New Show

On the radio

ACRID SESSIONS

_______________

on 9thfloorradio.com

session2- October27th 7pm

evan morris, king of lostscience.org, the guy with that controller, the only non lesbian or asian driving a scion, will be performing his special brand of electronic musics, 8 bit hip-hop id-m&ms thugged out on a middle school tip. Perhaps some new choons from his midi-nes based album (untitled as of yet, my suggestion: 'take it out and blow on it') And an interview, and a rock block of his favorite things including influences and current faves like happyhardcore,nate dawg, and various beats both block rocking and otherwise.

session3- November10th 7pm

Wyatt Gurp aka kevin, baron von circuitry, gamer extrordinaire, wearer of heightening shoes will be providing a set of his tunes. Carefully carved from the bones of fosilized toys, biggie tracks and video games of ill repute his magical tunes bring to mind the magesty of a unicorn stopping/dropping/rolling to put out its flaming desire to dance. His baby, the circuitry web site/web label/blog/lol cat host should be fully operational and perhaps some of the precious data from there will be shared. And an interview (q: do you play basketball?) and some o' his favorite musics which hopefully will span his indie roots through his fresh cocoon of psy-trance which keeps him warm at nights.

nds beta v2 DONE

I added controls for changing the start/end positions of the sample and a control that will shift this loop window across the wavform, and a fine tuning control. I also fix a bunch of bugs and cleaned up a lot of the code.
Sorry about the wait I have been trying to finish my two master theses over that last few months which has left me with little freetime. I just finished school this month and finally had the time to finish this up. Though I need to find a JOB at the moment. So, I'm not sure when I will have version 3 done.

Futuristic Music Design +ME

Yo I'm going in the Challenge. So come and check it out>
If you want new ideas about design and interaction, ask a musician. Before the Wii remote, the iPhone, Microsoft’s Surface, and Minority Report, musicians were trying oddball ideas for music performance. That hasn’t slowed down, either, from the futuristic and space-y to down-and-dirty acoustic techniques. We’ve got quite a gamut coming up for our madcap, sound and noise-packed hour of competition happening this Saturday at NASA’s Ames Research center during Yuri’s Night, and we’d love to share them with everyone online.

For starters, here’s the rundown of the projects with links to project sites and artists, and all the judges:

Futuristic Music Design Challenge: Meet the Competitors, Judges

Join the event on Facebook

The projects: the Bubblegum Sequencer (previously on CDM), The Box custom hardware with colored lights + Reaktor ensemble, the surface-temperature tangible interface table Weather Report (previously on CDM), the strange polygonal Kromatron wireless instrumental interface, the Thimbletron gloves-as-samplers with lab coated performers project (previously on CDM), the bicycle wheel and analog tape Looping Pedal (previously on CDM), the computer-powered musical saw WaveSaw, the 28-string just-intoned microtonal casmolyra, the turntablist custom software ammoBox and the GrooveStep DS pattern maker (previously on CDM).

I’m also pleased to announce…

The judges:

* Roger Linn, father of the modern drum machine (in my opinion, anyway) and creator of the MPC60 for Akai, plus recent creations — and he plays the mandolin
* Liz Enthusiasm, lead singer of Freezepop (check out their albums or just play a Harmonix game) and evidently an expert on Dr. Pepper
* (Matt) Ganucheau, a mastermind of Yuri’s Night’s music and art, a composer and sound designer (and teacher of sound design for games), an electronic musician, and creator of the NSFW "foreplay robot" Moaning Lisa
* … and yours truly as emcee

Speaking of Roger Linn, Tom at Music Thing just posted an auction on the pre-Akai prototype.

Hopefully we’ll get to do some quick interviews with the judges, as well, for Planet CDM. Stay tuned on yuricdm.com.

New Record soonish


I am also working on a new record "The Dark Castle of the Unicorns" that should be done in a few weeks. Most of the tracks have been done for awhile but, I have been kind of lazy about putting everything together into a full album.
<--- cover art for the album

nds beta v2 Almost there

Yes I'm still working on this even though korg is releasing their synth ds thing. I figuring I can do my own thing because, yeah I'm going to make mine cooler then their's.. I mean what is cooler then DIY... I'll tell you... NOTHING!!!
Anyway, I got everything working and all I have to do is finish up a few thing here and there.

new box finished

I finally finished wiring my new midi box all together and reconfiguring my reaktor patch to fit the new spec. Away once I am completely finished, I'll post a post about it. I need to watch henry:portrait of a serial is on IFC, it looks like it is going to be awesome.
Anyways next is to finish the nds synth and my music thesis that is what it up for this new month.

new box




So I have been redoing my newer midi interface to make it more like a bigger version of the one that I play live with. I'm adding 32 knobs and resetting the buttons to a more user friendly placement. I also didn't want to make it not look like a monome.. because that is not me. After this hardware project I am going to build a sidbox which, is the ucapps version of sidstation but, better and way more cooler because, what is the funny of spending 1,000 dollars for something you can build for yourself for around $200. DIY !!!!!!
The nds synth project will be done is about two weeks if I was to guess. I have most of it done and need to test and compile a few things. We will see. Most of what I have been doing was building a file saver for the presets for the 16 channels of audio. In retrospect, I probably should have not written all this code (over 1,000 lines) because, since this is going to be controlled by midi sequencers on computer that could easily save the preset for each project. Though there will be no way for the computer sequencer could save the files that are saved in the fat directory but, I guess I could assume that the files from the fat would always be loaded to the same position in the fat array structure. It could however run into problems since I wouldn't want to load all raw sound files into the memory. More things to think about I guess.

more nds FatNess

So I finally got most of the NDS Fat System loaing work out. It is however taking me a lot longer then I expected to write the file format to save the Presets of all the nds sound channels in a smooth and polymorphic way. Though I am writing mostly in the straight c because, my plan to learn c++ or at least the hierachitical elements of the language, has been put on hold until I finish the this file loader. I have written almost 500 lines of code plus comments, all straight with out compiling which seems really dangerous to me who has never written I file format loader in something like c. I have done basic text processing in php,pearl, ruby, etc but these language are not as complicated as using fread, fwrite, fIwantToConfuseYou... it is maybe not that bad and infact it isn't. Though I isn't a cake walk either. I'm thinking once I get this working I will be pretty much done with Version 1. I'm not sure if I can take the mental abuse to create a version 2 but, I will need to take a serious break before I come back to this. Plus I still have to finish writing the documentation for this software, and finish my thesis about it... oh and I have to finish my music thesis. work work work

NDS Synth Fat Fixed

So I recently fixed the issue I was having trying to load samples off rom card using the Fat Spec. What seems to have been the problem is that the flags in the arm complier need to be set to a different chip. I found this out by comparing my MakeFile against that of what was in the PALIB test files which, were working. I'm not sure if the devprokit is were I got those flags from. The process of putting together the Makefile for me to compile my scripts was really insane since, I need to have it link to my coded arm7 main file since that is where all the sound source code is. Oh, the ds has to processors an arm9 and arm7, so what that means is that you have to write two different programs to run on each processor. It is a was a little bit tricky for me to first get my head rap around but, after awhile it seem kind of easy. So, with this fix I will be able to have people load their own samples in the synth. Though it wouldn't have a file browser right off, since that will take me a least a week to implement and develop, so, instead it will just load files out of a wav directory into memory automatically.
On other fronts I haven't been able to test out my midines/reaktor setup yet because, I have got my powersupply or my 73 pin cartridge slot in the mail yet... the same is also true for my parts for my redux interface.

nds synth project getting closer to a version release

I have been working really hard on my nds synth project and have been getting closer and closer to have a new and improved version completed. I had to embed the samples into the rom itself because I was having a lot of trouble getting the fat libs working with everything else that is going on. I having a funny feeling that it might have something to do with the wifi setup functions, because I have been having a lot of issues when I completely remove their implementation from the rom... "problems" like the sounds refuse to play. I've got around this problem by having the wifi run but, it no longer locks up the system if it can't connect to a wifi host. This isn't a very good way to do it but, it is a hack that works and at this point that is all I care about... it working.

midines and reaktor

Yes, I am working on a way of adding midines to my liveset. I am developing a way to use reaktor as sort of midi remixer, so that it can control the midines live. Most of the Reaktor stuff is already done for the most part, though I am thinking of adding a way to process midi files into something that reaktor can understand... It seems kind of strange that Reaktor can't read midi files. All of this will have to wait because, I need to replace the 72 pin connect in the nes to make it work.
