Loop Station-like AU plug-in

I started working on a max/msp patch that'd do what the Boss Loop Station pedals do: layering loops in real-time. I don't have much experience with max so it was a good project to get better skills. Version 5 of max has really brought some great improvements, like the …

Ujino Muneteru's electric bento

Following my post about Dekotora, I thought I'd talk about japanese artist Ujino Muneteru who could have been a Dekotora driver from an aesthetics standpoint.

Since 2004, he's been building instruments called "Rotators" which are a well crafted mix of sundry household …

Back in time

I thought it'd be a good following to the post about Rotators; John Cage performing his brilliant "Water Walk" composition on NBC in 1960.

Dekotora

Dekotora(????) is an abbreviated word which stands for "Decoration trucks" in Japan. Dekotora consists in loudly decorating trucks with extravagant shiny stainless steel parts, colorful paints (who said kitshy?) and flashy lights.

Lucien was cool

Great sunny afternoon in Fribourg last saturday. The Jardin de Lucien was a very nice place; great view, a big tree giving some shadow and cool people. The line-up was pretty eclectic, from acid techno to french song. I can't say I performed well; my computer crashed …

Big ideas

When it comes to remixing a song from a big group like Radiohead, there are tons of guys producing ugly 4/4 club remixes and a few who create something truly original. James Houston, who's just graduated from the Glasgow School of Art, definitely belongs to the second …

I played yesterday at oblo. Below are some pictures and a video.

Very few people came but from what I heard they enjoyed the show. Unfortunately I couldn't do visuals as there was no plug that fit my video output.

As usual I can't say much about my set. I had definitely …

@ oblo with Dave Phillips

I'll be playing at oblo in Lausanne on saturday. The main act will be Dave Phillips presenting his field recordings work. I'm glad to do a support act for him but I know he's gonna tell me if I'm bad at it!

So I'm now preparing my setup... I bought a microphone a few …
