by Charlie Visnic

THE LA MONOMEET, Presented by INTERFACE LA THE ARTISTS: Joe Newlin ioflow Ro Sidebrain No Sir E Merbert Moover Flip Mu Altitude Sickness Anenon Alfred Darlington Tehn Visuals by Oicho It was cool to be able to see these guys performing up close. There was such a variety of styles and methods. I tried my best to condense the nights performances into a short single compilation. I hope you enjoy! The Monome is an open source hardware controller that does pretty much whatever you will it to do. http://monome.org/ Interface LA is a collective of Los Angeles artists devoted to cultivating the growing digital art community in Los Angeles - finger ninjas, data moshers and hackers alike.

a mashup of dublab's "bonus beat blast" from the 2011 "turning on tomorrow proton drive" performed in mlr with a monome mk kit, visuals seeded with copied OSC messages big thanks to the dublab crew and all of the artists sampled here (http://dublab.com) ))) not for laptop speakers ((( ::::::::::long description:::::::::: 'dublabdub' is composed entirely from snippets of dublab's 'bonus beat blast', from the recent 'turning on tomorrow' proton drive. the track was performed on a monome kit using the application 'mlr'. in addition to recording the audio, the button presses and LED configuration of the monome were used to generate visuals. while the audio is tightly arranged, the visuals are entirely generative and reactive. in the opening visualization, button presses impose boundary conditions on a wave as it spreads and interferes with itself. in the second part of the video, a cellular automaton is seeded with the monome's LED configuration. this project represents another installment…

finally close to finished. after working on this app, i really just want to make music for awhile. a bunch of samplers which are controlled/triggered like phases of a moon. The vertical 'serpents' create stutter effects. The horizontal 'serpents' control the sequencer(the serpent traverses the orbit into which the moons must enter). In addition, there is a cellular automata matrix sequencer which controls effects' preset-triggering. Effects include a sidechained comp, peaklimiter, filters(lopass,hipass,bandpass,notch), my FFT secretsauce, tempo-synced variable-shape amplitude cutting, and variable ping-pong delays(plus one main output mastering VST plugin option). Fed into the FFT secretsauce(a convolution effect i call RedShift) are a choice of 2 synths to convolve with output from the samplers: one is 'atebyte' which is an 8-bit emulating synth created by Jack A. Perkins and Vlad Spears(modded by me), another is 'noisul8or', a noise-based subtractive synth created by Chris Core(also modded…
