Chris Vik: Looping with Kinekt/Ableton's/MAX

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Along the lines of Tim Thompson's innovative Space Palette (Kinekt box 
live audio/visual
triggering/playing/looping system) that he just rocked at Burning Man 
(and will also be using
at the upcoming Burning Man Decompression party in Santa Cruz on Sept 
30th),
Chris Vik is rocking some cool sample and sample sequencing live looping 
going on:

From his description, his setup includes:

A live performance I did on June 1st @ Microsoft's REMIX11 conference 
using my custom Kinect/Ableton/Max setup. I've moved on from just 
controlling a bassline, and now have it setup to a whole assortment of 
virtual instruments and loop them live to create entire tracks.

Music setup:
- Ableton Live
- NI Massive
- Max/MSP (making useful MIDI data out of the hand coordinates from 
OSCeleton)
- Behringer FCB1010 (controlling Ableton, ie. looping, switching the 
Kinect's instrument etc)

Kinect setup:
OpenNI, PrimeSense's NITE, OSCeleton
