I am experimenting with some algorithmic approaches to image generation, preparing some material for live electronic music performance, driven by the sound, and I rather like this one

Experimental Video performance

Some experiments in using musical analysis to drive image generation in realtime. I am interested in video generation from the music I am making in performance and have been looking for a platform that makes interesting results - tell me what you think of this?

Singing Bowl Robot Video

Here is a little video of the singing bowl robot I have been building - this is V2 prototype. I still have some work to do to refine the leather I am using on the beater stick to get the tone I want. At the moment the tone is a bit raspy - there is also some inconsistency as I have managed to drop the bowls with motors attached a few times so they are a little inconsistent I think - some work to do there to smooth them out again... Anyway here is the beginnings of a growing thing....

The Bowls V2

Version 2 of the Singing Bowls robots.
This one is excellent - the motors are really quiet - the foam works really well - easy to work, good quietening characteristics and really strong. I am very proud of the spring loaded servo connection to the playing stick - this allows for small variations in pressure and for minor in-consistencies in the bowls symmetry. You can see the Arduino and Xbee in a pocket and the battery pack goes in the other side.
In the end I will have 6 sets that can be hung in a space generating physical diffusion of sound. I am also thinking they could be used for perambulatory performances.
I will try and upload a video in the next week.

Unencumbered Human Movement in Interactive Immersive Environments
16/12/09 10:53
I have recently revised my PhD thesis from 2002 and published it in it’s entirety on Lulu.com
My reasons for doing this is that the summaries cover a lot of what was the state of the art in 1995-2000 for interactive systems for performance and fort sensing of human movement. The book acts as an historical overview and as such is a worthwhile contribution to the historical literature and it cites a good deal of work that was current at the time, providing in a single document the links that have led to some of todays technologies and approaches.
At the time this research was undertaken, video tracking of human movement was limited and required expensive outboard equipment. I purchased a hardware version of David Rokeby’s Very Nervous System at this time for US$2200, now replaced by the SoftVNS.
If you are interested in looking at the book or purchasing it - it is available here
