Between July 21-25 of 2008, I taught the 13th annual MaxMSP Night School, hosted by CNMAT. This was the 9th year I taught at the night school, crazy!

I have posted all course material on CNMAT's 2008 Max/MSP Night School page.

After party for the Minneapolis Bicycle Film Festival, got a few moments to paint the wall with light....

I've been working on some software and electronics for Robin Mandel in order to realize his Storm. First I made a Arduino-MIDI-output-translator application that converted MIDI out of GarangeBand to on and offs on the Arduino's Digital Outputs. Then I integrated the MIDI playback into the translator application.

ArduinoBt, talking to Max/MSP, using SimpleMessageingSystem. Had many many troubles with this "programmer not responding" bull shit, but got it going eventually... still doesn't exactly stay up for hours. (i.e. get in touch if you're one of the other brave few trying it!)

Demonstration of a little stand alone application for translating MIDI to an Arduino's digital outputs.

The editable MaxMSP patch (and many more things) are a part of aLib. You will find the patch in the "for controllers" folder, within the "Arduino" section.

This application uses
-SimpleMessageSystem library for the Arduino platform.

I'm teaching a course along with Professor Doug Geers from the School of Music, on the topic of treating time. The course is titled Interdisciplinary Media Collaborations: Treating Time and here is the course description.

This continues to be an incredibly rich playing field....
