    Thumbnail Jordan and I have been working hard this year on our doctorates: Building new interfaces, exploring projection mapping, and working on extending the possibilities of live electronic music performance. Lately we’ve been developing a live, interactive audio/visual show (detailed post will go live in the coming days!) in Wellington, NZ, and have had the opportunity [...]

    Here is a link to some great papers regarding stable "software" clocks. I really think that before we try to network remote machines together, we should provide a rock solid, and cross platform, internal software clock source. This page has a Kernel patch to achieve this on linux, freeBSD, and OSX. I'm a little nervous [...]

    I also agree with leaving Midi behind when it comes to sync, however, in the interest of being able to sync existing gear, or Ableton Live, it looks like we should at least come up with a Midi based solution as an option. Any info or links to docs about the Linux kernal clock? Sounds [...]

    Sweet. It seems like one of the bigger problems is how to get stable Midi Clock internally. I don't know the inner workings of the IAC bus, but it could be creating the jitter? I have a working openframworks project that takes in Midi Clock from Ableton and prints the time between msgs. I can [...]

    Hello, looks like most of the activity is over on the Comments section of the post, but wanted to see if we could start over here. Also looks like PTP could be the answer for getting the clock events to and from computers, but Jordan and I were attempting to get local Midi Clock working [...]

    Radio New Zealand recently did a broadcast focusing on the robotics work of our adviser, and good friend, Dr. Ajay Kapur. We were lucky enough to have them ask us a few questions about our work with the multi-touch [...]

    Menu from AhText
    As we started the AhText Project, we began to run into our first difficulties with processing. It turns out that although Processing 0136+ supports Java 1.5, it does not support any of the new Java syntax. Things like generics, and enhanced “for” [...]

The Opera will also be featuring the work of our friends Meason Wiley, Jim Murphy, Dimitri [...]

    Click to download Counter.ens
    So I hope to start a series of posts about using Reaktor core. Reaktor core is very powerful, but can be a little daunting at first. I was lucky enough to learn from Martijn Zwartjes while at CalArts, and I’m going to try my best to show some of the things [...]
