PatternTools

3 December 2004


not yet available separately. you can download the %crucial_library1.1.3% library and pull the folder out from there.

this is primarily just a refactoring that gives a bit more speed, and opens the door for non-delta based recording (like real time sequencing). at some point i expect to put up a new version that DOES do real time sequencing. i have this working for automation (records messages to objects), but the idea is to have it general enough to record midi, wacom, audio triggers, stock crashes etc.

Primarily this is a refactoring of the common (jmc) Pattern class. It removes the code that 'renders' the Event into an audio/spawn event, and moves that responsibility to the Event itself.

It further refactors Event into subclasses which isolate and decouple so that different kinds of Events can be worked with.

EventStreamPlayer takes any pattern or stream that returns an event stream, and plays that. It allows stop, start, step, resynch to Synth.beats.

      Sam Pluta published an article about computer based music, information theory and human control: http://www.newmusicbox.org/article.nmbx?id=5614 and then we discussed it and I posted the following to the list, so I wanted to preserve it here because it collects some of my long-standing thoughts and experiences about controllers and live computer based music. sometimes I've gotten a bunch of controllers (a few too many) and then found that it was distracting to the music. instead of it being about music it ...

    • apple goofs up airport update

      The new mac airport update breaks most audio programs. We now get nasty crackling and CPU spikes. Solution: turn airport off when making muzak. or revert the airport update: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88815&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=63b29a6140f11d35ef1b64db664f3cb5 and the thing is this is the first time in 5 months that my airport has worked with our apartment's WLAN. I've had a cable running down the hall and I can't shut my door. george clinton has two houses : one for music, one for business.

    • how to set up a local svn repository (for SC)

      How to create and maintain a local SVN repository for your private work. If you are just working locally, you don't have to run an svn server at all. Its much easier than I thought. ( this is mainly a post about working with supercollider packages. if you just want to know how to set up a local svn repository then I'll cut to the chase: svn import ~/Documents/SC3docs/felix-imported file:///Users/crucial/svn/sc/trunk/felix -m "initial felix import" then check out a working copy: ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients

Timeblind
Format: Digital
Release date: 4th January 2010
Available at
  • coltan and cassiterite Timeblind

The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)

I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.

The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
