A walkthrough of creative practice in music and artist development.
Coming up with ideas. linear way – no tempo running tape machine for one take wonders. Simply record adlib into anything that can record sound on sound. Sort out the tempos and align things later once the bigger picture begins to stand out and take shape.
Do not make any more than four attempts to get a take on something. Splice and comp the best bits.
Wow! This is the best explanation or Hypergamy ever! You are very articulate and I appreciate your honesty and especially the way you have explained the emasculation of men. I do not perceive you as being selfish or self-centred in any way especially now you have been honest with your intentions and plans for life (This is inspirational and world first and I have never witnessed this anywhere else in life in communicating with women!). The fact is now it is not possible for men to ‘fight it out’ socially anymore due to CCTV in public and everyone has a camera (and police intervene with nearly all social interactions now). I think the part you may be misunderstanding about the perception of social value is that ‘players’ are good at manipulating women’s perceptions at a psychological level by using a technique called ‘negging’ and also manipulating how you see their value (they are not alpha type they are simply ‘moutha’ and also very sneaky). So the fight for your attention and making you feel safe is essentially being rehearsed and staged by a small groups of moutha’s who are good at being B.A.I.T.E.R.S and Narcissistic and we can no longer protect you from them (we have an instinctual ability to sense these kinds of men and get rid of them – usually without women noticing too much – however thanks to CCTV we cannot) as these character types are pretty much owning all of the places you are likely to meet them along with the staging of the social situations you are likely to encounter (thus encouraging the process of artificial social engineering and ultimately unnatural selection). It is fantastic the way you are speaking your mind as it is making me come up with this material as a reply so keep the videos coming and I will do my best to respond. Many thanks and God Bless you.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Note: Treasure can also be words, ideas (Intellectual Property) and your level of altruism (see In Sheeps Clothing). Be careful who you talk to (see Pigs in the parlour). Use discernment.
You Cannot Serve God and Riches
24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?
15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not [c]regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 But Jesus [d]perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”
So they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
And He said to them, “Render[e] therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

INTRODUCTION
This article briefly discusses Coding Ground from Tutorialspoint for which I feel is one of the best online compilers for C++11 Programming. An online text editor and compiler offers good opportunity to try out C++11 without needing to setup a compiler or IDE on your local computer, so this is great for going through tutorials and sharing snippets of code online.
DISCUSSION
The IDE features a syntax highlighted text editor which I find to be pleasant and clean to look at. I also like the code-collapse tooltips at the side of the window, allowing the close inspection of code which needs attention. Sadly though, it does not have anything like intellisense, code completion or basic debugging tools. I think it would be nice to see in an update some basic code autocomplete and some break points, step-through, step into and continue debugging features.
FINDINGS
The ability to import GitHub projects looks like a nifty feature however I have yet to try this out. The Bash terminal at the bottom of the window in addition to compiling with gcc allows for the use of makefiles and with make and vi to edit. I am sure a few other features are available although these are out of scope for this article. A quick launch sidebar allows the quick reference to C++ Tutorials which open in a separate tab, all good stuff.

INTRODUCTION
I base this article around the need to pass command line parameters to a running program. Please note this does not seem to work with Windows yet (working in Linux and OSX not tested).
DISCUSSION
The idea is to use a set of command line parameters to execute a set of built in software tests between two or more instances of a given software and then automatically generate unit test reports. The whole thing can be automated via the sequencing of various tests in a bash script or batch file.

INTRODUCTION
Here is a quick review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 Digital Camera (Micro 4/3 Sensor). First up is the unboxing video below which is also filmed with another Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 in auto-focus.
DISCUSSION
The range and versatility of this camera is truly astounding with the standard kit lens. Even for a novice such as myself I was able to get some brilliant creative shots in low light using the manual settings. This camera really does come to life when using the manual settings and although they are not as easy to tweak and control as Canon DSLR’s, they certainly do give a wide palette of variation.
FINDINGS
The maximum video recording time for the AVCHD and MP4 mode is 29 minutes and 59 seconds as expected due to EU regulations imposed on all digital cameras. See here for more information on why the 30 minute recording time limit is placed on digital cameras. If you require more recording time onboard, look at the Blackmagic range of cinema cameras. As expected they would have paid the additional EU taxes on being able to record for longer times. The time limit is imposed via red tape and is a legal president which stops manufacturers of cameras which limit the recording time, otherwise this is declared as being a video camera. There is also a time out for standby and a menu will display on the HDMI output when left unattended for a period of time. This is applied to many cameras and consumer camcorders to stop live streamers from using anything other than professional grade video cameras for this purpose. For users of Canon DSLR’s there is discussion of extending the recording time via Magic Lantern here. The recording of RAW Video is not possible, this is only available on Canon DSLR with Magic Lantern and Black Magic design Cameras.

Here is a short talk I gave in the summer of 2008 at Goldsmiths promoting Creative Computing to ICT Lewisham College students. I am showing some of my viral web based prototypes for virtual music festival attendance (as it is the year 2008 Facebook had just hit Universities across the UK) and discussing recycling the purpose of what would otherwise be discarded technology for creative purposes and further Hacking the Playstation 2 Gametrak for the interactive Visual MIDI step sequencer Sequia software project I made in 2009. I also briefly discuss the possibility of live video streaming over the internet and the studiobus which has now transpired http://www.camobus.com/ alongside one of the first independant internet streamed music festivals (Which I engineer) here http://www.battfest.com/ – I am now working with interactive graphics and sound with EEG Biosensors attached to the human brain in collaboration with Daksyba Arts Collective here http://www.dividetoinfinity.com/blog/… and new projects here http://www.dividetoinfinity.com/
After much searching on the net for the solution, I found the solution on windows is to use multiple backslashes “\\\.\\COM15” for example.
hope this helps.

ABOUT
Daksyba are a collective of audio and visual artists from a range
of creative disciplines, combining voice, percussion, strings, didgeridoo, digital sound and video.
“Art is mostly experienced as the aftermath of the creative process. It may be composed, rehearsed, performed or recorded and as such it is but a reflection of that process. Improvisation, as a premise, invites the artist and spectator to share a moment and witness art as a unique event as it emerges, truly in the here and now” – Illi Adato, Artistic Director, Art of the Moment.
Art of The Moment is a 2 day event integrating music, dance and visual arts in fresh new ways and re-examining the relationship between the different medium. It is a celebration of art created in the glorious uncertainty of the here and now, deep in the heart of spontaneous composition.
The festival will feature contributions from the likes of the amazing Oren Marshall (collaborations include Radiohead and Charlie Haden), Maggie Nicols, Anton Mobin, Phil Minton, The Irrepressibles, Matt Black (Ninja Tune, Coldcut), h2dance, Mixmaster Morris and many other leading artists in the field.
It takes place in one of London’s most fascinating art hubs, The Albert in Queen’s Park, and is open to everyone to come and enjoy, explore, experience and get involved.

MIDI Maximilian Scope Synth
This program requires the use of a MIDI controller to work – compiled example can be found in the /bin folder. This requires .NET framework 4 (not 4.5) and Visual Studio 2010 libraries to be installed if you are on Windows. The program features a scope adapted from the ofxMaxim example in OpenFrameWorks and comprises of a mono legato triggering synthesizer. Filter cutoff is controlled by momentary on velocity switching and oscillator gate is permanantely on due to having no ADSR and quick and dirty MIDI triggering logic.
Bubblesort:
This program fills an array with random values based on the screen height and iterates through sending the value to a sawtooth oscillator. This implements switch cases – pressing 1 will Bubblesort the array to give a saw glissandi – while pressing 2 will randomise the array data again.
EEG Maximilian:
This was intended to be the main project however due to the nature of how the Emotiv headset examples are organised, I was sadly unable to suitably map the functionality to the way that OpenFrameWorks operates – this code is provided only as a means to see where I am with implementing this. The majority of the code is cut up examples from the emotiv library mixed in with MIDI and Maximilian.
MIDI Example:
I have modified this code slightly from the original supplied by the ofxMidi author Chris O’Shea. I added to the example by listing all MIDI ports by pressing ‘l’ for list and changing midi ports on the fly using a switch case with numeric input for easy testing.
videoPlayerTestModified:
This is a simple test to see how well the Quicktime library works on windows 7 x64, I simply looked into the API and set up a few cases by pressing 1,2,3 and 4 – video play speed, pause and play direction. Sadly this not work with my original video which had a higher bandwidth (had an error code -50 – I could not find the solution anywhere) so this uses the standard ‘fingers’ video.
The link to all of the above source code and materials can be found here.
Unzip these archives into your ‘myApps’ directory in OpenFrameworks.
For more info on OpenFrameWorks and creative coding as an art form, go here.
If you are on Windows, you can execute the debug app in the ‘bin’ folder provided you have all the correct Microsoft C++ Redistributable installed.
Precomplied versions of all projects can be found in their associated /bin folder for easy testing.

This post introduces some basic asynchronous message passing patterns that I’ve found useful while implementing real-time audio software. The patterns apply to in-process shared memory message passing. For the most part this post is intentionally abstract. I won’t talk too much about concrete implementations.

DMX512 terminators are easy to build; you need no more than a 5 pin XLR plug, a 120 ohm resistor, and a little time. Holding on to them once you’ve built them is the hard part. Get down to the local DIY store and buy a engraving tool, and engrave the fact that this plug is a terminator, and that it belongs to you clearly on it. You’ll still “lose” them, but at least after a few years you’ll be seeing your terminators around the place, and be able to grab them back!
The only outstanding question is what power the 120R resistor should be? In the photo below, the resistor shown is a quarter watt jobbie, chosen primarily because it looked nice for the photo. Human nature being what it is, the previous set of instructions said use a quarter watt resistor, cos that is what I was looking at whilst writing up the page.
HTML5 Fullscreen API
Until now, there has not been a standard for showing a video/movie on a web page.
Today, most videos are shown through a plug-in (like flash). However, different browsers may have different plug-ins.

The course will be taught almost entirely in C++. Don’t worry about this. We will be using some bespoke tools to make this a lot easier. You should find that in the beginning some of the ideas and processes are familiar to you. We’ll be going into a lot more depth as we go forward.
We will be approaching this stuff in two ways. First, we’ll be using some ready made objects that do everything for you and allow you to muck around. Secondly, you’ll be expected to make some of your own objects based on what you’ve learned. Throughout this process, you should pick up some great skills.

I have been delving ‘under the hood’ with Native Instruments Kore 2 lately and I am having a problem with the hardware. Quite frequently I will be editing a parameter with the knobs and the user page switches to a different page. Obviously this is annoying as I am then editing the wrong parameter!
I am guessing you may have found this page as you are having the same problem? Well, you are in luck! Check out the solution below.
Solution/Workaround: This is definitely an electrical interference problem which is not alone solved with good earth as discussed in this thread (I checked with a multimeter). When touching and/or moving encoders be sure to make contact with the aluminium housing (I usually just rest my hand on the base of the controller) and this will dissipate the interference.
Alternatively, you could also make something to fit the kensington lock on the controller which conducts to the computer case or similar. Also worth noting is the quality of cables used and are any of them close to higher voltage wires (shielding issues).
On a similar note here is a video discussing the use of footswitches:
