Dance-Controlled Music via MAX/MSP
After months of research, we've found a new direction for the future: motion controlled music!
When Cycling'74 discontinued VST support in favor of Ableton Live! integration, we realized we'd have to find a new avenue for development. We looked through thousands of sensor control systems. We were swamped. Then we were delighted to discover Yann Seznec, the Amazing Rolo, who has developed a Wii-based remote control for music looping. Here he is, showing t

MAX/MSP 5: The Demise of Pluggo
When I started looking at switching from Reaktor to Max/MSP, there were a number of factors influencing the choice: cross-platform operation, standalone distributables (users did not need to buy Max/MSP), standalone operation, and integrated support for any multimedia environment via VST/AU plugins.
Last month, Cycling'74 announced a tight collaborative agreement with one vendor, Ableton, and it would be migrating its product to a dedicated versions that works in the Ableton Live! sequencer. Si… Continue

MAX/MSP 4: Data Types
One of the big differences between Reaktor and Max/MSP is the way information for your own design is represented within the system.
Numeric Data types
Reaktor has two levels of design: primary and core. In the primary level, all numbers are stored and calculated as 32-bit floats. Some processors, such as the Celeron, do not have hardware floating-point acceleration, so mathematical calculations (especially division and transcendentals) can take up alot of CPU cycles. Reaktor also suppor… Continue

MAX/MSP 3: Polyphony
One of the great joys in modern digital music is the amazing possibilities with polyphony. My first hardware synthesizer was a WASP: an amazing little machine with a touch keyboard that cost less than $200, in 1979, from Oxford Synthesizer Company. It was of course monophonic. But I loved it so much I bought their big machine, an OSCAR, in 1987. It was $600 and sounded like a much more expensive machine, but could only manage a limited duophony. In 2001 I traded it in for a Waldorf Q. I was asto… Continue

MAX/MSP 2: Getting Beyond The Blank Screen
After installing Max 5.0 and opening it the first time, the first window to appear is a striped empty text display window named the "Max window." many programmers would more likely call it the "debugging window," and sometimes it's called the "message window" instead because, obviously, all the application's windows are, in a broader sense, Max windows. So a different name that that which appears in the window menu is often useful for clarity. I will call it the message window. However such rena… Continue

If Jerusalem is to remain the symbol of peace and tole-rance it cannot be a ghetto for anyone or owned by any particular group. In the same year that Israel celebrates 40 years of the so-called “unity” of Jerusalem, the city has been divided by force, discrimination and injustice. In the “holy city” of 2007, it seems that the only god is “security” and real estate. Israeli policy is drawing a twisting path of a wall that more than anything ensures more conflict, suffering and despair. The future of Israel cannot be built by blocking the potential of the other. Any negotiation taking place while facts and borders are aggressively being determined according to one side’s interests, is just an illusion. Without real freedom and respect of the other’s right to live in dignity, there is no basis for political negotiation. October 2007 - Resisting the Capitalist Production of Space.
“Ten Days for Oppositional Architecture” takes up the task of exploring possibilities and conditions of a socially committed architectural practice. Therefore the narrow boundaries of the profession have to be left behind. We hence invite activists, geographers, architects, planners, and economists representing different critical approaches to discuss and develop concepts and practices that not only try to oppose and challenge the capitalist mode of production of space, but also try to go beyond it – strategies of de-commodification, re-appropriation and alternative production of space. - FCForum
We, a broad coalition from over 20 countries, of hundreds of thousands of citizens, users, consumers, organizations, artists, hackers, members of the free culture movement, economists, lawyers, teachers, students, researchers, scientists, activists, workers, unemployed, entrepreneurs, creators… We invite all citizens to make this Charter theirs, share it and put it into practice. We invite all governments, multinationals and institutions urgently to listen to it, understand it and enforce it. - Provisions Library » Blog Archive » Activist Listening
Raqs Media Collective reaches well beyond the confines of the art world to appeal to communities both on and off line. “Raqs” translates into “dance” in Farsi, Arabic, and Urdu. But founding members Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta once jokingly stated, however, that raqs stands for “rarely asked questions.” - 'Vomit on the table' and speak like a 1950s hipster | Culture | The Guardian
