I am having recurring
problems viewing live real video from my computer. Being one who sometimes needs
to be walked through certain "difficult" applications, I am wondering
if anyone would be willing to enlighten me as to how to gain access to a live
real-video stream...specifically ARS Electronica Festival 1999 (9/9/99 Carl
Stone [utilizing a Powerbook and MAX/MSP loopnology] will be performing his
9-minute tape piece entitled SpeedGuel as part of "Recombinant
9/9/99", the final event featuring Ikue Mori, Otomo Yoshihide, and Scot
Jenerik as well). Any help (directions, ideas, web-sites) will be beneficial.
On another distant looping
note, I finally paid off my Echoplex DP and am thoroughly enjoying the creative
possibilities. It meshes with my "style" well. Strangely it is a brand
new piece of equipment, yet came with a surprising 53 seconds of memory (-only
expecting 12secs.)! Is this normal? I'm not complaining. My vortex should arrive
via Palomba Music in NY anyday. The owner Benny ROCKS! Well recommended.
Furthermore my insatiable
queries into unorthodox guitar signal processing has brought me across an
interesting synth called a Microwave XT by Waldorf. Does anyone have knowledge
of this wonder. It looks very appetizing! http://www.waldorf-gmbh.de/
Evidently, with a 1/4" input you can plug anything from guitar to vocals
into this thing and tweek it into the next millenium. Nice! Perhaps, though, all
I really need is the 4-pole filter thingy which is much less expensive and just
as devastating. Peace in,
Jamie
p.s. This echoplex software update songs
tantalizing! Granulations? wow.
