Photographic evidence of my being at the Potteries HackSpace: I’m working on (fixing and) making some alterations to my Vibrati Punk Console using reclaimed switches and stuff… I had planned to use a reclaimed LED, but found that new ones are so much brighter for the same energy usage!

Live Coding in MaxMSP
Laurence Counihan clicking a heart shaped glyph today triggered a notification to me that brought one of my video recordings form 2010 to my attention… I couldn’t remember what happens in ‘live code Max MSP 20100220‘, so I watched it again. live code Max MSP 20100220 from Samuel Freeman on Vimeo. I saw that Counihan…

continued, complete, and to be continued
Continuing, and completing, looking back at the collection of ‘improvised’ video offerings that have accumulated on vimeo in the past few weeks (not including the past few days – I’ll have to get to that tomorrow!), and contemplating possible destinations for this research… This CreativePact would have ended today-ish, but because I did not get…
a process
never mind why, here’s what: each page shows ten links to videos as image and title pairs, they don’t all fit on screen so one must scroll down to see them all; whilst scrolling, some of the linked video pages are clicked in such a way that they load in new tabs; …
Return of the Pact
September is here – it’s the traditional month for CreativePact – and in the two weeks or so since I last posted there have been about 250 videos uploaded to vimeo that are returned by a search for ‘improvised’, sorted by date. On the CreativePact side of things, it’s clear that I’m just not focussed…
This is Not a Remix
After noticing that Kirby Ferguson has released the first part of his long-in-the-making new documentary series This is Not a Conspiracy Theory, I noticed that the series (which included some work-in-progress updates that were published over the last six months) is available through the on demand area of vimeo. The price is $12 for the…
uke-yello (October 2013)
after some busy days, it’s time to get back to this CreativePact thing… On the 16th (two days ago) I had a quick look back at some of the ‘improvised’ videos that had been uploaded to (using this search url) and bookmarked some of them. One of those is no longer available; this one is…

Activity whilst AFK
I have been AFK for most of this week, but there has still been activity on the inclusive improv group in that time:
Rescued guitars
The description of this one tells of the work undertaken to restore guitars that are have been abandoned or neglected… to someone who has a slowly growing collection of such instruments, this (which is part of a series of) video(s) inspires in multiple ways: Alain’s Guitars – Impro #1: Ouverture from Josue Febles on Vimeo.…
Melodica improv
A few technical hitches with rendering the video for this one… here’s a preview posted here whilst sorting that out: The video is now uploaded: Showing an improvised melodica part to an experimental work in progress titled ‘stretch’. About the work: Five stereo sound recordings (of around ten seconds to two minutes duration) have been…
Improvising Consciousness
To see what’s new, and possibly on topic, I used again the search URL posted yesterday… There are 16 more videos atop of the ones found yesterday, here’s a selected few of them – in the sequence that they were viewed – one is added to the inclusive improv group collection. Seeing the title ‘Improvising…
improvised
A quick one today… I did a simple search (no filters) on vimeo for ‘improvised’ sorted the results by date: http://vimeo.com/search/sort:date/format:thumbnail?q=Improvised The video I uploaded 22 hours ago was seventh in the results, and the one called ‘random landscape’ was uploaded around the same time: Here it is:
