Some LoFi noodling with the OP-1 while on vacation in sunny Maui

#SkaterXL Mod beat-synced skateboard texture generator and randomizer.

Messing about with SkaterXL skateboard model applying textures in VUO (graphics, wheels, wood grain, grip, with masks)

Also generating random skate stickers in Max with random size, position, rotation and applying on top of graphics.

Then of course had to beat-sync and drive the whole thing with BPM Linked to Maschine and Ableton Live

Here i’m using MaxMSP Jitter node based visual scripting to create a 3D cloud of 1100 Album cover artworks. This is a remix of amazing max stuff patch with added audio reactivity

Here i’m using MaxMSP Jitter node based visual scripting to create pixellated self portrait photo mosaic from 1100 Album cover images. Patch originally created by #amazingmaxstuff it also generates in a jitworld 3D space which is extra awesome

Using some Mouse State Tracking in Max to modulate and preset morph some spooky sounds while controlling Animata animation scene. Laughing skull animates driven by laugh sound file energy.

Ableton Max for Live PS3 parameter controller updates wip

E7p8Zw6VIAIWicx.jpeg

Updating my custom PS3 Max for Live Parameter controller with:

  • multiple scalable mappings per parameter

  • gesture recording and looping

  • selectable MIDI note mapping - momentary or toggle

Potential here for some absolutely bonkers performable modulations!!

Quick realtime performance triggering drum loops and controlling cinematic sound design instruments

Acoustic with Fuzz guitar jam session. J Mascis inspired Riff. Still need much more practice.. but fun process quickly recording, committing, mixing, mastering and most important just completing an idea or learning from an inspiration.

Strega Sessions

  1. Sending Animoog through Strega for some nice LoFi vibes.

  2. Noodling with Max sending CV signals to MakeNoise Strega then sending through H9 pedal back to Max.

Social Media Distortion

Tryin' to play some more guitar.. and record it so I can over analyze how poorly I play.. need to work on my groove.

One of the things I really love about electric guitar is how crazy alive it feels in your hands, its so touchy and amplifies everything including all those mistakes.. it really reminds me of the Live feeling of playing in modular synthesis environment. I never really compared the two before but both are Live performed, electric and constantly sounding instruments waiting for many types of potential interaction.

Pandemic Art Collaboration

a pandemic collaboration with good friend and artist @jamesacrow . just having some fun exercising different moods with sound design and music and adding some movement with audiovisual experimentation #artcollab #mood #tattooart #audiovisual

Using Ableton Live and Max for Live to control Wwise via MIDI binding for prototyping purposes

Collage Composition

Collage Composition Crawling in C Major

I’ve always liked sticker collages but never really wanted to commit to using my stickers to create one.. so i’ve built several collage generators of different kinds instead to automatically collage images. They’re kinda fun and of course i always try and build in some sort of audio generation or beat synced mechanic.. because nerd.
