Experimental anything really. I love things that are an experiment, be it music, art, electronics or most other things.
Finally starting to do something with my TouchBoard

I backed the TouchBoard on kickstarter, but ever since I got it I haven’t either had the time to do anything proper with it, and haven’t had any ideas of projects to start with it either. But the other day I started having a few ideas of things I wanted to try out. So I got the box out and started to investigate what was in there as I hadn’t looked in ages.
It’s a nice kit, and everything works or at least seems to work just fine even though I haven’t touched it in ages. I’ll hopefully get to use it for a couple of projects soon enough.
My videos: Electroplankton
One of the original forerunners of mobile music making. A game and a musical creation toy or art form. It was beautiful and inspired so much.
My videos: Pocket DJ … my first video on YouTube
A very early foray into the world of mobile music, and as such worth posting about again. These apps (although we didn’t call them apps back then) weren’t even real Palm OS apps. They were flash applets that ran inside the flash player on a Sony Palm OS device.
Strange what made sense back then. I’m struggling to think of a modern day equivalent of this.
And some more messing around with an Olegtron …

More noodling about with the Mute Synth II

A small performance with Barcodas
I know it’s a bit strange, but I actually had a lot of fun doing this, so I thought I’d share it with you.
Thinking about what to do next with my Romo
I bought the very first iteration of romo, or rather I kickstarted Romo. It was fun, once I got it working, which did take a little while as there were some issues with units in Europe. But it got there. Of course it didn’t support the iPhone 5 so when I moved from a 4 to a 5 it wasn’t workable any longer.
This situation went on until I had the 4 back, relatively recently. Since then I’ve been playing with using it with my TWINE as well. That’s sort of been fun too, but now I’m wondering what, if anything, I can do with it next. I don’t really have any new ideas for it at the moment, and it seems unlikely that Romotive will bring new features to this first iteration of the device.
Also, I never did get to the bottom of what you could do with the little aux ports on the front of the device. I would have liked to know what was possible, and why they put them there.
So for now Romo is gathering dust sadly, until I can come up with a new use. If I do, I’ll let you know.
