MSTR_DRMMR++

"MSTR DRMMR++" is a Max4Live plug-in device that uses MIR and Machine Learning to interpret incoming musical events using specific predetermined phrases in order to initiate other musical events. In this instance MD++ is being interfaced by our prototype Electro-GYILbonk~! (Miller Puckett) // Cold Gold "Basic Contact Microphone (Vancouver, BC) " system and sending control messages to the Notomoton.

Escultura Sonora- Vasco Carvalho

A escultura Caixa de Música tem a vontade de potenciar o diálogo, a comunicação, a inter-relação entre as pessoas e o espaço que as rodeia. Não reporta a um passado, vive do presente e aumentando exponencialmente a escala, representa um caixa de música que pretende re-contextualizar o espaço regenerando-o.

Arduino Pneumatic Servo Sculpture Test

Testing out my new Arduino controled pneumatic servo rig with some parts from my Machine for Preserving the Wind sculpture.

The set up is to have an Arduino uno hooked up to a pair of mouse type air solenoid valves and a pneumatic ram. There is an analog IR distance sensor as the input, and the ram has a homemade string potentiometer mounted to read its position, allowing for a closed loop control system.

The position holding is pretty close, but because the load of 20 pounds of concrete is swinging and the air pressure on one side of the cylinder is greater than the other the ram has to cycle the valves to seek the correct spot. I might try increasing the poll rate too, right now its between 50-80ms, but I could go down to about 15ms.

Currently I am running the system at about 40 psi with a flow restrictor choked down almost the whole way. I could double the pressure but I think I would start to break the wooden bits.

There is some more information and a circuit diagram on my blog: http://dbynoe.blogspot.com/2012/02/ar...

Monster Tubulum: Time to Start FINAL CUT

Time to Start (the first cut) was the first video I uploaded here - other than the ever-popular tubulum head layout animation - and has since become a clear favourite on this channel. It recently celebrated its 1000th view.

In honour of this milestone, I resolved to create a version of Time to Start actually worthy of being the most popular video on this channel.

So here it is, complete with 37 cuts and an extended intermission, for your entertainment. (it's just one of those things so terribly long you can't help but watch, hoping something will happen).

P.P.S. Yeah, that's actually me playing the audio. I built a frickin' monster tubulum, what reason could I possibly have not to use it?
