- Finally some more livecoding
I’ve been experimenting a bit with picking random notes from a scale using various voices simultaneously, so to create interesting sounds textures… and what came out is maybe a bit too random at the beginning, but getting more interesting towards the end imho … Oh yeah, the song is called ‘My Misty Morning’.
- Algorithms are Thoughts, Chainsaws are Tools
A short movie about livecoding, Andrew Sorensen (creator of Impromptu), TOPLAP and other related stuff. If you’re not familiar with this stuff, I’d say it’s the most pleasant introduction to it available at the moment! Thanks Stepher Ramsay for doing this!
- Impromptu: access the Wiki docs from the editor
>>> When you’re Impromptu-ing but don’t know the meaning or syntax of a function, the usual thing to do is calling (help function-name) to get some help about that function, or (help function-name #t) if you want to see also the examples associated with it. The help text gets displayed in the log view, so […]
- Video recordings of the livecoding session @ anatomy theatre
Finally I managed to shrink down to a reasonable size and upload the video recording from our last livecoding event at Kings College; hopefully the other people will be uploading theirs too some time soon .. >>>
- Xanadu
I made a new track with Impromptu, called Xanadu. Took me a little bit to build up the song base, then then I think it gets more interesting… … If you don’t care about the ‘coding’ side of things you can listen to a more traditional recording of the track here: Xanadu by magicrebirth
- New song with Impromptu: KALI
… Hey ya – new livecoding stuff from me on Vimeo. It’s a song I’ve been working on recently, called Kali. Unfortunately I still haven’t figured what the best export options for the original (1.6 Gigs) movie file are, so that I could create an export that looks less blurry on Vimeo.. but slowly I’m […]
- Graphics over code in Impromptu
Andrew Sorensen posted some code in the Impromptu mailing list showing how to add graphics (and various other things) on top of a code ‘image’. As usual I regret not having a whole free day to play with this, but just by messing around a bit with some parameters it’s easy to achieve some interesting […]
- Impromptu: If-mod macro
hey there – this morning I checked out a nice screencast by Ben Swift and was struck by the if-mod construct he’s using. It’s a really useful shortcut that saves you from writing a few (possibly distracting) parenthesis, so I tried to recreate it myself. To recap.. normally with Impromptu if you want to play […]
- LilyPond … music notation for everyone
The inspiration for LilyPond came when two befriended musicians got annoyed with the bland and boring look of computer print-outs. Every musician prefers reading beautiful music, so couldn’t we programmers solve that printing problem? LilyPond just does that: it prints music in the best traditions of classical engraving with minimum fuss. Don’t waste time on […]
- Impromptu & Zebra: a perfect match!
I’ve been having so much fun using Impromptu with the Zebra audiounit lately (I just got the demo version for now). Nice sounds, very stable, clear but captivating interface, easy to control programmatically via Impromptu. Think I’m gonna buy it! Zebra is a wireless modular synthesizer. It combines numerous synthesis techniques (subtractive, additive, fm, wavetable, […]
