I started testing the audio side of the software last weekend, to see how it fared during performance. The sound manipulation is working well. The visual side of things keeps changing, I have been using a lot of open gl to render the audio information, its coming to a point where I need to decide what meets the criteria of my research. Some early example screenshots.
The Open Ear event was a success. Unfortunately Matt had to pull out of the evening but otherwise there were excellent performances from Joe Banks/Disinformation and Ampersand. I played an improvisation piece in the interlude between Joe and Ampersand, it was a useful exercise as it suggested pointers on the things to improve with the software. The next event planned is in March 11. Garrett Lynch is curating the next event entitled “Cinema” hopefully all being well “Semiconductor” will be playing. Ive got a lot of work to do to get my software ready for next event!

Myself and Matt Wright were on the Dominic King show last Wednesday on Radio Kent. The interview was more about the new Sonic Arts programme that Matt will soon be running rather than Open Ear, though this does get a mention. I created a sound art piece especially for the show using the some of Matt’s speech.
