Resolume TouchOSC - Finally

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:42:59 +0100

after what seems like a billion years, my touchOSC ipad interface for resolume 2.x is finally done. i'll test drive it at the upcoming cyberpunk party on DEC23, where i'll be vjing.

revisited:

i jsut realised Resolumes effect slots have 4 parameters instead of 3. so i redesigned the whole thing & got rid of some of the clutter in the process:

Ryoji Ikeda @ Hamburger Bahnhof

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:38:38 +0100

RYOJI IKEDA.
DB
28 JANUARY - 9 APRIL 2012

Japanese composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda has conceived an exhibition for the Hamburger Bahnhof that, for the first time, compositionally unites the two symmetrical halls on the upper level of the museum's east and west wings. The exhibition's title "db" (abbr. for decibel) refers to this symmetry while simultaneously indicating the complementary relationship between the two exhibition spaces.

Work In Progress: Cyberpunk

20 Hz

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:18:55 +0200

20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

touchOSC & Resolume 2

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:03:49 +0200

i finally got around to building the touchOSC layout for Resolume 2, now off to do the midi/osc mapping. i need to wrap my head around the whole routing OSC through PureData & midiyoke business.

or maybe i'll check out LoopBe.

Schlagstrom Festival cancelled

Updoming VJ Gigs

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:57:05 +0200

i have a bunch of vj gigs coming up. on JUL 30, i'll be doing live visuals at the schlagstrom party at dirty54, & then on AUG 26/27, i'll be back for the schlagstrom festival at the same venue.

looking forward to that & trying to get the bloody ipad thouchOSC resolume controls working till august.

GlitchHiker

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:49:19 +0200

this is brilliant:

The more lives were deducted from the pool, the less healthy the game became. Graphical glitches were introduced, the audio started glitching and black blocks started shifting around, introducing distraction in the game.

When the SYSTEM would reach zero lives, the game would shut down and go extinct. The game would no longer be playable.

Despite the valiant attempts by some players at saving the SYSTEM, which had already taken quite a hit during the GGJ event, at 21:41PM the SYSTEM executed its inevitable task and GlitchHiker shut down.

This means GlitchHiker can be downloaded but not executed anymore.

1st Annual Report

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:11:41 +0100

there hasn't been much going on here, lately. i've been swamped up betwenn by dayjob as database developer & several other little projects burning away most of my time.

in the remaining time i've been working on new live visuals for Kunst Als Strafe. i'm still undecided if i'll keep pushing the processing approach, or if i switch over to .

Animation Tag Attack

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 00:00:33 +0100

Each participant gets 4 weeks to produce between 5 and xx seconds of film. When the time is up, the clip gets uploaded to the blog and the next one in line takes over. It is up to each individual creator to pick the style and media they want to work in - and to decide how they think the story should evolve.

Kunst Als Strafe Posters

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 16:39:58 +0100

i'm working on some posters for Kunst Als Strafe. the general idea is to do at least one for each track title. we'll see.

OpenGL & Processing

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 00:27:55 +0100

ok, time to check out how this openGL business works in processing. seems to be rather straight forward. or straight backwards, really, since transformations you apply aren't applied to the existing scenery, but to subsequent additions to it, really. odd.

i plan on turning the audioreactive sketch from the Kunst Als Strafe gig into to some sort of generative audioreactive 3d landscape.

edit: it seems the best use tactic would be to not let processing do anything but instead deal out API calls directly to openGL. here's to hoping someone did a lib for this.

Kunst Als Strafe - Sound Reactive Visuals

nospam@example.com (goetz kleinhaus) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 01:08:56 +0100

this weekend i was playing the wroclaw industrial festival with my band Kunst Als Strafe, & i hacked together a processing sketch to handle sound reactive visuals matching the general glitchy & fragmented minimal aesthetics. here's what i did:

i got a stereo signal & fed each channel into a 3-band beat detector. (for the sake of convenience, let's call the bands kick, snare & hihat). the screen basically consisted of two rows of 6 rectangles each, each beat detector band would trigger one rectangle in the top row, & one in the bottom row. the kick trigger on the left channel randomized the order of the top row of rectangels, the right kick trigger would randomize the order of the lower row.

additionally, a kick trigger on any of the channels would take a snap of the screen & transform it into a jpg. the resulting binary data would then be interpreted as a black&white bitmap & DARKEST-blended onto the screen.

a video of the gig showed up on youtube demonstrating what the whole thing looked like. unfortunately the sound is completely bonkers and not representative of what we really sound like. it would seem the camera wasn't able to pick up all the deep drone-y sounds.

if you wanna take a look at the sketch, you might need to adjust the frame.setLocation() call in draw() i used to move the output to the projector to your screen setup.
