Wonky Betablocker DS movie
More work on Betablocker DS. Note playback cues work (after spending some time scratching my head over the affine transformations on the nds). I find these essential for visual feedback when livecoding. I also appear to be maxing out the graphics chip, which fails pleasingly gracefully – stopping rendering rather than framing out – some…

New version of Betablocker DS
Pocket touch livecoding in assembler. More sounds, better icons, pointer visualisation, new programming system, thread control and visualisation (finally also using the top screen). Source and rom. The colours look much better on the real hardware.

Tampere building projections
Following on from the Pixelache Urban Projection Lab, we were invited to take part in the Tampere Architecture Week “Night of Lights” to brighten up a dark November Finnish evening. Luckily we didn’t have to brave the -12 degree temperatures the whole time, as we had some protection in the form of a temporarily repurposed…

Piksel 2010 (un)stable
Piksel 2010 (un)stable was the 8th piksel, and the second time I’ve been lucky enough to participate. I was there to present Naked on Pluto and general livecoding duties. I didn’t have as much time or energy to get involved with the other things going on as I’d have liked, so this is mainly a…

SchemeBricks GUI work
Some schemebricks hacking in preparation for a workshop I’m doing with Alex McLean at Piksel in a few weeks. This is just a case of making it work a little bit more like you’d expect – messing with empty parentheses:

Al Jazari bootable USB version
I’ve been preparing an Al Jazari installation (split screen, 4 player livecoding action) for the funware exhibition at MU – part of the STRP festival. Due to various difficulties with my nordic location, we’ve decided to try getting it running on a bootable USB stick, which I can send via post, and can be run…

Livecoding @ AltParty
AltParty was really impressive. I love how in Finland the demo scene is vibrant and branching out to new areas. This is ESA Mars researcher and Winner of 2009 Move An Asteroid Competition Sini Merikallio describing how a solar sail works: There were lots of people doing new things with old tech, hardware hacking and…

manSEDANse 2010
I took a little train journey up to Tampere to present pure:dyne and fluxus and introduce livecoding in the manSEDANse festival. I couldn’t stay for as long as I wanted, but managed to get some pictures of the exhibition they were showing as part of the festival. KOKOMYS: ELECTRONIC DEVICES – Four port NAND synthesizer…

Betablocker DS is livecodable
Betablocker-DS can now be programmed, and I’ve spent the last week testing it on public transport (with headphones…) Lots of niggles to fix, and not enough samples, but the basic interface works. The DS has such a nice feel – it also seems like a more appropriate interface than the gamepad version. It’s still not…
