Pixelpusher and The Cane Toads at Shunt
The Cane Toads at Shunt 1 Oct 2009
The Cane Toad Orchestra featuring PixelPusher (or so I like to call it) is playing Shunt next Thursday, Oct 1, 2009, as part of Toplap’s Livecode stage. That’s right, we’ll have no choice but to make some livecoded music and visuals, and that means sonic and visual anarchy of the most chill quality, kind of like a nice late-season muscat dessert wine, full of bite but thick with sweetness like a long summer day. (I think that was a triple-simile, and I might have twisted my ankle landing that one.)

More fun with old-tymey animations in fluxus, “parenting” objects so they move together, and making rings of things

There’s a viewing night on May 19th. If you’d like to come along, please email me as I’ve got to book spaces.
The instrument will be played by a select group of keyboard players, and then available to be played by anyone who’d like to.
Alternatively, the installation runs between May 19th – 30th, between 10am and 5pm.
Please feel free to come down and tickle the ivories.
Resonance Ghent Review
Resonance Livecoding with Gabor and PixelPusher, photo by Dave Griffiths
Resonance Ghent invited a group of livecoders, audio and visual to perform livecoding all day in the delightful little gallery Espace Ladda, next to the Vooruit cutlural center, in the center of town. As a piece of what can almost be described as “productive performance art” we sat in a tight circle of laptops enmeshed with projectors and surrounded by projection screens, grinding out audio and visuals from live software coding. Interested people wandered around us, and occasionally asked what we were doing, sparking off some pleasant conversations about all things art, code, visual, and audio.

Two Music Videos for Cheju
I’m proud to say that two music videos I’ve created for Cheju’s new album, Broken Waves, were just released, and promptly sold out! You can still watch them on Youtube and at the end of this post, though:
Noise Spears Processing Sketch
This is my suped-up version of the old flight404 and toxi Processing sketch – it uses Perlin noise to create a moving field of very organic-looking daggers. toxi used it for hairs, and now I made an intricate version that uses 3D daggers drawn using OpenGL.
