Exploring M4L & The Finger: Ax34 Suimle

Ax34 Suimle by Veqtor
First audio demo/track using Ableton Live with the Max 4 Live Beta and Tim Exile's The Finger. All control data is generated through different infinity-row generator max devices. One drum track, manipulated by two instances of The Finger. And two instrumental tracks, notes are infinity row again, one instance of The Finger on each. Loads of filtering and dynamics processing, controlled by M4L LFOs. I love this kind of over-the-top complex processing.

This track will be released on Fools Forest.

Iterations - Quadraphonic piece premieres friday 15/05/09

Sorry for the short notice, I've been REALLY busy, no time to update my blog.
On friday my quadraphonic piece iterations will be played to the public on the "Ljudvågor" festival in Visby. It's a piece which I've been working for ever since I moved to here. What makes me proud of it is that I've managed to combine all my old techniques with new found ones and done things I've always wanted to try out, all in 6:42.

Just a small list of things I'm using: My modular (AFG, Z3000, A-106-1, A-106-6, A-132-3, A-143-1, A-189-1 and A-196), Reaktor (custom patches), Max/MSP (for algorithmic stuff), DtBlkFx, Ableton Live, Logic Studio (surround mixing, panning, quadraphonic reverbs etc)

I will try to find some proper medium to get it online somehow, for you to burn onto dvd-audio discs or whatever, in 5.1. Also it might be available in stereo on my upcoming release in june... =P

Eden of the East

I just finished watching the first episode of Eden of the East, a really promising new anime, written and directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Seirei no Moribito) and produced by Production I.G. The plot pulled me in right away and the animations are extremely well done, I can hardly wait for the next episode! Here's the trailer:

Multi-touch for Max 5 and potentially Live 8

"Max Multitouch Framework by composer Mathieu Chamagne makes turning your Max patch into a multitouch interface a breeze. When I first reviewed the Lemur, I was frustrated by the hardware-style abstraction between your software and the interface. Why was I having to go through Max patches painstakingly assigning Lemur controls to Max controls - why not just make the Max controls appear on the multitouch screen? Well, that’s exactly what you get with MMF. Using a set of Max abstractions, all you have to do is build your Presentation Mode style UI and add in the MMF ingredients - it automagically becomes touchable on a variety of displays."

via Create Digital Music

This should be easily incorporateable into Live 8 I hope... Man, the future is looking bright, multi-touch, live 8 w. max for live, motu interface interfacing with my modular... I can hardly wait...
