ok, i'm addicted. we have been playing here in Troy for about 2 months now, and there is some good stuff going on! there is talk of creating an RPI club so we can get some official playing space, but until then we play in the decrepit Troy City Hall parking lot. here's some links:

The League of Bike Polo - awesome forums
Troy Bike Polo - our Google group
Urban Cycle Polo (Wikipedia) - defined
Seattle Bike Polo - the guys that invented urban cycle polo

beard time lapse

i decided to shave my beard today, so i whipped up a quick Max patch to do time-lapse photography, and stuck my laptop on the bathroom shelf. here is the result.

Touchscreen: Computer Music final

Here is a link to my writeup of my composition for Computer Music. I used my touchscreen as a MIDI controller for Live, and recorded the results.

In other news, I'M DONE WITH COLLEGE! Today was my last class. I performed with the touchscreen, and Todd brought a Hang drum (check out this guy playing it). I got a video of me playing it - gonna have to get it from Todd though. It was a good end to the semester!

Now all that's left is wrap-up – tying up loose ends with the Capoeira Club, turning in documentation of my thesis presentation, and waiting for commencement...! WOOO!

Oh, yeah, I got a job at EMPAC. :D HUGELY AWESOME. I am really stoked, cause everybody there is seriously on top of their shit. It's only a 9-month fixed-term position, but it is gonna be really, really good.

My latest creation

For Computer Music class:
1. Intro & Raw Sounds	(0:40, mp3, 1.3MB)
2. Pop Music	(2:11, mp3, 4.3MB)

As explained in the intro, all sounds are sourced from field recordings that I made (with a flash recorder & stereo mic, in case you were curious). Then I totally warped them into a piece of techno music in Pro Tools (with help from the daevl).

Let me know what you think!
