sam pluta wrote some live video software. It’s inspired by glitchbot, meapsoft<\/p>\n
glitchbot records sequnces and loops and stutters them. Records 16 bar phrase and loops and tweaks it. I think i have seen this. It can add beats and do subloops, etc<\/p>\n
the sample does indeed sound glitchy<\/p>\n
probability control can be clumsy in live performance. Live control of beats is hard.<\/p>\n
MEAPSoft does reordering.<\/p>\n
his piece from the last symposium used a sample bank which he can interpret and record his interpretting and then do stuff with that. So there are two layers of improvisation. It has a small initial parameter space nad uses a little source to make a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n
i remember his pice from last time<\/p>\n
what he learned from that was that it was good, especially for noisy music. And he controlled it by hitting a lot of keys which was awesome<\/p>\n
he wrote an acoustic oiece using sound block. Live instruments can do looping differently, you can make the same note longer.<\/p>\n
so he wrote michel chion’s book on film and was influenced. He started finding sound moments in films. And decided to use them for source material.<\/p>\n
sci-fi films have the best sound, he says.<\/p>\n
playing a lot of video clips in fast succession is hard, because you need a format that renders single frames quickly. Pixlet format is good for that.<\/p>\n
audio video synch is hard with quicktime, so he loaded audio into sc and did a bridge to video with quartz composer.<\/p>\n
qc is efficient at rendering<\/p>\n
he wanted to make noisy loops, like to change them. You can’t buffer video loops in the same way, so he needed to create metaloops of playback information. So looped data.<\/p>\n
a loop contains pointers to movies clips, but starts from where he last stopped. Which sounds right<\/p>\n
he organized the loops by category, kissing, car chases, drones,etc<\/p>\n
this is an interesting way of organizing and might help my floundering blake piece.<\/p>\n
he varies loop duration based on the section of the piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
