dan st. Clair is talking about his awesome instillation which involves speakers hangong from trees doing bird like rendition of ‘like a virgin’, which is utterly tweaking out the local mocking birds.<\/p>\n
when he was an undergrad he did a nifty project with songs stuck in people’s heads. It was conxeptual and not musical.<\/p>\n
when he lived in chicago he did a map of muzak in stores on state street, including genre and de;ivery .ethod. He made a tourist brochure with muzak maps and put them in visitor centers.<\/p>\n
he’s interested in popular music in environemtnal settings<\/p>\n
max neuhaus did an unmarked, invisible sounds installation in time square. Dan dug the sort of invisible, discovery aspect.<\/p>\n
his bird e.ulator is solar powered. Needs no cables. Has an 8bit microcontroller. They’re cheap as hell.<\/p>\n
he’s loaded frequncy envelopes in memory. Fixed control rate. Uses a single wavetable oscillator httP:\/\/www.myplace.nu\/avr\/minidds\/index.htm<\/p>\n
he made recordings of birds and extracted the partials.<\/p>\n
he throws this up into trees. However, neighbors got annoyed and called the cops or destroyed the speakers.<\/p>\n
he’s working on a new version which is in close proximity to houses. He’s adding a calddendar to shut it down sometimes and amplitude controls.<\/p>\n
he has an IFF class to deal with sdif and midi files. SDIFFrames class works with these files.<\/p>\n
there’s some cool classes for fft, like FFTPeaks<\/p>\n
he’s written some cool guis for finding partials.<\/p>\n
his method of morphing between bird calls and pop songs is pretty brilliant.<\/p>\n
