I am excited to finally release Data Knot, a package for Max based on FluCoMa. It’s something I’ve been developing over the last 5 years or so, the last 3 of which were under the name SP-Tools. Data Knot…
Since I first saw it announced, I’ve been super excited about the Landscape NOON. It seemed to, in one box, do what I had been wanting to achieve with my experiments in modular synthesis for a while. Being able to trigger…
For the last few years I’ve been working on ideas and approaches to using electrics in a realtime/low-latency context with acoustic drums The most recent of these have been working with the FluCoMa Toolkit to do some of the…
I spent the better part of last year working on a performance that was a strange combination of things. It pulled together turntablism, feedback/friction, machine learning, signal decomposition, 3d printing, robotics…and a snare drum. All of these were ideas I…
Although this idea/piece is a couple of years old now, I realized I’ve not written about it in any detail (although I have talked about it on several occasions). So this is that. But more than that, I want to…
dfscore 2.0 is here! dfscore 2.0 is a much improved and completely rewritten version of dfscore that I started working on a couple of years ago. The dfscore system is a realtime dynamic score system built to display a variety of musical material over…
Here is the new piece of software based around an Xbox 360 controller that I’ve been working on for about a year. It is called Cut Glove and it’s a live-sampling and processing patch that contains mappings based on video game mechanisms and metaphors. This…

Here is a short video introduction of the dfscore system, which I’ve been working on for some time now. The dfscore system is a dynamic score display system built to function over a local network to display a variety of musical material. The…
I’ve been working on a relay-based hardware repatching instrument for quite a while. The idea being that I could use my computer (running Max) to control a bunch of my weird (ciat-lonbarde) hardware synths. I recruited Dan Wilson of Circitfied to build the transistor/relay…
After over a year, I’m finally putting out a version of The Party Van, a free software system/instrument/environment that I built in Max. It’s also officially out of beta now and the version numbers will reflect that. It has gone…
C-C-Combine is a corpus-based audio mosiacing application, built in Max/MSP, based on concatenative synthesis. It sounds like this: And looks like this: Click here to read more about it and to download the patch.
So as you may know from some of my previous posts I’ve been doing lots of Max/MSP programming, moving my previously hardware-centric performance setup into the laptop. I recently put out the v05 version of my Party Van software, and…
The Chocolate Grinder is a software emulation of a skipping/glitchy CD player. It sounds like this: And looks like this:
So a few months ago I experienced a big paradigm shift. I had been a lofi/hardware guy for many years, but when planning my next big change in hardware, I decided it would be easier to just built it in…
