Nearest Neighbor

New video made for BEAMS Western Canada Drone Day Celebration, May 28, 2022.

Particles move around, edges connect nearest neighbors (and almost nearest neighbors). Sound determined by edges, including the number of connected components of the resulting graph.

New EP

My new EP, This is where we live and I am standing on the porch, is now available. No sine waves, no clipping: I like how this one came out.

sound bath

I've enjoyed sound baths at a local yoga studio a number of times before the pandemic. I thought to try to create a similar kind of audio experience. This is a first stab.

Csound recursion

I read Victor Lazzarini's excellent new book, Spectral Sound Design, recently and was inspired to try some recursion in Csound. This is the result of some quite simple Csound code that causes a single sound event to generate two more sound events, etc., with various limiters to prevent a runaway situation. I like it enough to try more, for sure.
