- New livecoding screencast: Ziggurat 51
So hard to find time to do something creative these days. So I thought I’d post a screencast of a livecoded piece I’m still working on: Ziggurat 51. Hope you’ll find it interesting! In the video I’m using the mixer UI I’ve previously talked about here. I quite like it, as you can see it’s […]

Live-processing is a Processing clone with livecode capabilities. It’s written in Clojure, a recent java-based dynamic programming language which I reviewed elsewhere and it keeps getting back at me…
- New song: Turborobot
It’s a bit of an electro/eighties-sounding/disco tune.. Here’s the live-coded version: And here’s an audio recording, for the faint-hearted: Turborobot by magicrebirth
