Music Tech Pitch 4.5, November 2015

So another MTP4.5 goes by. This one was really good. I had a great panel of judges and an a great bunch of start ups who were pitching. The debate and questions were insightful and I think that the start ups all felt that they’d had a good chance to get their ideas across.

Interestingly the audience and the judges winners were identical this time, which I’m not sure I’m seen happen before.

Processing 3 and the new sound library

The last time I used Processing I was messing around with the minim library for sound. Now, in version 3, there’s the new sound library and it looks (and sounds) amazing!

I’ve only played with it a little but so far the example code looks really straightforward to read and understand. I might even start making a few things myself! Who knows.

I have to thank a very special person for their support of Movember. Erik is a developer who’s apps have given me a lot of enjoyment, and once again he’s using them to support Movember.

You can check out what he’s doing here. If you’re interested in seeing my Movember page it’s here, please take a look.

Getting to grips with Processing 3

I’ve been getting back into Processing 3. As I said when it first arrived, it’s been a while since I made things with Processing, but this version looks so much better than what’s gone before. Installing libraries and tools is now just so easy. It’s amazing. It feels like I really need to get back to making some stuff with Processing again.

UNIT has arrived

Big Finish - UNIT new series

I checked back earlier on to see when this was first announced, and it was back in Feb this year, so I’ve been waiting for this a long time. I expect that I’m not the only one by a long way.

I’m so glad that Big Finish have brought back UNIT and given it a new lease of life. I’m really looking forward to it and I have high expectations to say the least. I hope that they’re met.

Anyway, I’m off to buy it now. As always, I’ll let you know what I think of it.

Another little reminder about the SoundLab Playspace, coming up soon

It’s getting closer now, only 2 and a half weeks away now, and things are just about starting to come together, or at least it feels like that.

If you’re interested in attending or being a part of it in some way, then take a look at this page on the SoundLab web site.
