spine of well-spent evening. No task cannot be handled by these purveyors of sounds enough to make the most jaded of flies dribble. Spectacular vernacular dracula spatula commin' attcha.

Next Friday, I will be performing live visuals for NZO at No Bounds festival opening night, I've spent many many hours working on a new custom node graph in TiXL specifically developed for her live set, I've had a lot of help from Still(pixtur), NEWEMKA and UNC, to fine tune and debug, I learned […]

I'm also going to be doing something a bit special with Sam (Damu), visuals wise, for the no bounds algorave the next day, at The System

On the 9th October I'll be doing visuals for an amazing artist for the No Bounds festival opening night in Sheffield, I'm working a new visuals setup especially for it, I just hope I have enough time as I'm full on booked with my other work basically until then

Today taking a little lunch break between work to go check out the event space for no bounds festival with Sam (damu) to see what the setup is like, we're going to do some visuals and maybe interesting lighting for the algorave there on 10th October

Its pretty wild how many videos there online for Cinema 4D / redshift to get alpha channel for your background. Its one of those settings that gets hidden/moved around between updates. And nothing boils my piss more than having to watch a 3~5 minute video about where a slider or a checkbox is.

various search engine results titled things like "where'd the background button go"

I did this tutorial today and it blew my mind. I always "got" the basic principles of how it works, but to actually sit down and write it out from a blank page, felt like dark magic youtu.be/khblXafu7iA

this edge dist map could actually be really useful for some fun fx

its kind of working, not really, but quite cool for abstract base coat. basically i was curious how easily/quickly i could do a light paint from octane to something i could export into real time soft e.g. tixl

3 view windows, bottom left is a beauty render using octane, the mesh has good realistic lighting, the window above that shows the baked uv map, the big window in the background shows the mesh with the baked texutre applied, there are some visible seams but overall the impression of lighting is there

More plots on arbitrary strokes of watercolor. This time I let it plot twice, and filled the first plot with white acrylic paint as a background on top of the watercolor. I also switched to fountain pens from rotring technical pens.

I used to try and stay on top of this but I now have ridiculous amounts of photos sitting on my camera dating back over 2 months.. It would take me sooo long to go through them all and process them.. argh.

My first ever PC demo successfully executed last night at @evoke , people seemed to like it, there were so many great demos too, it's been an amazing weekend!

I found some cool example patches that Richard Devine shared on the flucoma website and although there wasn't anything super different about the slicing setup to what I was trying, there was a good layout of exposed settings for all the different slicing objects which made it easy to quickly try […]

Then I realized the slicing part was really not working well, I was fidling with all the different slicing types and modes but none of them were making slices I was really happy with […]

Stayed up way too late last night diving back into Max MSP, it was rough though, I'm so rusty.. I had an exciting idea for an auto slicer that saves the slices to a folder in alphabetical order of their spectral properties e.g. centroid, freq_300.wav, freq_450.wav, freq_543.wav etc. I thought […]
