I photographed the numbered street signs from 1st to 86th Street, and made a simple video loop. I used it at the FUKT VJ gig at Club Asia on June 30th, 2007. I had a lot of fun bouncing the playback direction back and forth, and changing the playback rate. I will try to get […]
Last term I created a piece called Neon/Music, a Max/MSP patch that analyzes video clips for motion and color information and uses it to generate music. For my recent Tokyo trip and performance, I wanted to update it with footage from New York, and more interesting sounds (the original uses general MIDI piano sounds).
I […]
For my last meal in Tokyo (on this trip at least), went to Butagumi in Nishi-Azabu. This place, whose name roughly translates as “Pork Gang” specializes in tonkatsu, deep fried pork cutlet. And when I say “specializes”, I mean that they treat their meats with the kind of obsessive attention usually found only in […]
Loud Objects – the Tokyo edition! Kunal Gupta trained Kiyotaka Nakano, Ben Jarrett and myself for the Watermelon Noise Feast at Superdeluxe, Tokyo.
Astro played his amazing noise symphony, and Shantell Martin accompanied him with her trademark live drawing at the Watermelon Noise Feast, held at SuperDeluxe in Tokyo.
Just got back from Sipadan in Malaysia. Amazing dive site – loads of sharks, sea turtles, barracudas and every variety of colorful reef fish. Sipadan Water Village is a very well-organized scuba resort. As soon as they get their quota allocation from the government (only 120 divers at any time on Sipadan), they plan […]
Well, actually, it isn’t. Found it in Sim Lim Tower (Singapore), marketed as Nano Gen II. It has a bigger screen, built-in speaker, FM radio… and a diabolically useless user interface, all for S$55. (The real iPod is on the left…)
A big, yet strangely refreshing, production!
Come to SuperDeluxe in Nishi-Azabu for the super-sized version of Neon/Music and Loud Objects performance, with special mystery guests! I’ll be performing Neon/Music in its full-scale triple screen goodness, with enhanced sonification. The Loud Objects have boosted their numbers with brave volunteers, and will be building and playing […]
Played first gig of the ITP Japan tour, with Tristan and Kunal. I played Neon/Music, Tristan and Kunal (also from ITP) performed the Loud Objects. Victor found the venue and brought in DJs to make it a very complete evening. It was great to meet with a lot of my friends there!
As for […]
I was in Sakuraya (a large Japanese electronics retailer) today, and saw something interesting: Of the 20 models of video camcorder that they had on sale, only 3 used DV tape. One of these was a Sony HC-7 (HDV) and the other two were from Panasonic and Canon. Every other camcorder there recorded to DVD-R […]
