here’s the third in this week’s song of the week series using the monome and boiinngg.
for this one i used a synth called automat which is really nice (and free).
this setup happens to do a great Krzysztof impression (apologies to mike) although some might say it’s more Raymond Scott or Terry Riley-like.
i have video for this as well, which i may upload later.

again, using the monome and boiinngg, a quick improvisation.
it’s frighteningly easy to make get a terry riley / steve reich type thing happening.
so much fun, i could do this forever…

here’s a video of me having fun with the monome. i am using a Max patch called boiinngg to trigger the drums in Ableton Live, using the Impulse plugin.

can a video be “song of the week”? sure!
… how can something that has no capability to make sound on its own be so inspiring and useful to a musician?
above: the monome64, a totally configurable input/output light/button box that works with Max/MSP, chucK, OSC (Open Sound Control) and MIDI.
designed and built by hand by a couple in the catskills who are committed to open-source and sustainability (as well as a refreshing minimalistic aesthetic). with a really friendly and creative user community, there are loads of free applications for it that you can edit or add to. search vimeo for “monome” on to see what i mean.
