someone who's doing some things
I enjoy making things a lot. I don’t get enough time to do it though. When I do make stuff it takes all sorts of different forms, like electronics, fixing stuff (with Sugru etc), using conductive ink, conductive textiles, and the list goes on.
This is where I’ve got to with my Shruthi-1 template in TouchOSC. It’s really coming along, and I hope to be able to start testing it very soon. Of course, as you make these things more and more ideas come to you, which isn’t much help in actually finishing anything off.
Originally I wanted to release Punchdrunk as a collection of 60 1 minute songs which described a single fictitious day in a person’s life. However, I’ve never finished all the songs. So I’ve decided to release it in a series of batches.
The first batch is 20 instrumental tracks, which would have been the first 20 songs on the whole album.
After this I’ll release another two batches of instrumentals and then finally a collection of the actual songs that I did finish.

These tracks were made with Bhajis loops on a Palm PDA, a Tungsten T3, Zire 72, Tungsten E and a Song Clie NX73V.
Making things is a load of fun, whether it’s TouchOSC templates, arduino stuff, or synth kits. I’m glad to be getting back to it again after what has seemed to be a long time.
You can now find my TouchOSC page here. The long term plan is to include templates I make so that anyone can download them.
Looking forward to getting this moving, other projects permitting of course.
Sample sounds from an Arduino with no additional hardware running the Mozzi library.
I’ve been spending some time with the Mozzi synthesis library for Arduino, and it really is amazing! I had no idea that the arduino could do that kind of synthesis so well. I’m really impressed with it and now I’ve got loads of ideas for how to put it into practice.

Some more new (old) music from me that I still haven’t finished and now don’t intend to. This short collection of tracks is probably even less polished than the previous, but it is something I really liked the idea of, but just didn’t finish off in the end.
I hope you enjoy it. Just remember, it isn’t finished at all!
I found this stuff at the V&A Digital Design Weekend. It’s great fun to use and the card kit is excellent. For £10 (I think) you get three cards and all the components to make them into little electronic greeting extravaganzas. What more could you want?
The actual conductive ink is sticky stuff and requires a little patience, but it’s worth it for the finished product.
