Always wonderful to be working with good people. Along with "yann seznec":http://www.theamazingrolo.net/ and "mike greer":http://www.deepfriedconcepts.com/, I am proud to present the preview video for mujik, our upcoming iPhone software.
Some technical details, for those that can stomach the stuff. This was built with the wonderful "openframeworks":http://www.openframeworks.cc/, using some ideas that I jotted down during the workshop given during the "art and code conference":http://artandcode.ning.com/.
The audio is done using remoteIO, which may not have been the smartest decision, but certainly worked. I think for future projects I am going to experiment with using audioqueues, partially because they seem like a much easier interface, and partially because they might not require as much optomization in my audio routines.
All of the textures ended up needing to be compiled into texture atlases, so we could fit them all in. The iPhone (<=3G) has an extremely small texture memory and we had to look for any place we could to shave bytes. I can't wait until everyone is on 3GS or greater, the graphics capabilities of the phone have been changed so much it is rediculous.
There are a few more things to iron out, but look for this coming out in july.
HiTEC (Histrionic Thought Experiment Cooperative), the 22 member experimental orchestra founded by tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE will be playing its 2nd gig as part of "The End of Television event":http://theendoftelevision.blogspot.com/
I have won a film festival with the video below:
Kind of suprising, I totally expected it to get boo'ed. I made the video for thing a day back in 2006, and only sent it out to the disposable film fest. Luckly I had expected to send it to some other festivals, so I had a high res version around. My hard drives crashed twice between the time I made it and the time I entered it, so there was only the youtube copy and my unmailed dvd submissions.
Also, my buddy k9d got inspired by the flying destructicate, and started doing microbooks. Check out "dinoaids":http://www.dinoaids.com for the releases. "I just did one of covers for the TWR project":http://dinoaids.com/006/dinoaids006-the-wizard-rises.pdf. They are super tiny, you just need a color printer and standard paper to print and assemble them. I like the lo-res netlabel nonsense aesthetic approach he is taking with the whole project.
I am still looking for a netlabel to deal with releasing my jonbro-something album, but I am getting closer and closer to just posting it here. I think the legs on that project are becoming increasingly feeble.
