RE: Doug's gratuitous introspective.... / Live Insect Looping?

["Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com>]

Oh now you're out of control, Ben. :) 

Yes, very tempting idea.  I like the interactive aspect. I wonder if there 
is a way to allow the audience to modify the effect and presets one uses? 
For instance, I'm laying down a loop, and some audience member tweaks 
something that switches my effect from something on my Boss VH1 to 
something on my computer, like Antares Filter. I'm afraid to ask what sort 
of contraption I would need to get audience input into a MIDI program 
change signal. A light based, effect grid projected on the wall that was 
touch sensitive by a pencil-like laser would be an easy way.  You could 
hand a few lasers out and let the audience go hog wild....could also get 
annoying for a musician after a while too.

Btw, I'm still warming up to the idea of programs that "create" music for 
me....it either scares me, or intrigues me...one, the other ,or both...

From: "Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com> ....what I really wonder is if 
someone has used live insects in a live performance setting. It would be 
like me bringing my USB enabled microscope, and showing real protozoa and 
amoebae on an overhead projector while I was playing...damn, I wish I 
could afford to do that....
----
Or better... detect the move (X-Y coordinates) of the beasts in the range 
defined by the overhead circle and use this to CC some midi controlled 
value (filters, pitch,...).
I think someone (from the nord modular list?) made such an experiment with 
an I-cube, a camera, a goldenfish and a water tank.
Cheaper is to use some program like sounder (www.sounder.com) which allow 
the audience to "link" an image to the sound produced. You can even use 
any picture to represent the bouncing objects, so use a bug if you want to 
;-) If someone has other tools in this "trend" I'm interested.
Creating image from sound (VJing) is cool but improvising or generating 
sound from on an image is more interresting I think.

Just my 2c,

Ben.
